If you’re looking to up your photo and video content using your iPhone, ShiftCam Gear’s versatile range of lenses, lights and accessories are a great starting point.

First, the S.Mount camera cases are the best option for mounting the LensUltra range (we tested the 60mm telephoto and 10x Traditional Macro). On my iPhone 15 Pro Max, the lenses screwed in seamlessly and both lenses offered amazing clarity and sharpness from subjects ranging from plants and landscapes to people, all thanks to coated fluorite glass.

I especially loved the soft bokeh effect (blurred background), typically reserved for DSLRs, that I was able to achieve with both still and video capture. It upgraded my content, making it look professional.

I also used the universal lens mount with the Pro LED RGBWW Panel ($39.99) for additional lighting. This style of mount can also be clamped onto laptops and tablets. Though lenses come with a cushioned pouch, overall, the small downside is that you’ll probably need to invest in a separate carrying case for all the additional gear.

Also try: SnapGrip Pro ($129.99 CAD) an ergonic MagSafe-compatible mobile grip with wireless charging with Bluetooth shutter. Great for travellers shooting on the go.
