 Are you looking for an advanced rig that adds production value to your videos? Well, today I will introduce you to the Beast Cage for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, a perfect companion that will take your mobile videos to the next level. I will show you how to set it up and how you can use it to instantly make better videos. Keep in mind that all products mentioned will be in the video description below. Now, I have done a video in the past talking about the Beast Cage, but for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. If you haven't checked that out, I highly recommend you go watch it as I really go in depth and also gives you a good understanding of how you can use the Beast Cage for professional mobile shoots. I will leave a link in the video description as well. Now, before I show you how to set up the iPhone 13 Pro Max with the Beast Cage, let me explain to you why you should use a rig. The main purpose of using a camera rig is to expand the setup of your camera. The Beast Cage comes with one-quarter screw holes and a culture mount over here. And this allows you to mount it on a tripod and also add different accessories, such as a light or a microphone that will help increase the overall video quality. I've tested out different smartphone rigs in the past and what I like about the Beast Cage is its compatibility. I'm not only able to mount Beast Grip lenses and filters, but also other brands such as the ones from Sandmark that I have as it comes with different mounting plates. Another benefit I see when using the Beast Cage is that it protects the iPhone from damage when it accidentally falls. Now, it also adds weight to the camera and additionally with the grip, I can get even smoother handheld shots. The great part about having a rig is that you can customize it to your liking to fit your shooting needs and it's also extremely easy to set up. Now, let me show you how it's done. On the back of the cage, there is a quick locking cover. By simply pressing the button over here, you can remove the cover within seconds. Then place your iPhone 30 Pro Max inside the cage. You will notice that it fits perfectly. Then put back the cover and close it so that you hear the clicking sound. Select the mount plate needed for the lens you want to attach to the rig. I'll be using the M37 lens mount since I will be attaching Beast Grip's anamorphic lens. Make sure to loosen the screw on the side so that you can insert the plate. This quick release mount system allows me to instantly swap between any lens mount plate or simply use the built-in lens. Depending on how I place the mount plate, I can attach the lens either to the built-in standard wide angle lens or if I turn it around, use it with the telephoto lens. So as you can see, Beast Grip put a lot of thought into this cage. Now make sure to tighten the knob so that the lens won't fall off. I additionally got the grip which I can screw on to the side to better support the camera. And this is how this simple handheld setup would look like with the iPhone 13 Pro Max using the Beast Cage and the anamorphic lens. And yeah, I used this setup during my trip to the Swiss Alps together with my friend Gabriel to capture some cinematic footages. I got some amazing handheld shots with it and also used it with the Zion M3 gimbal. That worked really great. The possibilities to customize the rig are almost endless but for run and gun shooting, this simple setup works great. Now how can you use the Beast Cage to improve your videos? Like I mentioned before, by attaching different accessories, you can get much more out of your videos. When filming a talking head video, for example, you can attach a microphone using the Colchoo mount to instantly get better audio quality instead of using the internal mic. Also when shooting in low light conditions, having additional light to brighten up your face will make your talking head video look much better. So this is how it looks like using the Beast Cage with different accessories attached on it. I have the Shaka mic and I have a small LED light. Let's now compare it using just the iPhone without additional accessories attached. So this is how it would look like using just the iPhone. You're listening to the internal mic right now. I'm only using natural light without additional light and you will probably notice that my face is a bit darker than before but I find having a microphone and a light will definitely improve your video quality overall. So the Beast Cage for the iPhone 30 Pro Max costs around $150. Now if you're starting out, there are certainly cheaper options such as the Ulanzi U-Rig Pro for around $30. That will do the job but if you're looking for a more professional setup where you want to have full customization freedom, the Beast Cage allows you to do that plus with the option to add different lenses makes this rig more cost effective. It also gives a professional impression to the client and if you make money shooting videos with your iPhone then this is a great return in investment.
