PGYTECH RetroVa 2X Telephoto Grip Kit – Expand Your Photography with 2X Telephoto Lens

PGYTECH RetroVa 2X Telephoto Grip Kit is the perfect solution for filmmakers and photographers using the iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro Max. This complete imaging kit offers physical camera controls, a 2X telephoto lens, and the ability to record directly to a microSD card. With this kit, you gain extended reach and improved control, making it ideal for anyone looking to take their mobile photography to the next level.

Benefits of the 2X Telephoto Lens

The included 2X telephoto lens is constructed with 5 elements in 3 groups, utilizing ultra-low dispersion glass to reduce chromatic aberration at contrast edges. When used on the tele camera, you achieve an equivalent focal length of 200 mm, which can be increased to 400 mm with digital cropping. If you move the lens to the main camera, the focal length becomes 105 mm. The minimum focusing distance is 5.22 meters for the tele camera and 60 centimeters for the main camera, making this lens perfect for distant subjects.

Ergonomic Camera Controls in Hand

The grip features a two-stage shutter: press halfway to focus and press all the way down to take the picture. With the lever, control dial, and multifunction buttons, you can easily adjust focal length and photography settings without needing to touch the screen. The grip connects via Bluetooth and works with the standard camera as well as the PGYTECH Pro Imaging app. The built-in 300 mAh battery has a lifespan of approximately 48 hours and charges in about 1.5 hours with 5V/0.3A.

Sleek Design with MagSafe

The phone case is made of polycarbonate and features a silver edge, a black leather look with lychee grain, and a CNC-machined lens frame. The MagSafe function is fully operational, meaning magnetic accessories and wireless charging work as intended. The base of the grip has a 1/4" 20-thread for tripods and extension poles, making it easy to attach to various types of equipment.

External Recording via microSD

The built-in microSD slot writes directly to a memory card with USB 3.1 speeds of up to 312 MB/s. It is compatible with UHS I and UHS II microSDXC, SDHC, and SD cards formatted as exFAT. Recording occurs in HEVC at up to 120 frames per second, allowing long takes and 4K footage to not need to be stored on the phone.

PGYTECH Pro Imaging App

The included app offers retro filters and a camera interface, giving you manual control over shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. It includes image stabilization tailored for iOS and an AI feature that sharpens blurry images. There is also a separate mode for scene and concert work, making this kit even more versatile.
