We’re wedding videographers, and this phone video cage blew us away. Here’s why:Build Quality: Incredibly solid. The aluminum frame feels premium and can handle heavy use without flexing or creaking. We mounted lights, mics, and even a monitor — it held everything with zero issue.Design: Clean, minimalist, and practical. The layout makes it easy to balance weight and access your phone’s buttons. It’s clearly built by people who understand mobile production.Fit: Works perfectly with our iPhones, even in slim cases. No wobble or slipping — it locks in securely.Value for Money: Worth every penny. You’re getting pro-level gear without breaking the bank. It performs like rigs 3x the price.Functionality: Tons of cold shoe mounts and 1/4” threads for maximum flexibility. Whether handheld or mounted on a tripod, it adapts quickly to your setup.Versatility: We used it for handheld shots, mounted shots, interviews, even BTS reels. It’s now part of our go-to kit — not just for weddings, but for travel and social content too.Verdict: If you’re serious about mobile content, don’t think twice. It transforms your phone into a real camera rig — and your footage will show it.

This system is really well set up, and the included case fits really well. I do wish the frame fit more 3rd party cases (didn't fit mine), but considering one is included it's not really a knock against it.The camera cover on the case, however, does jut out a bit - and the finish on the aluminum if pretty easily scratched. Don't expect this to look like new for long, but it's plenty hardy.

This is a truly fantastic and well-made item even with one handle it’s perfect for every day use andmuch more secure if you’re always dropping your phone.The quality is just off the chart with everything fitting perfectly spring loaded ball detent mechanisms. It’s really fantastic for the money.

Great product. Be aware that the case may make it to where any USB-C/Lightning dongles you have may not fit.

Well thought out product for the money with tight tolerances out of the box and handles very well. I don't use this very often so after several months it has seen only occasional use. Old Manfrotto tripod plates seem to securely fit. My only complaint is replacing the battery in the remote shutter release - multiple small screws make it a 5 minute process to replace the 2032 battery cell on the remote release. Easy to switch side handles from vertical to horizontal orientation. Frame covers the lower right-side action button on my 16 pro Max iPhone but that's a minor quibble. Holding the handles gives some manual image stabilization that combined with my phone's image stabilization really helps in lowlight conditions when not using my phone's built-in flash.

This is definitely a quality product which I received earlier today. I will give it a proper try tomorrow, but my first impression is I am very pleased with the high-quality. It is not a cheap plastic. It is actually aluminum metal everything about it feels nice.

La verdad me llegó en un empaque poco estético y era para un regalo, no lo volvería a comprar para sus prestaciones su precio es muy elevado b

2 issues with this case, neither are enough to drop a star. The case collects small particles of dirt and grime from being my every day carry case for my phone, I occasionally take frame off of phone for cleaning with phone wipes. Around the lens the rubber rings glued to the cage have came off, for me not an issue due to I don’t use lenses enough for it to matter I keep the rubber rings and pt on before adding lenses. The cage has a couple scratches in the paint due to drop damage, no damage to structure of the cage and has protected the phone very well, even the glass screen protector has been protected completely by cage any other case I’ve used would of at minimum cracked the screen protector by now from drops but not this cage still using original screen protector I put on phone 2 years ago.
