Constructed from high-grade aluminium, the Phone Cage is a premium magnetic smartphone mounting system with 33 mounting threads and five cold shoe slots that enable creators to add accessories and build a mobile videography rig, tailored to their exact needs. At its heart is a powerful magnetic mounting disc for attaching any MagSafe iPhone or MagSafe-compatible smartphone accessory. Integrated cable management slots make it easy to stay neat and tidy, with a slot in each corner for use in any configuration. The Phone Cage can also be used as an ergonomic grip for handheld filming and its innovative design supports both portrait and landscape orientations, making it easy to capture cinematic footage in traditional horizontal aspect ratios as well as vertical content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and other social media platforms. The Phone Cage will be available in late April. Find out more here.

The Magnetic Mount is another versatile magnetic mounting system for attaching microphones, lights and other accessories to any MagSafe iPhone or MagSafe-compatible smartphone case or accessory. It features the same ultra-strong magnet as the Phone Cage for attaching to a phone and comes with three removable arms: short and long cold shoe arms for shooting in landscape or portrait mode, plus a long arm with ¼-inch thread for mounting onto a tripod, handle or desktop arm for use in a wide range of video or content creation applications. The Magnetic Mount will be available in late April. Find out more here.
