The PolarPro LiteChaser 16 Base Case for iPhone 16 Pro provides a slim platform that lets you quickly slide PolarPro glass and filters in front of your phone camera. This kit includes a LiteChaser VND 3-5 stop filter so mobile filmmakers can lower shutter speeds to achieve cinematic motion and exposure control.
The BaseCase foregoes the embedded Cold Shoe mount that the ProCase features, making the case slimmer and compatible with wireless charging. In addition, PolarPro made the MagSafe array 2x thicker and stronger to improve the connection to MagSafe vehicle mounts.
Moreover, a new Flip-Down defender protects your lenses while allowing quick shots without fully removing the case. The BaseCase also includes a removable grip that positions your finger for the iPhone 16 Pro camera control button and adds mounting flexibility.
The LiteChaser VND in this kit covers a preset 3–5 stop range. Laser-etched stop indicators on the filter show how much light you reduce inside that range. Consequently, you can lower shutter speeds for motion blur or exposure control while keeping clear visual feedback of the current setting.
The removable grip includes two 1/4"-20 mounts, one on the top and one on the bottom. Therefore, you can attach the case to a tripod and add an SSD or other accessories right away. The stronger MagSafe array targets a more secure connection to vehicle mounts.
The QuickSlide filter and lens locking system lets you change filters and lenses seamlessly. It works with all LiteChaser 15 filters and adapters, so you can expand your setup with compatible PolarPro glass and lenses.
question: Is the BaseCase compatible with wireless charging?
Answer: The BaseCase is designed to be slimmer by foregoing the embedded Cold Shoe mount, and the product copy states it is compatible with wireless charging. However, one feature note in the list mentions the magnet array and includes a parenthetical about Cold Shoe-mounted solutions not being wireless charging compatible. If wireless charging is a priority, check the specific model and mounting configuration before purchase.
question: How does the VND 3-5 filter indicate the current light reduction?
Answer: The included VND 3-5 stop filter has laser-etched stop indicators. Those markings show how much light you are reducing within the preset 3–5 stop range, which helps you dial in the correct shutter speed and exposure for cinematic motion.
question: What mounting options do I have with the BaseCase?
Answer: The removable grip features two 1/4"-20 mounts—one on top and one on the bottom—so you can mount the BaseCase to a tripod and attach accessories such as an SSD. The thicker MagSafe array also aims to provide a stronger connection to compatible vehicle mounts.
