This is a camera accessory for any smartphone, not just the iPhone. The adjustability is what I love about the Beastgrip but there is one limitation that may bother some people when compared to a similar product from iOgrapher. For my Beastgrip Pro review, I haven’t come up with a scoring system for this type of accessory and I can’t even use the scoring system I have for the iOgrapher because the Beastgrip isn’t really a case. But I can tell you that going forward, this is going to be one of my goto camera accessories for any smart phone footage I’m shooting for the foreseeable future. If you need more info, check out website and if you’re planning on getting anything in this video, consider getting it through my site to show your support! The design of the Beastgrip is impressive. Impressive in sense that there are lots of knobs and it looks rather menacing at first. The multitude of knobs means that you can fit ANY smartphone with a case into the Beastgrip. All the menacing knobs that you see are used to adjust the frame which is awesome as I can easily switch between an S7, S7 Edge or and iPhone 6 variant depending on which devices is free. The Beastgrip is essentially two parts that can be removed. Fitting a device is quite straightforward as you adjust the main clamp based on the width of your device. If you have a camera with a protruding camera, you can move the lens portion forward so that device sits flush in the main clamp. The last thing you want to do is to adjust the lens so that the camera sits in the middle of the crosshairs. The entire Beastgrip setup is quite rigid and doesn’t feel as flimsy as the iOgrapher when fully loaded. I said in the intro that I was going to use this in the foreseeable future because the Beastgrip is most likely going to be able to fit the iPhone 7, the Note 6 or 7 and the S8’s or whatever device I decide to review in the next couple of years. That’s awesome in my opinion. However, there are two annoyances with the design. The first is the bulk of the entire setup. It’s big and unwieldy which is unlike the iOgrapher which is incredibly slim. The second annoyance is the fact that the device isn’t secured 100% of the time. A slight bump may misalign the camera and lens so you need to check the corners of your video every time you shoot video. Mounting the Beastgrip onto a tripod is easily accomplished through the multitude of 1/4 inch mounts found on the frame and there is a cold shoe mount that allows you to mount a mic easily or lights. The optional wide lens that you can get from Beastgrip does increase the FOV of your device by 0.43 which is slightly larger than the FOV of the wide angle lens included with the iOgrapher. From a quality perspective, shooting video with the two devices doesn’t show any noticeable change in the quality of the video footage other than the obvious superior camera of the S7 over the old iPhone 6. Comparing footage caught on the same iPhone 6 didn’t yield any noticeable difference either other than the slightly wider FOV of the wide angle lens of the Beastgrip lens. Footage around the edges were both slightly blurry but from my perspective, one wasn’t blurrier than the other. The Beastgrip isn’t a drop-rated accessory though if an accident was to happen, I’d be pretty confident that nothing would happen to the device. In general, the Beastgrip offers more protection for your device because you can fit the a device with a case and screen protector which is something you can’t do with the iOgrapher. The Beastgrip Pro is a little more awkward when it comes to handling. The Beastgrip is the superior accessory if you’re planning on shooting video mounted to a tripod. That works great for me because all my product shots and narrative shots are shot with a tripod. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to stay in the loop!
