SmallRig 5543 Mobile Video Cage for iPhone 17 Pro Max — Professional Expansion Solution for Video, Streaming, and Short Films

SmallRig 5543 Mobile Video Cage is a specially designed product to maximize the video recording potential of your iPhone 17 Pro Max. It offers a professional and robust solution for filmmakers, vloggers, and livestreamers, enabling the creation of high-quality content regardless of the environment. It also serves as daily protection for your phone, making it a must-have for anyone looking to take their video projects to the next level.

Main Features and Modular Lens Options

The included phone case is equipped with a T-mount backplate and a 17mm threaded lens backplate, making it easy to attach external lenses. This flexibility allows you to customize your setup to suit various recording needs. Additionally, the T-mount backplate can be easily swapped out for a 67mm magnetic filter adapter (sold separately) to further enhance your optical results. This makes SmallRig 5543 a versatile tool for creative filmmakers.

Mounting, Expansion, and Quick Setup

One of the major advantages of this cage is that you can mount your iPhone directly in the cage while it is still in its protective case. This facilitates the transition between handheld and rigged use, which is perfect for quick recordings. The cage is also equipped with multiple 1/4"-20 anti-twist threaded holes and cold shoe mounts, allowing you to easily expand your setup with accessories such as handles, tripods, microphones, and lights. With classic quick-release interfaces, you can quickly switch between handheld use and tripod setups to meet your recording needs.

Straps, Access, and Ergonomics

To provide hands-free comfort between takes, the cage features side-mounted strap holes that are compatible with professional wrist and shoulder straps. These straps can be up to 2 mm in diameter, giving you secure and comfortable use. The cut-out design ensures that you have free access to all essential buttons and ports on your iPhone, including the radar system, ultra-wide-angle lens, and the ability for wireless charging. This allows you to fully utilize your phone even when it is mounted in the cage.

Security, Protection, and Alternative Mounting

With a quick-release mechanism, you can easily and securely mount and dismount your phone, preventing accidental unlocking and ejection during use. The cage's all-metal construction offers superior protection, shock absorption, and scratch resistance for your device, making it perfect for intensive use. If you plan to record underwater or in high-performance environments, you can mount the phone directly in the cage without a case and use it together with the included TPU soft bumper support for extra protection.
