These cages allow you to attach accessories like support handles for smoother camera movements and a dual support handle for a firmer grip on your iPhone 18 Pro Max, especially when filming in challenging environments. The cage features configurable cold shoe mounts for attaching items like LED panels and shotgun microphones for more professional-looking results. The kit includes a remote control unit with a joystick for adjusting zoom and exposure, a physical red shutter button, and two handles for secure attachment. The SmallRig iPhone 18 Pro Max VND Creator Kit retails for $199 / £180 and includes a metal filter backplate with a variable ND filter for capturing videos with improved quality during both day and night shoots.",
