I don't understand why these rig companies don't understand the niche they are making products for? Anyone who wants a cage for a phone camera wants a small, lightweight cage that can add ND filters and easy access to SSDs. I don't want a bulky, large cage that equals the size of my cine rig????
There are smaller rigs. This is the large one. Several companies, including Beastgrip make them.
Yep. Smallrig for example or Neewer
Fr. I want a grip that plugs straight into the usbc slot and with built in ports and cfexpress type b slots in the back of it. Screws right into a compatible SLIM metal cage on opposite ends of the USB c port.
And with 2 coldshoe mounts on top as well as a tripod mount on the bottom.
A mount for lenses and filters and then space for a magsafe battery and I'm GOOD.
I fxcking HATE the bulk of these rigs. Stxpid asf.
Thank you so much for this video. Its so good to know the new Beastgrip Lenses works with iPhone 15 Pro Max.
I might have to pick up one of the lenses! Thank you for trying them all and sharing your results. Super helpful!
Appreciate you showing us all of these test results. I just wish there more options for mounting lenses and filters to phones that are in a case. Some companies like Moment have this option, but their cases don't seem very protective.

I really don't know anything about it and I am looking for a good zoom lens for the iPhone 15 pro max. What I want is that I want to be able to zoom a lot further with the video camera, if possible, and with decent quality of course.
Where do I use this; at the football, at a concert and at Tomorrowland. The problem is that I always stand very far away to film, I don't like standing in the crowd. That's why I need a good lens for video camera zooming (with a suitable case) for this for a maximum of 200 euros. Which is good both during the day and in the dark.
4:57 Haven't you noticed the vignetting when you move the camera? I have the same issue with the Beastgrip X1.7 tele. I bet it's your ND filter. On sticks, these lenses have no vignetting. However, with camera movement, I have to do an X1.4 zoom with their tele lens to eliminate the vignette. With their wide lens, this may be a bigger issue. Their lens is already X0.75 instead of X0.5 (the native ultra-wide lens in the iPhone 15 Pro), but you'll probably have to get to X0.85 or 0.9 to eliminate the vignetting. If you don't want to zoom or crop in post, the solution is probably to get an adaptor ring and use bigger NDs. I already had a 67mm set, for better or worse.
would love to know how beastgrip lenses compare to the moment t-series! thank you:)
Thank you so much for doing this! This is everything I needed to know.
Would like to know more about the best way to just add ND filters to the iPhone 15 Pro And Pro Max for having a good compact camera in your pocket. Something that compliments your new grip with SSD.
Plenty of cases support filter mounts to keep things minimal! Moment, PolarPro etc.
@@initialfocus - Yes - but I need a case that supports both holding an SSD and supports mounting ND and other filters. That is the new what the new iPhone 15 Pro's need. The case you came up with is a solution for SSD only. Now, how do we have the capability to have both????
Why nd filter on a small sensor like that!?
@@leodileodileo Because you have a fixed aperture - the iPhones are approx 1.8. The ND filter allows you to step down for a correct exposure. I use the BMC app and a fixed ISO of 1250 for maximum dynamic range from the iPhone ProRes 422 Log. My VND allows me to do it easily.
@@chrisbogart687 ok I have some nd filters for my mirrorless camera lenses , but i've never feel the needs of using one on a phone, you will have sharper no bokeh photo also at 1.8 unless you're using the (fake bokeh effect)the is digital. I will search for more info online but for now I just don't get it.
This video is a good help for me, thanks man 👍🏼
Michael, any way you can do this same type of testing with the Moment and Sandmarc phone lens sets?
Moment is sending over some gear I know in the next week or so! I don’t currently have a contact at Sandmarc but if they wanted me to test some stuff out I’d be happy to. If there’s interest in more videos like this though I’ll happily keep them coming 👍🏼
For what it is worth, Moment recently put out a video saying they do not recommend using their new T-series telephoto lens on the 5x of the 15 Pro Max. I asked a similar question of Sandmarc and the gave a similar answer regarding their newest telephoto lens. Shiftcam says there tele will work on the 5x but I haven’t seen any video confirmation. Freewell is reportedly working on a new tele lens as part of their new line. Reeflex just pushed a Kickstarter campaign for a new series of lenses, but the use examples of their prototype tele over the 5x are scant. I own the 1.7x Beastgrip lens. It produces stellar images over the 3x on my 13 Pro Max using their Beastgrip Pro universal cage. But swapping from this lens to the native iPhone lenses, especially when I need ND filters on both, is fiddly and time consuming. It doesn’t work well with my typical run-and-gun shooting scenarios. I’m probably going to get a 15 Pro Max & sell my Beastgrip stuff, and hope a high quality but easier to use solution is on the horizon.
I am definitely a Beastgrip fan. I was wondering which set up you prefer. The Beastgrip cage or the Beastgrip grip pro.
Where can I get the wide lens for the iPhone you just showcased
Awesome video ! I don't know if i must wait the new beastcage for iPhone 15 or not... To tell you the truth, I'm a little tired of waiting. So, you have the older version and no problem for iPhone 15 ? Thanks !
Wonder how these lenses go with Pixel 8 Pro and beastgrip rig.
Michael! That plane shot, I'm guessing you filmed all in ProRes, what if you digitally crop in Resolve. Would that render a better quality than zooming in on the phone camera???
@initialfocus DO you reccomend any particular BT remote start/stop for iphone?
All three lenses and the LiDAR sensor on the back of the iphone are calibrated to another and used in harmony for computing focus, HDR, flare reduction, color harmony, stabilization and rolling shutter. It’s what makes the investment work. So good job nullifying that by sticking a piece of after market plastic in front of it 👑.
Wdym?
3:32 возможно это просто размытие?(А фокусировка на фонтане)
Или действительно недостаток линзы?(
how to eliminate the green dot flare?what filter do you use?
Since the 1.7 telephoto is 62mm, you cant mount a Moment ND filter on it right?
Sir, the lense and phone holder sell together or separately?
How do you rate the wide and tele lenses to the options from Sandmarc?
when we start buying lenses, filters, adapters etc for phones..... time to buy a camera.
Hm, spending 300 ish dollars on the filters + lenses + cases Vs spending a 1000 on a camera... If you have the phone, might as well kit it out.
i agree if you plan to get better at one point. If you are not planing anything with cameras just trying to make some fun with your phone and premier, Why not.
My phones go everywhere I go, my cameras didn’t. I plan on buying the Beastgrip anamorphic lens (unsure which one) when the iPhone 15 cage is release. I don’t carry a calc, have a watch or carry day planner, etc.. anymore either. The lens will be in my car ready to use. Works for me. My only interest now is video and the quality of the 15 is good enough for my use.
it’s one less thing to charge, get outdated, get stolen, worry about, offload footage from, etc…plus a cage + anamorphic is
Question.. for my work the S23 ultra has a DETAIL image of teeth and gums .. I am an Apple user .. whit the iPhone 15 pro max camara still CaNt get the proper image like Samsung.. what Lens do y recommend to get that clear detail image.. happy with my IOS operating system
can you compare it with Moment?
The moment Tseries 58 is horrendous, very soft on the outside and you have to manually focus...avoid like the plague!
Not sure if Breatsgrip title was on purpose or not…great video tho!
🤦🏻♂️ thanks haha
I dont understand how you use a lens with a phone.
Yes! Finally
iPhone 15plus
Another lens review video where there are no images available to download. It feels like every reviewer is actually selling a product. We all need to make a living I suppose.
Just buy the s23 ultra if you want good pics you don't need any special lenses
Horrible cases...
