The PolarPro LiteChaser 16 EXO Back Plate attaches to the rear of the iPhone 16 Pro via the MagSafe connection for a seamless installation and removal process. This kit includes a LiteChaser VND 3-5 stop filter designed specifically for mobile filmmakers so you can lower shutter speeds to cinematic levels while shooting on the go.
The Exo BackPlate wraps around the lenses and uses a 3M micro-suction material to hold securely in place beyond just the magnetic connection. As a result, you get the cold, naked feel of your iPhone in hand while retaining a stable mount for PolarPro glass. The edges of the Exo sit just inside the iPhone 16, preserving that minimal profile while protecting and aligning the lens area.
The included LiteChaser VND 3-5 stop filter reduces light by a preset range so you can achieve lower shutter speeds for cinematic motion blur. Laser-etched stop indicators show how much light you are reducing within the 3–5 stop range. This makes it easier to read and set exposure when you film run-and-gun content, helping you produce footage that matches your creative intent.
The Exo features a QuickSlide filter and lens locking system so you can change filters and lenses without slowing your workflow. PolarPro designed the mount to be compatible with all LiteChaser 15 Filters and adapters, enabling flexible use with existing PolarPro accessories. Additionally, the kit includes a new Flip-Down Defender that protects your lenses and allows fast, grab-and-shoot access without removing the BackPlate entirely.
The BackPlate uses a full aluminum design with perfectly contoured edges to maintain the iPhone feel while adding durability and alignment for the lens area. The combination of metal construction, MagSafe attachment, and micro-suction gives a minimalist yet secure solution for filmmakers who prefer shooting without a case.
First, the VND filter gives you practical exposure control in bright conditions so you can use slower shutter speeds for cinematic motion. Second, the QuickSlide system and Flip-Down Defender keep you ready for fast changes and quick captures. Finally, the MagSafe attachment and micro-suction combine to keep the BackPlate aligned and stable while preserving the minimal, case-free experience.
Question: Will the Exo BackPlate stay secure if I shoot handheld without a case?
Answer: Yes. The Exo uses both the MagSafe connection and a 3M micro-suction material that wraps around the lenses to hold the BackPlate securely in place beyond the magnetic connection, making it suitable for handheld, run-and-gun use.
Question: What does the VND 3-5 stop filter do and who is it for?

Question: Can I change filters quickly during a shoot?
Answer: Yes. The QuickSlide filter and lens locking system lets you switch filters and lenses quickly. It is compatible with all LiteChaser 15 Filters and adapters, so you can use existing PolarPro filter options as needed.

Answer: The kit includes a Flip-Down Defender that protects your lenses and also allows quick shots without removing the BackPlate, giving both protection and speed when you need it.
