I'm Michael Tobin, what's going on everybody welcome back to another video and today is
an awesome day because the beast cages for iphone 12 are finally here and we're going to talk about
why this is the best cage if you have an iphone and you like to take videos or photos with it
now right before we get into the meat of things today i just want to say if you're not subscribed
i got some really cool videos coming uh and you may not want to miss them so go ahead just
real quick hit the subscribe button and if you hate this video by the end of it feel free to
unsubscribe but i appreciate the support let's get to it for those of you who are not strangers
to this channel then you know that for the past i don't know a handful of months or so i've
been using uh this guy this is the beastgrip pro and it's essentially a great universal cage for
pretty much any smartphone uh to be able to put it in here and attach a bunch of accessories or just
have a better grip while filming with your phone you got hot shoe mounts quarter twenties uh you
can rig it up change the sizing everything right whereas here you have the uh beast cage pro which
i should probably break this down for how it comes this has some extra accessories on it uh these
handles that you see here these are all optional on this side just one second same top handle
also got the awesome new uh 155x anamorphic lens on there you can check all this stuff down in
the description down below if you want to check them out and of course we're going to show some
sample footage don't you worry all right so this is basically what the cage looks like uh if you
pick it up so you can see you got the front of the phone and you have the back here now this is not
your daily driver of a phone case now i don't think anyone is going to put their phone in this
and walk around with it all day although you could and i guess if you're in like construction work or
you're a type person who really drops your phone all the time this would be a great option for you
because it is just solid metal now along those lines i will point out my one um kind of wish
was that the back is fully exposed so there's no cover on this i'm actually touching the back
of my phone right now if it landed on a flat surface then it's gonna be totally fine but if
something went like this then it's going straight on the back your phone so i wish there was like
an optional plate that you could insert like right here so that the phone was
fully enclosed obviously the front needs to be exposed because you guys see your screen
so a little feedback for a b script now beyond the build quality you have a ton of mounting
points basically quarter 20s all across the top bottom sides whatever you want to call it
you also have this little knob up here which is going to control the many different camera mounts
that you have so it comes defaulted with the lens mount for the main sensor lens but it easily
unfolds and you can grab it comes with a bunch of these that allow you to kind of
attach it to different ones so i can flip this one around and get the ultra wide or
telephoto i think that's the ultrawide and then there's another option to get the other lenses
but again all this is this you can hear it it's solid metal and to install it you literally just
slide it back in there and maybe don't hold it at a downward angle just slide in there
tighten this back down boom solid now to get the phone out is also super easy
there's this little notch up here you basically put pressure to pull that down and then there's
a little tab right here that you just lift forward and then these bottom are kind of
hooked in you can see that slide out now this piece is off and you can literally just push
on the back now your phone's out now there's a bunch of padding on the insides of the case as
well as on the back side of this so you don't have any worries about scratching up your phone
that's a huge plus for me because i'm just really petty about that sort of thing obviously since
it's made for this specific phone this is the 12 pro max version uh but they have one for
the 12 mini the regular 12 the 12 pro and it's obviously machined to fit the phone perfectly you
literally just push your phone in there put this back on and then a really satisfying
click to let you know that it is safe and secure another attention to detail that i really enjoy
here is the fact that the buttons are one still accessible and two actually really functional
a lot of cases like this when they get really thick you start to get really mushy buttons
or you have to press really hard down and for these i don't know if you can hear it
it's a really clicky like it's just as satisfying as the actual phone click on the side so the
buttons are really nice and yes i get this question a lot is the sensors at the top are not
covered so face id and everything fully works you don't have to worry about that whatsoever and they
did such a good job at kind of getting the curve of the screen perfectly again a lot of cases like
this that get kind of bulkier and thicker i find myself having issues kind of swiping up to leave
an app or accessing different parts of the screen to pull down do different things and here you just
never have that issue so even if i'm in the beast cam app doing my thing filming a bunch of cool
stuff i have no problem going in and leaving the app and swiping on the side so you're not having
to like get your fingernail like in the crevice of the case it's just it's a really functional case
so now let's talk about the camera functionality so these mounts are the same as the ones on the
universal cage just so you guys are aware in case you have this one but if you don't already
know this works with all b script lenses like uh let's say i have the anamorphic i have the wide
angle the telephoto the two times conversion one the dof adapter and so on but it also works with
other branded lenses as well so if you are a moment user you can get one of these cases
throw your moment lens on there and you're good to go and a bunch of other brands that i haven't
really heard of you can check them out in the description below but honestly i think that's
kind of awesome that you can have another brand of lens but if you want the better quality case you
can throw this on there and so to test this out i went over to my friend james's house from stauffer
garage should check him out on the link in the description he's like 20 times bigger than me so
you know i don't know how much of a shout out it is but he's an awesome guy you should go check him
out and he just picked up this new mercedes and so i was like hey why not shoot some cool shots of
this and it was so nice and easy filming cars can be really difficult especially when you're using
big rigs like the one i'm filming on now my pocket 6k all rigged up especially when you get to the
interiors it's just really cumbersome to sit in there and the iphone 12 pro max's camera is
so good that i just want to be able to throw on a bunch of different lenses so i tested out some
anamorphic shots as well as for the interiors i was using the kenko wide-angle lens from b-script
and the shots just came out wonderfully you guys know that i hound on phone cameras having kind of
crappier versions of sensors within itself so the main sensor is awesome the ultra wide is great in
like perfect daylight but car interior it's going to get a little darker in there pretty noisy
and so the fact that i was able to use the main sensor and just throw on the wide angle uh lens on
the beast grip cage here was incredibly helpful and kept the quality consistent i also hopped on
my electric skateboard and got some cool car following shots and i was holding this thing
sometimes inches above ground and as someone who doesn't want to even scrape up their phone
let alone completely destroy it i have never felt more confident going like nearly 20 miles an hour
on a skateboard while holding my phone out inches above the ground and going back to what i said in
the beginning this thing is littered with quarter 20 mounts unfortunately i couldn't get my hands on
in time like a car mount suction cups or magnets and all that stuff but you could easily rig this
for really creative shots that would be really difficult on bigger camera setups like getting a
big suction cup to put on the hood or the side of a car and just kind of connecting this on a couple
different points and getting really really cool angles and again if it happened to fly off the car
and take a couple tumbles in the street that'd be some really interesting shots if you guys really
want to see that let me know this video gets like 100 000 views i will create a car commercial and
mount this to a bunch of cars so give this video a thumbs up if you really want to see me hopefully
not destroy but put this in very dangerous situations and like i had on in the beginning
these are the kind of universal handles from beastgrip and so i can attach these real quick
so you guys can see like i said these are all optional too so if you only want to pick up one
you can do that and they're all kind of separate pieces this is both a side handle and a top handle
and they just use standard nato rails so if you have other nato accessories you could totally
mount that i think i also forgot to mention of course you have access to your charging port
and speakers on the bottom there and i'm sure someone's going to ask this about the charging
port the case is fully flush to the cable so if you have thicker lightning chargers it's
still going to have no issues i know a lot of cases have the charging port kind of recessed
into the case and that's super annoying for thick charging cables so just great design all around in
full disclosure yes bscrip is a major supporter of this channel they sponsored this video and plenty
others i wasn't even gonna like say something like this but they're like a dream company for
any creator because they basically just say hey we like what you do we like supporting you
and just go make some cool content with our stuff they don't see this video before you
guys they don't give any creative input they don't tell me what to say what not to say
they just trust in their products and now so do i that's why i keep showing them to you guys
that's why i keep recommending them because months later i've tried literally like every
single b-script product that they have and they're all just phenomenal build quality and
just all around really good products by the way all the footage you saw today was
filmed on the beast cam app it actually recently had a huge update to support
uh 10-bit hdr recording so now you can actually have a third-party pro app
beyond the stock camera app to get 10 bit hdr as well as the higher bit rates that you can shoot
in and then of course all the pro controls that the beast cam app gives you you can check all
this out in the description down below lastly i feel like this is a good place to show this
uh i've had this iphone 11 pro version since we first started working together and i showed it off
in the first video back during holiday times and it's kind of just been saying on my shelf because
i don't have an iphone 11 pro so if any of you guys have an iphone 11 pro and want this um and
probably in the us because international shipping would be crazy but yeah i'll give this away to
one of you guys uh just let me know down in the comments below and i'll just pick someone randomly
and yeah you can have this thanks so much for watching and i'll see you guys in the next video
you
