The 3.5x Telephoto Lens Kit for iPhone 18 Pro Max and 17 Pro Max from SmallRig is an iPhone imaging kit designed for long-distance shooting scenarios including concerts and sport events. The 3.5x telephoto lens brings distant stage and sports scenes closer for easier viewing and shooting. The smartphone case provides a custom fit for your iPhone 18 Pro Max or 17 Pro Max and has a quick release design for fast and secure attachment. A dedicated shooting handle adds stability plus a physical shutter button and zoom lever to provide precise, smooth control when shooting. The shooting handle has a built-in power supply that powers the control module and also supports emergency phone charging, so you can extend your shooting time and stay ready for key moments.
- Use this lens with the smartphone telephoto camera only.
- Do not use it with the main camera or wide camera.
- It can only be used effectively with phones using 4x or 8x telephoto.
- For optimal performance, use a third-party camera app that supports manual activation or locking of the telephoto camera including Lightroom, Indigo, Blackmagic Camera, Fotorgear, or ProCam.
- When using the iPhone's built-in Camera app, turn off Macro Control (14mm lens).
- 26.25' minimum focusing distance - if the subject is closer than that, the phone may switch to the main camera, which can cause severe vignetting.
- Before using the wireless remote controller make sure Zoom Region is set to Full Screen Zoom, then turn Zoom on. After it is enabled, the screen will appear magnified.
- By default, the controller adjusts EV in landscape mode.
- To switch to portrait EV adjustment mode, press and hold the EV button.
