Review on πŸ“± Beastcage Protector (for iPhone 7/8/SE) by Travis Caminiti

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A real beast, in a good way!

I know a lot of people want to make their iPhone cameras even better, and I think Beastgrip is a great way to do that. The workmanship is solid and of good quality. The 37mm machined metal thread is strong and makes it easy to attach the lens securely (I use the Beastgrip Pro wide angle lens, but any 37mm compatible lens will do). There is a range of standard threaded attachment points for tripods or other equipment. , and a cold shoe is built into the case. My only complaint, and why 4 and not 5 stars, is that the downside of the solid solid metal construction is that it makes the phone bulkier and heavier (especially important when using a gimbal) as ideal. However, after looking at a range of iPhone lens settings including Moment, I think the trade-off is worth it. I need durability and prefer a threaded lens mount to a bayonet mount (although a bayonet mounting plate is included if that's what you prefer), and I also feel that my phone offers plenty of protection and utility in the Beastgrip. As a phone case I find it surprisingly good considering the weight/size - the buttons are great and it's easier to slide the phone in and out of the Beastgrip if you prefer to switch cases. All in all a really great product that will find many fans in the world of iPhoneography.
