Phone Cage Kit

The metal cage surrounds the phone with a rigid frame that protects it during shooting while providing threaded mounting points for lights, microphones, and other accessories — the structural foundation that turns a bare phone into a proper production tool, and that holds every component in a fixed position relative to the lens so that lighting and audio remain consistent from shot to shot without needing to be repositioned between takes.

Two fill lights mount to the cage on either side of the phone, providing balanced illumination that eliminates the single-source shadows that a ring light or a window creates on one side of the face — the dual-light setup that produces the even, flattering light quality associated with professional video production, and that works in any room regardless of ambient lighting conditions or time of day.

The included microphone mounts directly to the cage and connects to the phone, capturing directional audio that the built-in phone microphone cannot match in noisy environments or at distance from the subject — the audio upgrade that makes the difference between a video that viewers watch and one they abandon because the sound is unclear, without needing to synchronise a separate audio recorder in post-production.

The two handles give a firm two-handed grip on the cage during handheld shooting, distributing the weight of the phone and accessories evenly and reducing the micro-movements that cause camera shake in single-handed or bare-phone shooting — the stability that makes the difference between footage that looks considered and footage that looks improvised, without requiring a gimbal or a stabiliser as an additional purchase.

The desktop tripod holds the full cage assembly at a fixed height and angle on a desk, table, or shelf, freeing both hands for presenting, demonstrating, or operating other equipment — the stable base that removes camera shake from handheld shooting and allows the same framing to be repeated across multiple takes or sessions without re-establishing the shot each time.
