Transform Your Smartphone into a Professional Filmmaking Rig
The Rode Phone Cage Magnetic Mobile Filmmaking Cage in Black is a premium accessory designed to elevate smartphone videography for content creators, vloggers, and filmmakers across Australia. Featuring a MagSafe-compatible magnetic mounting system, multiple accessory mounting points, and a rugged yet lightweight aluminum construction, it transforms your smartphone into a professional-grade filmmaking rig. Ideal for capturing high-quality video with professional audio and lighting, it’s perfect for YouTube, TikTok, interviews, and mobile production.
Versatile Mounting and Compatibility
The Rode Phone Cage is compatible with MagSafe iPhones (e.g., iPhone 12–16 series) and other smartphones with MagSafe-compatible cases or accessories, using a powerful magnetic mounting disc for secure, snap-on attachment. It features five cold shoe mounts for attaching microphones (e.g., Rode VideoMic series), lights, or other accessories, and 33 mounting threads (14 standard 1/4-inch, 17 ARRI 1/4-inch, 2 3/8-inch) for tripods, handles, and boompoles. Integrated cable management slots keep setups tidy, with four slots to secure microphone or power cables. The cage supports both portrait and landscape orientations, offering flexibility for social media or cinematic shooting. Users praise its versatility, with reviews noting easy accessory integration, though some mention the magnetic mount may not hold heavier phones securely without a MagSafe case. The included locking screw enhances stability for non-MagSafe devices.
Durable and Lightweight Design
Crafted in Rode’s Sydney, Australia facilities, the Phone Cage is constructed from high-grade aluminum, weighing 285 g for a balance of durability and portability. Measuring 245 mm L x 35.5 mm W x 126 mm H, it’s ergonomic for handheld use and stable for tripod setups. The rugged frame minimizes shake, ensuring steady footage, while its sleek black finish complements professional rigs. Compatible with accessories like the Rode Wireless ME, VideoMic GO II, and Wireless PRO, it’s designed for creators seeking pristine audio and lighting. Users appreciate its lightweight build for run-and-gun shooting, though some suggest a carrying case (not included) for protection. Backed by a 1-year warranty (extendable with registration at rodemic.com), it’s built for reliability in studio or field environments.
