In this video I compared the DOF (depth-of-field) between the built-in iPhone 12 Pro Max lenses with a Moment 58mm telephoto and the Beastgrip DOF MK2 adapter using an 85mm prime lens - and I throw in a surprise traditional camera comparison, too.

Great review and amazing setup..👍🏽
@MathieuTechMoto 2 years ago

Great video, you can definitely see some blue hallows around the top of helmet with the wide lens
@Smartphonematters 2 years ago

A very nice comparison. The comparison to the Black Magic shots really adds some context. I'd love to see some shots with people and motion at some point. Have you used used the BG DOF on any projects outside YouTube yet? Thank you for sharing this video with us.

WOW this was amazing, thank you.

Your videos helped me become a videographer for Stringr News. You thought me the art of B-roll

I needed this video
@agiverreviga4592 2 years ago

What about the close-up lens, you did a video on a while ago? They were also adding depth of field, quite nicely
@ajmhobby 2 years ago

I love shooting with the Moment lenses but from what I saw in your video, the DOF adapter gives you amazing results.
@KaioshinAemi 2 years ago

I have the Moment 58mm Lens but I never put it on my iPhone 12 Pro Max because I never thought of. I’ll give it a try. Focos Live been good so I don’t have to use tele.
@FilmmakersMarketingAcademy 2 years ago

You should have included the beastgrip 3x Tele. Great depth of field.
@boogiecruz2081 2 years ago

Anychance for a test with the ulanzi 2020 dof adapter with iPhone 12 Pro Max for its compatibility? Or should I go with 105mm 3x telephoto or the Kase 165mm but with soft edges. No plan to buy right now as those as very expensive for me right now. But I have the iPhone 11 pro Max and still searching for something that will give a good wide dof. Thanks for the video comparison.

@LouisLuzuka 1 year ago

I’m curious of this on the 14 pro max ❤

@lupo10 2 years ago

I’m half way through so apologises if you do it near the end but would love to see a full size DSLR type fish eye lense over the wide camera.
@markushack2785 4 months ago

It's also the problem to hold the 180° Shutterspeed on the I-Phone.
@j_holtslander 1 year ago

So is that Beastgrip DOF adapter still useful in 2022 with iPhone 14s?
@akshaymate954 2 years ago

DOF adapters are expensive. Please do a video on DIY building tutorial of --> DOF adapter and rig setup for smartphone camera.
