Top iPhone Accessories For Mobile Photographers

Here’s what’s actually worth carrying if you shoot stills and video on iPhone — not a wishlist of every MagSafe gadget online. These five picks cover the kit that shows up on real jobs and field tests: a case that accepts the rest of the system, QuickLock filters, MagSafe mounts, a small sling, and attachable lenses. Criteria were simple — does it earn bag space, and do Moment writers (or partners) use it outside a product page? Where a Journal review already said it better, that line is quoted and linked.

#1 Moment Camera Cases

Moment camera cases keep protection thin so MagSafe still works and you can add filters, mounts, and lenses when a shoot needs them. A drop-in lens mount turns the same case into a mobile camera rig without swapping shells. Colorways stay muted so the phone disappears into a kit. As Carlie Penning wrote in iPhone 17 Camera Case Field Test: The Only Case I Use: “This case rarely comes off the phone; I often forget what color my iPhone itself is.”

Brand: Moment

Product Type: Phone Cases

Best For: Creators who want a slim daily case that still accepts Moment filters, mounts, and lenses.

#2 QuickLock Filters

QuickLock filters latch over phone lenses with a button mechanism so the glass stays put and you can swap looks without fighting threads. CineBloom, VND, CPL, and CineFlare cover diffusion, exposure control, glare cut, and streak effects — still thin enough for a pocket. The adapter is cut to keep the mics clear and limit ultra-wide vignette (VND can still vignette). Personally, I attach a filter and leave it on all day when I’m moving between setups. As Davey Gravey noted in How Moment QuickLock Filters Work (And Why You Need Them): the filters “have completely changed the way I view shooting on mobile.”

Brand: Moment

Product Type: Mobile Filters

Best For: Photographers and filmmakers who want manual look control on phone without a bulky filter stack.

#3 MagSafe Mounts

MagSafe mounts cover cages, tripods, and everyday holders so the phone snaps onto a support instead of living in a clamp. Setup gets faster when you jump from handheld to locked-off, and the same magnetic base works across MagForce accessories. Keep the pick if you already shoot MagSafe — it’s about cutting friction on set, not collecting more hardware.

Brand: Moment

Product Type: Phone Mounts

Best For: Mobile shooters who switch between handheld and locked-off setups and want MagSafe speed.

#4 Moment Everything Sling 2L

The Everything Sling 2L stays small next to most camera bags, which is why it earns a spot on a mobile kit list. Wear it cross-body or as a hip pack, keep rain off the contents, and still move through a city day without a full backpack. The front pocket fits current iPhones; the main pocket takes denser kit (or a compact film camera). In The Moment Everything Sling 2L and 4L Review, the writer called the 2L design worth rotating into regular use — for phone, filters, and a spare battery, that footprint is the point.

Brand: Moment

Product Type: Camera Bags

Best For: Short city runs, coffee hangs, and light day trips where a full camera backpack is overkill.

#5 Mobile Lenses

Attachable Moment lenses cover looks the phone glass can’t — from a Fisheye 14mm to a 1.55× Anamorphic — once you have a compatible case and mount. Mix focal lengths by project instead of swapping phones. Field pieces on the Fisheye 14mm and 1.55× Anamorphic dig into flare, distortion, and shooting tips; this list is the kit overview, those reviews are where the optical specifics live.

Brand: Moment

Product Type: Mobile Lenses

Best For: Photographers and filmmakers who already use a Moment case and want optical looks beyond the built-in cameras.

Wrap-up

That’s the short list. If you’re building a mobile kit, start with the case and filters, then add mounts, a sling, and glass as the work demands it. Related reading: How Moment QuickLock Filters Work, iPhone 17 Camera Case Field Test, and Moment 1.55× Mobile Anamorphic Lens Review.
