Universal Smartphone Video Rig with Handles 67mm Filter Adapter Anti Drop Cold Shoe Compatible with DJI Mic iPhone Samsung Galaxy Android, Phone Cage Stabilizer for Video Recording, PA017

If anyone has ever tried to review their phone video and discovered there was none to review, understands how easy it is to unwittingly hit a button and not be taking a video. This rig helps eliminate such mishaps as the phone is attached to the rig, no hands touch the phone once the filming starts. The phone buttons are easy to get to. Other attachments can be used (though I have not). Stability is also improved as one has two handles that help keep a steady, firm focus while filming. Light to handle, easy to remove phone. Stills can also be taking while using the rigging. The phone is secured with an adjustment handle that works fine. So far have found nothing that would be consider negative.

Arrived fast, lightweight, tight grip, with a boot large enough to hold a camera in its case. The rounded side handle is nice to capture rotating pan shots smoothly. There is no rubber inlay, but the texture of the grip is sufficient to avoid slipping. It has multiple mount screws and boot notches for lights, mic, or other accessories

This is easy to use a setup with the cold show mounts and screw mounts, I’ve put this thing on tripods and added lights on the fly. It’s a nice quality material that feels durable but light weight at the same time. It did well in your hands and the size accommodates phones of all sizes making it very versatile. The price was well worth it!

I picked this cage because it had a 67mm ring to screw on a filter in addition to handles. I'll be able to use my phone in pro mode with filters and take better pictures and video. I also purchased a 67mm to 77mm step up ring so I could use my camera filters with my phone. It for just fine. This phone cage also is more of a universal phone fit while some other cages were only for a specific brand and model of phone and many were more geared toward mounting lenses over the phone camera lenses which for now I'm not interested in. This Neewer cage is solid with a matte black finish. There cold shoe mounts to add on a few accessories. Screw holes allow the handles to mount in different positions including vertical or portrait position. Handles can angle if desired and I can mount one on the top (it's not perfectly centered, but no biggie) between the cold shoe mounts so I can walk and do those "movement" videos for B roll. I have a Samsung S23 Ultra that comes with the pen. I can use the pen as a remote for pictures and video and with the cage it's a great set up for shake free pictures and video esecially when mounted on a tripod. CONS: I didn't care for the strap to hold on a magsafe battery, but I guess it's a help though not perfect. Also, the cage won't accommodate my phone in it's case, so I have to remove the case whenever I want to use the cage. You don't loosen a screw to angle the handles and while they are firm, if this is done repeatedly I wonder if the handles will loosen and wiggle. Overall I'm very happy with this cage choice for versatility and ability to mount filters. I got this at a discounted price so while not perfect certainly a great value for what it can do to aid capturing better pictures and video.

Best in the class.

Seems solid, but my older iPhone 12 Pro Max and thin phone case (for Moment lenses) just barely fits in the fully extended open clamp. It is very snug and a little fiddly to get in or out, but it does the job. Pairing this with handles for better hand held stability. Plenty of spots to attach accessories. Giving it four stars for the great build quality and fair price.

works great with my iphone for all of my social media needs

Bought this for some around the house/yard video with my phone. Was a bit skeptical at first, but when I started using it, I've been really impressed with it. I can use my iPhone 15 pro max with a case still on it and it holds it just fine. Plenty of spaces for add-ons with 1/4" screw mounts or cold shoe mounts. Grips are very comfortable to hold, smooth with no unfinished edges. It's super light weight, but yet very sturdy, no worried about stuff damaging the case (within practical loading). I enjoy how I can almost mimic a gimbal with it since I can use a two hand grip. Allows you to shoot great video quality. Overall I'd highly recommend this for anyone with a smart phone wanting to get a little upgrade without having to dive into an expensive gimbal. Factor in the addon abilities with this and it's a fantastic deal.
