SANDMARC has new gear for the iPhone 16 Pro: Filters, lenses, stability, & more

The iPhone 16 Pro is well and truly here, and if you’re looking for new gear to turn it into a mobile filmmaking monster, SANDMARC has you covered with new accessories, including lenses, filters, a case, and stability.

Let's take a look at each new set of SANDMARC accessories for the iPhone 16 Pro. Some of it is new, some of it exists already and will just work with the new phone given that its form factor hasn’t exactly changed since the iPhone 15 series.

Filters

There are some pretty cool attachable filters that work with the new iPhone 16 Pro, including the vintage style Retro Filter (($100, below), Drama Polarizer (reduces flare), Hybrid ND / PL, Cloud Diffusion (gives a dreamy look), and Motion Variable (light control). Most prices are around the $100 mark.

Filters are important for a variety of reasons, such as practical (Polarizer, ND / Hybrid) and creative (Retro, Cloud Diffusion), so grabbing a set of these isn't a bad idea.

Lenses

SANDMARC features 8 new high quality optical lenses, that include a 6x Telephoto (below) and a Microscope lens. An Anamorphic, 2x Telephoto, Macro, Probe, Fisheye, and Wide lens round things out.

The Anamorphic lens is an obvious choice, but all 8 will give practical and creative options. Many third-party mobile filmmaking apps support lenses like these, so SANDMARC's multi-coated lenses will help delivery cinematic results. (Note: Make sure you check the app developer's page to confirm if it supports lenses like an anamorphic.)

Full Grain Leather Pro Case

While Apple did away with real leather cases, SANDMARC has a ull grain leather Pro Leather Case with a minimalist design. It includes an aluminum lens mount for additional protection and costs $50.

Stability

This is an important one, stability. How can you carry your iPhone to get smooth shots without relying solely on built-in image stabilization? SANDMARC offers a variety of stability gear including the $100 Creator Grip (above) and Film Rig, along with accessories like a lightweight and compact tripod, a wireless Ring Light, and even lights that can be attached.

Conclusion 

There are plenty of great new accessories for the iPhone 16 Pro, whether you're a mobile filmmaker or not. At the very least, the Full Grain Leather Case is a pretty cool option. For me, I'd go with both the Creator Grip for easy carrying and the Film Rig to turn the iPhone into a full-on cinema camera, complete with the SANDMARC Anamorphic Lens, Compact Tripod, and the Wireless Light.
