This new Phone grip is a bit on the pricey side but it looks really interesting. Check out this link and watch the video and then tell me what you think.

Perhaps you should provide us with your thoughts first. Perhaps someone might then actually make the effort to respond.

I watched the video on the link. The device looks well made and has a lot of nice features. Their app looked nice but there are other phone camera apps that will do basically the same thing. Their case allowed you to insert a Moment lens camera adapter for attaching Moment lenses. FYI, I tried that plastic adapter awhile back and found it to be poorly made. It broke easily when trying to get it off and on. I guess that's the reason they send 2 of them when you purchase that from them. Personally, I don't think the grip is for me. I am very comfortable using my IPhone without an added Grip. I made the post because I know people have discussed these types of grips before and wanted to show what's new in the market.
Your turn. :-)

I looked through the page advert and then watched the video. Yes, it’s a bit pricy, but it looks like a game changer. If you have an iPhone, it’s a great thing to have. I won’t say that it raises the iPhone to a professional-level camera, but it does raise the bar considerably by incorporating many of the controls and features found on a dedicated camera. It certainly looks to be very versatile, for sure. I bookmarked the website.

I may have to buy the $20 ULANZI CG01 grip just to learn if I need one.
Another alternative might be one that you can attach every big camera accessory and is universal to any phone like this:

I tried the smallrig for my IPhone 13 Pro Max awhile back. I wanted away to attach the Moment lenses that I have. The thing weighed a ton. Definitely not what I was looking for. I sent it back.

I have a friend that does real documentaries with 'real' Blackmagic cameras. For a shoot he fills the back of a Subaru Outback with gobs of gear. It seems that part of it is the effect on subjects. The more gear, the more initial credibility he gets. When he got a new iPhone 15 for quick B-Roll, he put a cage around it with gadgets attached. I think it looks silly!

Yikes! That rig doesn't exactly slip easily into your pocket! Since I'm a Samsung guy, the Fjorden grip is a no go. But it does look interesting.
I did get the Ulanzi CG02 for my phone and it works very well.

F stop: Interesting video and article. I shoot with the Samsung 23S Ultra so not for me. Looks interesting and pricy. I use a Ulanzi grip and platy pod rod. Works pretty well. If you come across any courses for the Samsung please let me know. Hope all had a fantastic weekend.

It looks as if it is exactly what I need and thought I’d give it a try. I ordered one, it has a 30 day money back guarantee.. I’ll let you know how I like it.

I haven’t seen this one before. But I do own a few different types of cages (including the Smallrig cage pictured above) and grips for my iPhone 15 promax. My current favorite is the Freewell Sherpa system. Lots of lenses and the grip has a removable trigger on top that allows you to shoot from a distance. It also extends to give you a short selfy stick and has a cold shoe on top for lights mics or other things and a quarter inch thread in the bottom for mounting. I really like their VND, CPL, and Snowmist filter which does a good job reducing the digital feel of the iPhone. They make them for both iPhone and Android.
