Top 10 Mobile Filmmaking Accessories

1. VND Quick-Lock Filters

For Cinema-Level Looking Motion

These best-selling filters are truly a community favorite. You don't have the clunky look of a large filter ring at the forefront of your phone, but you still get that cinematic-looking footage straight out of the camera. A VND promises your shots are always correctly exposed, regardless of how bright it is outside, especially when paired with the manual settings you'd set on the Moment Pro Camera App.

It's worth noting that the filters with Quick-Lock technology are only compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro series. If you have an older device, try the 67mm filter ring paired with a 67mm filter mount. Both filter styles capture that VND experience you'd normally get on a big camera, just now in the palm of your hand.

Key Features:

• It comes in multiple hard-stop ranges to prevent cross-polarizing in various strengths.
• The QuickLock attachment mechanism is super easy and has a low profile, so it's not clunky. You don't have to remove it if you don't want to.

Why We Like It:

VND filters allow filmmakers to control motion blur and exposure settings in real-time during shoots without relying on editing the brightness or shutter speeds in post-production.

2. Moment 1.33x Anamorphic Lens

For That Anamorphic-Look

The Mobile 1.33x Anamorphic Lens is the quickest and most cost-effective way to get that Hollywood look on your phone, equipped with true black bars and horizontal flares. You can go 1.33x or 1.55x and opt for tierh sci-fi blue flare or a warm, vintage gold flare

Now, obviously, we're slightly biased, but our mobile lenses are genuinely the key to more creative POVs. The fan-favorite Anamorphic lens adds cinematic spice to your shots made from real glass and no AI fakeness. Pair the wide-screen ratio with manual exposure controls you'd find on the Moment Pro Camera App (like shutter speed or histograms) and you have a device that rivals the big rigs.

If you need more technical details, read this article on how our mobile lenses (both M-Series & T-Series) work with the latest flagship camera phones. And if you want a field test on the Anamorphic 1.33x, check out this YouTube video for awesome sample footage, or read this creator's written review.

Specifications:

• Compatibility: iPhone, Pixel, and Samsung Phones
• Magnification Ratio: 1.33x Horizontal Squeeze
• Aspect Ratio (Video): 2.40:1 Cinemascope (after de-squeeze)
• Distortion: Vintage Anamorphic barrel-type distortion
• Later Color: Minimized
• Design: 2 cylindrical elements

Key Features:

• Attaches to a drop-in lens mount for your phone.
• Real glass, no AI or fake photoshopping.
• Hand-crafted with precision.

Why We Like It:

Our phone's camera lens can only capture so much. These lenses are easy to attach to your phone and offer way more unique focal lengths with higher-quality results (if you attach the lens over the phone's standard 1x lens, you get a wider aperture, which is ultimately better quality).

3. DJI Mic Mini

For Good Audio Recording

If you're shooting video, you need a good microphone. The DJI Wireless Mic Mini is a knockout: easy to use, super small, yet packs the best punch for a compact microphone I've ever heard, even more so than what's available from the JOBY or RODE best-sellers.

It’s almost too easy to use, meaning anyone can pick one up and start sounding better (a good thing). It’s flexible enough to work with mobile rigs and full-blown camera systems, and its pocket-friendly profile makes it a no-brainer for creators shooting interviews on the streets. You can pick and choose how you want to buy it: either grab a single transmitter and receiver or go all-in with the full kit that includes two mics (with magnets), a receiver, a charging case, and a pair of wind muffs.

It’s worth buying the whole package so you don’t have to keep checking out additional accessories. Connecting to your phone or camera is just as versatile, whether you use USB-C, Lightning, or a 3.5mm jack.

Key Features:

• 400-meter range
• Works with both smartphones and big cameras
• Noise-cancelling capabilities
• 48-hour battery life
• NO internal recording or external lav support

Why We Like It:

It's the best all-in-one small microphone you can get that works with both your smartphone and camera; the highest-quality option on the market that does it all.

4. Moment SuperCage

For the Ultimate Rig

This is the dream mobile rig, baby. Configure your iPhone filmmaking setup how you want it in one easy setup.

Forget the bulk laptop cables and add-ons; the Moment SuperCage has a USB-C hub built into the metal, balanced with connections optimized for high-demand accessories and fast speeds. This is the coolest feature of this kind of product.

It can carry all you need; it has one continuous open rail profile with NATO compatibility on the sides and a top with Arca on the base. It also includes dozens of additional mounting points: (4) x 3/8”-16 threads, (4) x cold-shoe mounts, and (39) x 1/4”-20 threads.

Specifications:

• Built with Aluminum Alloy, allowing for a low profile with a tough AF exterior.
• Works with any MagSafe-compatible iPhone

Key Features:

• USB-C hub gives you added ports, storage, and mic options
• Built-in cable routing

• Stands upright when set down on a flat surface

Why We Like It:

It's like a gimbal and a cage all in one. The attachment points and cable management system stabilize your shooting experience, no matter the weight you put on it.

5. Tele 58mm Lens

For Portraiture, Interviews, & Landscapes

The Tele 58mm mobile lens is Moment’s #1 best-selling lens. It lets you capture shots twice as close as your phone’s normal lens, with greater clarity and that delicious bokeh reminiscent of a larger telephoto. When you place it over your phone’s standard 1x camera, you get a bigger, cleaner, wider aperture that lends more dynamic range.

The updated T-Series design delivers a dreamy softness while keeping crisp detail, no unwanted vignetting around the edges. It also features a super high-quality, rugged build that feels ultra premium.

With its telephoto reach and creamy look, it’s a great addition to your camera bag for mobile shoots showcasing people or landscapes. You can get closer, crop in for that compressed shot, and capture a more expansive composition than you otherwise could.

Specifications:

• Weight: 116.5g
• Diameter: 49mm
• Depth: 33.4mm
• Magnification: 2x

Key Features:

This lens doubles your focal length, getting you closer for tighter, crispier shots without digital zoom. It's also optimized for multi-lens iPhones, Samsungs, and Pixels.

Why We Like It:

You get that compressed look with a buttery bokeh similar to your favorite mirrorless cameras; it's real glass with digital zoom, allowing for the highest quality shots.

6. Moment Tripod Mount

For Mounting on Tripods or Handles

TheMoment Pro Tripod Mount works with any standard 1/4”-20 tripod or handle holes. It allows you to shoot with your phone in either landscape or portrait orientation without a phone clamp. Compatible with or without a case, this Pro Tripod mount's MagSafe capabilities are insanely strong, giving you utter confidence that the phone won't fall off when you're shooting in the field.

We like to pair the mount to the JOBY GorillaPod or even the larger rigs that we already own for your bigger cameras, like the Peak Design Travel Tripod.

Key Features:

• Clamp-free, easy to pack or take anywhere
• Works with or without a phone case
• Mounts to ANY standard tripod or handle
• Makes mobile shooting even more fun and versatile (vlogs, selfies, etc.)
• The Pro Version shoots both horizontally and vertically

Why We Like It:

Its versatile MagSafe compatibility and universal 1/4”-20 opening allow you to attach to anything for easy mobile shooting. Plus, the extra-small size means you can bring it anywhere.

7. MC RGB On-Camera LED Light

For Colorful, Dimmable Light Sources

This is my favorite light in the camrea bag, and while it works great for my bigger cameras, it's also perfect for the iPhone when screwed on top of the Moment SuperCage.

It has full Hue, Saturation, and Intensity (HSI) controls, allowing me to dial in the perfect shade and intensity with 360° hue control; some scenes require more intense lighting than others, so the ability to dim the source is key. The box includes two extra white LEDs — one for tungsten and another for daylight settings — which makes it useful for any shoot I'm on. It also features nine built-in lighting effects, a great tool for super creative shoots.

Specs:

• Color Temperatuer: 3200 to 6500K
• Color Accuracy Standard: CRI 96 I TLCI 97
• Dimming: Yes
• Capacity: 2600 mAh
• Battery Run Time: 2 to 15 Hours

Key Features:

• Connect to the Sidus Link app if you need more control over your lighting effects
• 9 built-in lighting effects presets
• Built-in magnets and a 1-4″-20 female screw mount allow you to place and use it anywhere in seconds.
• Compatible with the Qi wireless charging

Why We Like It:

The portability of this RGB panel is perfect for on-the-go shoots, especially for tighter shots where you only need a small spotlight (it also works amazingly in super dark spaces for how small it is).

8. DJI Osmo Mobile 7P

For Stabilization

DJI is back on our list with its sleek new smartphone gimbal, the Osmo Mobile 7P. Designed to be your go-to grab-and-go tool for capturing life as it happens, this lightweight and foldable stabilizer is packed with smart features that make it accessible for anyone (even your grandma… probably).

The “P” in 7P stands for “Pro,” and it earns the name with refined controls and upgraded tools you won’t find in the base Osmo Mobile 7. It includes a modular tracking unit, a built-in tripod, and a collapsible extension rod that lets you pull off wide-angle shots and creative camera moves. DJI also added a tactile side wheel for smooth manual control of lighting, focus, or zoom — all within reach of your thumb. And despite the added tech, the 7P stays compact enough to toss in your everyday bag.

With a price tag of $149 (compared to $89 for the standard model), the 7P is clearly aimed at creators who want a little more control without losing portability.

Specifications:

• Bottom Port: 1/4" Screw Hole
• Battery Life: Up to 10 Hours
• Payload Capacity: Up to 150-300 Grams
• Compatibility: iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Series
• Phone Charging: Supported

Key Features:

• Lock onto subjects without needing DJI’s Mimo app — ideal for livestreaming or shooting with native camera apps.
• Includes a built-in receiver that pairs with the DJI Mic Mini for crystal-clear audio.
• Adjustable brightness and color temperature help you shoot in low-light settings without extra gear.
• Trigger tracking, capture, and framing using simple hand motions — no button pressing required.

Why We Like It:

Mobile filmmakers need stability, and run-and-gun shooting styles require some support to make the footage look nicer. This gimbal is it.

9. 20% CineBloom QuickLock Filter

For a Dreamy, Stylized Look

A diffusion filter is perfect for those soft, dreamy, hazy effects. It takes the clinical edge off your footage while keeping the important details intact. The 20% CineBloom strength is crafted for a stronger bloom effect on direct light sources — ideal for neon nights or those nostalgic, dreamy portraits. We’ve built our best-selling CineBloom filter with a QuickLock mechanism for mobile devices, making it super easy to shoot video thanks to its low-profile design and nearly invisible interface.

Check out Davey's YouTube video on the QuickLock filters for more inspiration.

Key Features:

• Tailored specifically to the iPhone 15 or 16 Pro.
• Premium glass that enhances yoru phone's camera, not takes away from it.
• Comes in a 10% strength if you're wanting something less intense

Why We Like It:

Everyone should have a fun, stylized tool in their video toolkit. The CineBloom filter makes every clip cinematic and less “sharp,” leaning into an analog vibe. It even softens skin tones and blooms any harsh backlight.

10. Everything Sling 4L

For Carrying the Goods

Slings are where it’s at — you need a solid bag that’s large enough to carry what you need yet compact enough to bring anywhere. The 4L size of Moment’s Everything Sling is just about perfect for quick captures on the street or for organizing accessories you can grab on the fly. Toss in a 35mm film camera while you’re at it, so you can snap pictures on a video shoot, too. It's seven adjustment points let it expand or cinch down as needed, especially when wearing extra layers, and the double-waterproof coating gives me confidence it won’t get destroyed in a rainstorm.

Specs:

• Material: Weatherproof recycled Korda with a double-layer waterproof coating.
• Dimensions: 10.25” W x 5.25” H x 1.6” D
• Capacity: 4L

Key Features:

• Worn over the shoulder or on the hips.
• Microfiber-lined pocket for sunglasses or filters.
• Adjustable strap and pack wings to fit your body.
• Retractable camera lens wipe.
• Integrated clip for keys.

Why We Like It:

It's cute; it carries everything I need and a great after-shoot purse to take with me for a beer. If you know, you know.
