15 Pro Cage [2nd Generation]

This cage is tight. It snuggly holds my 16 Pro Max in place and the cutout rubber plug that protects the camera bar when not in use is perfectly sized. I wish that plug came in other colors. The anodized black finish is a nice touch.I ended up getting another for my significant other’s iPhone 16 pro because she likes taking photos when she travels and wants to borrow some of my lenses on the next trip. I did it difficult to own a smartphone with such a great camera and not accessorize it with the best possible gear.My biggest gripe with this cage would be the lack of abundant options for the claw clasp to hold accessories on seeing as that had been the most difficult thing to find many choices on.The frame isn’t too much heavier than any other cage I’ve used but it is more comfortable to cold in comparison to the Smallrig cage I had for my 12 Max Pro. On that one the outer edges were sharply angled to make for an uncomfortable hold over long periods unless you had a handle installed. The difference here, and I thank the designers, is that the frame edges are rounded off so it is a more natural hold and can allow you to use the frame as just a case when not shooting video or photos.The price isn’t terrible as I’ve seen cases that do less for the phone and charge far more. The case also comes with three inserts for the camera array. A 67mm threaded lens adapter, a 17mm threaded adapter, and the T-mount/M-mount adapter (it is suggested to use T-mount lenses on this phone)While I am disappointed there are only two cold shoe mounts on this larger sized cage, there are 4 grooves to mount a specialized claw mount connector to the frame on all four sides that certain handle mounts connect to. There is also a big enough space that is free over the MagSafe area to attach other accessories without minimal issue. This frame is extremely solid and well put together when compared to the Smallrig frame for my 12 Pro Max as the way that was screwed together the screws would vibrate loose because of loose fitting around the phone and bad design choices. This is far more solid without rattling when I shake it meaning the parts are all snugly fitted, even the camera array plates. It also has a small lever that locks the top of the case to keep the phone in so there are few chances that will accidentally open.With how well this case is made, it is quieter than my other was due to the soft feel of the rounded corners, all the screws are tight, the overlap of the silicone liner that keeps the phone firmly in the frame. I love that I don’t hear rattling. There is also a lanyard connector so you can attach the phone to a wrist strap or a lanyard around your neck.The ease of use has to do with the solid build and tool free attachments of the camera lens templates. The attach solidly and have a silicone “shoe” on them and a ballbearing to keep the plate from wiggling. I would advise you to lay the phone on a flat surface when applying the lens plate as it requires some practice to know how hard to press to seat the tabs in place. Attempt to put one side “downward” then the other. You’ll see what I mean. The buttons all remain prominent and functional with the design for normal use. I even have a glass screen shield on as well as a camera shield and it all fits together wellUsing these cages for my family’s iPhone 16 pro and my iPhone 16 Pro Max is a good choice for making home videos and vacation photos look great. Lens attachments for the T-mount lenses, 17mm and 67mm lenses allows for better quality videos with the quality your phone was designed for. You can mount lights to it and or an external mic with the two cold shoe mounts and 10 1/4” screw mounts. Amazing case.Something to consider with these cases is width. Some of the automatic grabbing phone mounts for your vehicle do not open wide enough to grab the iPhone 16 Pro Max while it is in the cage but your iPhone 16 pro should just make it into some of them.

Neewer has developed an excellent photo system for my iPhone. And the iPhone camera is so good that I sold my Leica.The system’s well designed aluminum cage includes attachments that securely cover the iPhone camera lenses. And also provides an excellent 67mm filter attachment. (This is the best filter mount I’ve found for the iPhone, because it doesn’t use an easily dislodged spring clip. Rather it attaches to a secure mount specifically designed for my iPhone 16 Pro Max.)The standard thread 67mm mount will let me use Neewer’s circular polarizer filter (bought separately). Or thread a flexible 67 mm rubber hood for taking photos against tour bus glass windows while eliminating glare.The cage also can attach securely to another Neewer product: Neewer’s Swiss arca tripod clamp. This will replace my also nice but a little capable Peak Design tripod accessory and system.I didn’t order and can’t comment on the system’s other accessories.The only slight downside is some increased weight and size of the cage. But it fits into my pockets. And all the great features will make this my best travel photography system.Highly recommend this well thought out system.

So far this item has been as described and has worked well in my testing. My first complaint would be that some of the edges could almost be called sharp, including the ones around the phone's screen. I've yet to cut myself on them because I've largely avoided trying to run my finger along them, primarily because they make me nervous. It'll probably be fine, but since this is an updated design, I'm surprised they couldn't have done a more to smooth those out.The lens mounts are working, but I don't have a lot of faith in the snap-on adapter plates that sit between the cage and the lens/filter. I've yet to attach a bulky lens like the Reeflex 240mm, but can say that in using various filters on the 67mm adapter, that plate will snap off while you're trying to make adjustments because the whole thing twists with the lens. If you look closely at the product photos, you'll see that the various connections for the back just slide in and hit a detente with no secondary lock to enable. Having bought this with the plan to eventually use it with lenses, this is also making me nervous. I generally like the brand though and will keep the item since I need something immediately.

Si tienes un iPhone 16 pro MAX y eres creador de contenido sin duda este sera el mejor cage que podrás comprar para proteger y estabilizar tus tomas, viene con un disparador Bluetooth y un adaptador para los diferentes tipos de lentes que NEEWER tiene para nosotros

Built like a tank.

Fits my iPhone perfectly. Sturdy and well finished. Easy to use and setup. Raised edges on the front and back protect the phone. Add a couple of grips and you transform a phone into a decent camera that’s easy to hold. I like the 67mm filter holder. It’s the same filter my Sony lenses use. A great addition to my camera gear.

I love this iphone case!
