SMALLRIG Mobile Video Cage for iPhone 16 Pro, Case With T-mount Lens Backplate, Support for MagSafe, Quick Release Rig for Videography Recording Vlog - 4828

I'm a big fan of Smallrig's photographic accessories and this is a good addition. It's very easy to install and has plenty of attachment points for things like microphones, lights, grips and power bank clamps. Well made and sturdy too, and it fits well on my iPhone 16 Pro. it's the best of its type and very good value for money.

Perfect.

Overall system is superb, love it. The quick release handles are awesome and the Bluetooth remote is great. Downside is… side camera button is covered and can’t be accessed at all Should be two clips for when phones inserted into cage, ever so slightly loose with just the one clip If your in a suitable environment this would be ok but, out in the real world, I’m not sure it would stand up to rigorous abuse, namely the clip holding the phone in. Smallrig please sort these issues out as it’s a great system other wise.

So I've been testing this for over a month now to really put it though its paces in different scenarios and I have to say I'm really impressed. I received this as part of the Amazon Vine program so although it was given to me for testing I ensure all reviews and fair and truthful and reflect my findings. I had heard of this brand but never been hands on with it so when I got to have a hands on I was excited. The first thing I noticed is that it has two sections, the inner case and then the metal endoskeleton. The inner case is simple to install and allows for use of all functions of the phone but you will want to use the combo of both the inner and external hard case. The main issue is that once you add the outer case, the quick action button in not accessible. A pretty big oversight in my opinion. Now I get that you can add other items from the Smallrig range which would then negate the need for accessing this button BUT if you are just using this case on its own then this is a pretty big issue for me. This brings me to the case itself. Yes, it has the amazing build quality, and you really won't get better, but in my eyes, I'd never pay £60 for just a phone case on its own. I feel if you are buying SmallRig then you would be buying it to use the accessories which then makes me wonder why they only sell this case on its own rather than as the set. So full disclosure i paid to purchase the handles to go with it after having it for a few weeks as I just had this niggling feeling that I was missing out. Maybe you can call it FOMO. So yes I was suitably impressed with the case build and design but without the handles and extras it really is only half a solution. All in all I feel it's a great product but I would not recommend it just as a phone case given the missing access to the quick action button vs the price but I definitely would recommend it if you are going to get the full kit.

Smallrig have created a niche market in providing solid metal exoskeletons around cameras and mobile devices to allow external devices such as microphones and lights to be attached using multiple standard tripod-style sockets. Their mobile cage for the 16 Pro is very interesting. I scanned the QR code to get access to a detailed instruction manual via the Smallrig website but unfortunately the only instructions are for the 15 Pro, which has a very different folding design. To insert the 16 Pro into the metal cage, it is first inserted into a bespoke Smallrig bumper, which comes with a choice of a plain trim ring (already attached) or a special trim ring that is designed to allow external lenses to be placed over the standard lens. The phone with its bumper is then inserted into the metal cage by first pressing the unlock button to free up the locking mechanism. The “Press” button should be on the bottom left hand side of the phone. If you get the phone upside down as I did on my first attempt, it will try to call Emergency services and the buttons will be inoperative!! The bumper case allows access to the new camera control button on the lower right side of the iPhone 16 Pro but this is blocked by the metal cage. This button presents designers with a difficult challenge so I am not surprised that Smallrig have decided that the best option is to ignore it when the phone is ensconced inside its cage. Once in its metal cage, it is very easy to attach it to a tripod using one of the many sockets available. I used the Arca-style plate that comes with my Neweer Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod and was able to connect my iPhone on top of the tripod just as firmly as my Canon camera. The USB-C socket at the bottom of the iPhone remained easily accessible so I could keep my iPhone fully charged whilst in use or recording wireless audio via USB. There are many Smallrig accessories that can be used with this cage, including a quick release handle and external lenses and Variable ND filters. The mobile cage is just the beginning with many creative possibilities

Great but the clip to screw filters / lenses on does disconnect easily jn your pocket and it will be just a matter of time before you will loose it. A more magnetic touch would have saved that problem.

Qualidade muito boa. Só acho que poderia ter mais roscas para prender acessórios. Estou gostando muito. A pegada de filmar com celular muda completamente.

Cumple con todo y es muy agradable de llevar en mano.
