Beastgrip Pro kits out your phone for video (pictures)

Sturdy and substantial

The BG Pro's grip is big and comfortable enough to counterbalance a fairly weighty lens when shooting handheld.

Software

Because the lens images upside-down, you need to use software that can flip it. Or shoot that way.

Many parts

The rig consists of two pieces, and the separate DOF (depth-of-field) Adapter is a few pieces itself.
