SMALLRIG 5-in-1 Magnetic 67mm Lens Filter Kit, VND+CPL+Black Mist, Filter Set for Phone/Camera Lens - 4726

I bought a new iPhone 17 Pro and so I needed different Smallrig attachments. I love the Smallrig iPhone and camera accessories.

Kit complet et de très bonne qualité

The Magnetic Lens Cover only worked with the smaller lenses, not with the ND filter. This is a bit frustrating, since the ND filter is the one I use most often. I also couldn’t find any place where SmallRig sells a Magnetic Lens Cover that fits the larger lens. The only alternative I’ve been able to find is the Urth 72mm Magnetic Lens Cap.

Tutto perfetto filtri con attacco magnetico comodi

There is not a lot of information about these filters and I could only find limited written reviews. Smallrig has always impressed me for it's value so I decided to try these instead of the Freewell M2 series (around £100 more). I decided 82mm was too big for most of my lenses, and 67mm would suit me better atm - which ruled out the superior Freewell V2 system. In tests these filters produce great looking pictures, the magnets work well, and everything came nicely packaged and presented. Very easy to use. Unfortunately this system has 2 large negatives that may mean I need to return it: 1) The ND filter is larger than 67mm and this stops you being able to use your lens hood... One of the reasons I got a 67mm filter (matching my lens) was to continue being able to use the hood with filters. This is a design failure as it removes a benefit of getting the correct size filter for your lens. Strange decision with no benefit and a major downside. 2) A secondary affect of this decision is the included lens cap does not fit the ND filter... 🤦‍♂️ This is a laughable decision. The ND filter goes on top of the other filters, so it's the one that needs a cap the most! The cap doesn't fit it at all. Really poor design, and quite a let down as you've sold it as having a cap that it doesn't have at all. I've had to use my lens cap instead, which sort of fits, but not in a way that makes me confident. Smallrig should have made it the same size or included 2. Overall it's a shame because the kit is good value for money and looks great, but these 2 flaws are quite odd and make the filters more difficult to use than they should be. I will now consider alternatives that do not have these problems.
