Do you need a rig for your iPhone? Do you need a rig for any smartphone? Well, in some cases the smallrig iPhone cage does make a lot of sense. It's small, light weight and has a ton of mounting options for lights, handles, mics and so on.

I used one for my 11 pro max and liked it so much that i kept my phone in the smallrig 24/7 for protection against bumps etc.. and it saved my phone more than once from being destroyed! Yes it makes the phone more bulky but rather safe than sorry. I have now upgraded to a 14 pro max but stil not seeing anything on smallrig’s website that indicates them keeping up with newer models.. A universal rig is just not the same, this specific model iphone rigs just makes it so much easier to keep your phone protected.

Thanks and it’s neat that it fits Moment lenses (for me). My issue is I have the 13 mini so few to no options especially is I attach filters.

only cost 39$ so its not much more or less than a phone case. I use my as a case and a cage

Great video and information, thank you! From the looks of it, it' doesn't look like it's designed for an iPhone 13 mini. What are your thoughts on that? Again, nice video, and thanks once againl

It’s a shame there is no demonstration footage of the stability when handholding this rig with handles.

Good review. I had a Small Rig for my Iphone 12 Pro Max which I am now selling since I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max--they are slightly different in size. This was fun to use for theme park recording and the many hot shoe spots on it gave me space for light, microphone, or other stuff.

I order the 13 Pro even the box says its for the 13 Pro but when I try to slide it down the cage it wont fit, has this happen to anyone in the past .?

i am looking for a backplate 17mm for my iphone 12 pro, is there..?

Sir, I am considering also daily use the SmallRig iPhone cage. Will the rig affect iPhone’s cell signal or Wi-Fi receiving? Is the rig still durable after a year? Thank you. I like your channel.👍

Is there a way to mount Sandmarc ND filters directly onto the Smallrig cage or do I need a Sandmarc lens as well?

[itube]

Picked this up recently but there's so much mic hiss/white noise and lowers my voice. Any way to fix this for live streaming? I have a Galaxy S20

[cameronwarrenmusic]

Would you use this as an everyday case as well or take it off and replace with standard case when not in production?

[НикитаСтеблянко-нш]

Is the case suitable for the moment lenses?

[Mik]

To be 100% honest the actual design is great from a concept. But their quality control and testing are below par. I have owned 3 of these and they all have the same issues. If you use the side handles as well as the top handle it distorts. Originally I had issues with the cage door would click while walking. I tried to add some rubber o ring and washers to make sure the screws wouldn't come in contact with the phone. A for effort D for nice try.
