Photography Bumper + Vari ND
I bought two products: (1)Photography Bumper Phone Case and (2)Magnetic 67mm VND Filter. The overall impression is that the Smallrig never uses these products themselves, nor has it ever studied the competition. Both factors prevent them from producing a quality products. Bumper! Let's start with the pros: the price is affordable, the outer material is a pleasant, flexible plastic, relatively slippery, making it easy to put in a pants pocket. The back cover is also open, which is great, allowing for more cooling, and a pleasant tactile sensation when using the iPhone, allowing you to use additional accessories. Next, the cons: - Overall, this bumper case is not suitable for work or everyday use. - There is no interior trim, even minimally, so your smartphone's body will become worn and scratched over time. I don't recommend wearing it on a regular basis. - On the display side, the edges are flush with the screen, which doesn't protect the screen at all, even if dropped, even when simply "placing it on a table." Although it could have been 1-2 mm thicker, the bumper could have provided some protection for the screen. - The camera module, the frame around it is metal, which is generally pointless; it's just another way to scratch any of your belongings if they come into contact with it. If you accidentally hit your MacBook with this bumper, there will be a scratch. Yes, there's a cover for the camera module, also metal, so you have to close it very carefully. Incidentally, it's already loose and clicks when touched, which is annoying when the product arrives in poor condition. - The filter module is also inconvenient and impractical; you have to be extremely careful when putting it on to avoid scratching the smartphone body and the camera module. It looks very ugly and is impractical. Filter! The filter itself, unfortunately, has no advantages: It's too big even for the iPhone Pro Max. Apparently, they didn't want to make a custom filter and used what was available. They could have used a 49mm diameter filter, but no, they only needed a 67mm one. The filter is threaded, although it's attached magnetically. Unfortunately, the magnet doesn't hold well enough; the filter simply spins when you rotate it. The whole point of the VND is that you can rotate it when you need to.
