Smartphone Filmmaking

Tiffen, the company specialist in lens filters for photographers and filmmakers, has just announced the release of a 58mm filter system for the iPhone. With the Tiffen Smartphone 58mm Filter Mount, you can use the same filters available for still and video cameras, so let’s take a look at it!

Tiffen is a well-known and established American company founded in 1938. Their lens filters are popular among amateurs and professional filmmakers, and it was only a matter of time before we could see big companies like this stepping into the iPhone accessory market. The new Tiffen Smartphone 58mm Filter Mount opens up a world of possibilities to tweak and control the images produced with the iPhone.

A quick look at the Tiffen Smartphone 58mm Filter Mount

The Tiffen Smartphone 58mm Filter Mount is a straightforward accessory, easy to install and attach to the iPhone thanks to Apple’s MagSafe Technology. The mount secures to the back of the iPhone magnetically and is ready to thread on any Tiffen 58mm filter. 

Earlier this year, Tiffen released a set of filters for the DJI OSMO 3 Pocket. On this occasion, instead of releasing specific filters for the iPhone, they decided to release an adapter to use their standard 58mm filters. Aside from the fact that we can now use Tiffen professional filters easily on our iPhone, another advantage is that we can use the same filters as with our 58mm camera lenses. With the mount installed, we can now control our images with neutral density filters, UV protectors, polarizers, Pro-Mist filters to remove the iPhone digital edge, etc. The list of filters is infinite, so you can take a look at Tiffen’s catalog or use the filters you may already have with the 58mm diameter. 

The Tiffen Smartphone 58mm Filter Mount is lightweight (only 0.15 lbs) and made of black anodized aluminum. You can use it with the iPhone 14/15, 14/15 Pro, 14/15 Plus, and 14/15 Pro Max models. For content creators looking for cinematic images, while keeping a small setup, this accessory could be a nice add-on to their kit. 

Price and availability

The Tiffen Smartphone 58mm Filter Mount sells for $29.99, and different kits will also be available. For more information, please visit this link.
