Looks good. Something I spotted in your video: it seems that the extendable handle has a 1/4" thread too at the bottom. That means it could be mounted on the tripod to extend it and to have a little bit higher tripod.

It looks ridiculous and I love The yellow design reminds me of Corridor Crew. lol

Thanks, as always, for the video . Have you tried the Titla Khronos? We’d love to know what you think of that. The killer feature (I think) of that may be the fan module for our overheating phone. Also arca Swiss usb hubs. Also POWER delivery through the cage . We wonder how soon all these companies will have to iPhone 16 pro max cages.

Thanks for the vid. 👍
Any idea if the Freewell anamorphic lenses can mount on this cage?
On amazon it says that it only works with the Freewell Sherpa series cases, but I just find it weird that it wouldn't work with this cage since it's the same brand

What is the default mount plate that comes with it? I assume M series since they have the 17mm and T-Series plates for sale additionally.

Great video! Could you please tell me if the rotating handles turn fairly tightly? I’m concerned that if several items are attached to the case, the phone might rotate under the weight.

Is the build quality okay?

I saw your thumbnail for the video today while I was out working...which I thought was a killer thumbnail by the way...and had to get home and get some Vic time. That is a well thought out set up! Going to check it out some more. Hope you are doing well and thanks again for the content! 😊😁

Something no one seems to be talking about is combination of cage + filters + external magsafe ssd (+cooler fan)... which i think would be a complete system, especially for those doing video in hot sunny weather.

As always, Vic, a great video. If I’m honest mate, I’ve stopped buying this type of stuff because I change my phone too often and it’s just a complete waste of money. When they solve an ecosystem they can deal with the changing iPhones every year then great.

[PatrickMastersProductions]

What about VND filters? Is there one that can slide over the lens plate?

[thechriswhewell]

Great piece of kit, well explained. Shame I have an S23

What was the name of that last rig by Brandon. ??someone?? You said it's slimmer ?? Where can I take a look at that one ???

[manius_dive]

It’s a pity you haven’t added Polish subtitles so that the video could be translated. I understand English, but many of my friends don’t, and they would like to watch your videos on YouTube.

You all have it wrong, I’m sorry. Caging up your phone like this takes away from the phone it’s major quality: portability and quick access. Using all this rig makes it uncomfortable and does not make that much from your video quality. Also, it still does not solve some of the problems like connecting, at the same time, a ssd and a mic. I advise all of you to look at a company called quip design and see what are they doing. They are making of the iphone a proper video machine without loosing the major qualities.
