These lenses do fit on the lightweight SmallRig cage if you add the 17mm lens adapter plate and then screw on a 17-37mm adapter. Works superbly and within weight specs for smaller gimbals. That said, I am seldom pulling out a gimbal nowadays as action mode is so stable. Great review, thanks!

Hi Blake. Just a couple of questions. Since shooting video doesn’t utilize the whole sensor in the iPhone, how do photos look when taken with this lens attached? Also, the sensor sizes have increased in the later iPhones, but would you not say that the optics have changed in the lenses of these new phones and this also has an effect on edge softness?

@iphoneographers Жыл бұрын

I haven’t done much photography with that lens, maybe a shot here or there but they work fine in my experience. I think the newer generation phones have definitely upgraded their optics, but they’re extremely sharp. So adding a lens is actually a nice way to get a softer, more pleasing image.

Hello, Blake! Thanks for the information. One question though. I own an iPhone 11 Pro Max, do you think this will work well with this phone? And second, I own 67mm diffusion and ND Filters since I own some Moment Lenses. If I purchase a step up ring (62mm to 67mm) do you think I will get some kind of vignetting? Their official site says that they recommend 77mm at least. So if that would be a problem I'll just probably go with the Moment option. Thank you!

@iphoneographers Жыл бұрын

I use both 67 and 77mm. Now you might still get some occasional vignetting, especially if you’re running image stabilization because it sometimes “drifts“ and causes vignetting. But it’s minimal and usually only on wide lenses, not telephoto. I haven’t tried the lens on an earlier model phones, but it’s my understanding they’re backwards compatible, and really just designed to accommodate the larger sensors of the later phones.

I tested it with the 13 Pro. The 1.7 Is a little better than Beastgrip's previous tele, the 2.0 . You will get more resolution with the 1.7 but the 2.0 goes farther, blurs the background more and has a better lens cap. The 2.0 is not available anymore so you can only buy the 1.7. If you are not in a hurry then wait until later in the year. Freewell will release its first tele lens for iPhones . Shiftcam will release a new. tele lens. Beastgrip lenses are much better than Moment and Sandmarc's . The current Shiftcam tele is as good or better than the Beastgrip 2.0. They will release a. new lens that is likely to be better than Beastgrip. Freewell's lens could also be better than Beastgrip seeing the quality of their Sherpa VND filter. The advantage of Freewell and Shiftcam over Beastgrip is that you can use them with Smallrig universal rig so you won't need to buy a cage every time you get a new iPhone seeing that Apple, an irresponsible manufacturer, changes the size of their phones every year. They change it just enough to force customers to buy new cases.

It really depends on how you want to use it. The Beastcage is much more robust and heavy duty, not something to easily run and gun with. The Smallrig is much lighter and more portable. Or you can consider the Beastgrip Pro too, which is lighter and universal. And it also has a 37mm mount.

Get both. The Smallrig is much cheaper and you can save money if you buy Smallrig NATO handles for the Beastgrip cage instead of the Beastgrip handles.But you won't be able to use Beastgrip lenses with the Smallrig cage. You can use ND filters, though, which are more important for good shooting with iPhone than lenses. You can also use Moment and Sandmarc lenses with the Smallrig cage but those lenses are just not good enough. I tested tele lens from Sandmarc, Moment, Shiftcam and Beastgrip (the 2x).Both Shiftcam and Beastgrip were much better than Moment and Sandmarc. Shiftcam was a little better than Beastgrip but Shiftcam has a customer lock in policy and they don't match with anything.

Thanks for this review, Blake. I was a Moment fan for the longest time. Their lenses still work fine on my personal 11 Pro Max. But I was terribly disappointed to find they didn't function well when I upgraded my work phone to a 13 Pro Max. I shoot mostly run-and-gun stuff, so the telephoto capability is my lens focus (pun intended!). I've explored a variety of lens options, including Sandmarc and Reeflex. But I just wasn't convinced they were the right move for me. Replacing my current rig with a Beastgrip Pro in order to get and use the new 1.7x lens is a significant investment - one I made last night. With the trend toward larger sensors and larger smartphone camera lens diameters, moving to the 37mm diameter lens mount seems to be a bit of future proofing. But I guess I'll find out this fall, as I intend to retire my 11 Pro Max for the new 15 Pro Max (or whatever they are going to call it.)

Dumb question but why hasn’t phone camera technology obsoleted the 35mm cameras?

I need something to zoom in more for my kids gymnastics events. I either need to move to a fill dslr and cannot use my smartphone anymore.

The new iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 5x tele that works very well for that kind of thing.

Did you had any auto focus problems?

@iphoneographers Жыл бұрын

None. Most everything in this video was shot in autofocus. Haven’t shot in low light yet though and that can sometimes make it hunt.

I bought a tele 1.7 lens before, and every photo I took had dark corners. I want to know why? I don't know if the method I'm using is wrong? My phone is iPhone 14 pro max.

@iphoneographers 7 ай бұрын

I’ve not used it for photography, but my guess is that when shooting stills the iPhone uses more of the sensor as compared to video - so you’re getting some vignetting. I’ll try and test this myself. With Beastgrip I use it for video 99% of the time and for that it works flawlessly.

Haven’t tested it, but… Since you have to use a cage to hold the lens you’re going to be over the 400g limit.

So if I wanted to add a filter to this lens, would I purchase a 62 mm?

@iphoneographers Жыл бұрын

Yes. Or what I do often is buy larger ones that are more compatible with other cameras and then use a step-up ring. I typically like 77mm.

Has anyone else used this lens with the Smallrig iPhone 15 Pro cage and the M-mount to 37mm adapter? For me, the corners are very very soft. Anyone else have this problem?

@iphoneographers 5 күн бұрын

I’d have to do more testing, but I haven’t noticed any issues with the telephoto. It’s definitely possible though it could be an alignment thing.

@BensonOutdoor 3 күн бұрын

@@iphoneographers I appreciate the response. I ordered BeastGrips cage for my 15 Pro. I am hoping because its their lens and their cage, it will fix the issue. If not, i assume its a faulty lens. I will find out Wednesday! Thanks again

@iphoneographers Жыл бұрын

To a degree it’s subjective, but Apple does take video the most seriously. And their Cinematic mode is the best for sure.

The problem with the lens is if you upgrade your phone then you need to upgrade the lens.

@iphoneographers 6 ай бұрын

Lenses aren’t like cases and so they don’t have to be upgraded very often. It’s only happened once so far in the history of the iPhone. When the 13 Pro came along with its larger sensor and camera bump - lenses started having issues. This lens works now with every model phone.
