About Prorig Portebla Rigo

Prorig estas portebla rigo por saĝtelefona fotado kaj filmkreado. La rigo estas farita el reciklita aluminio kun TPU-bufroj atestitaj laŭ GRS. Maldika ekspansia kadro kun malfermita dorso tenas alireblaj la magnetan akcesoran fiksadon, la konektilojn kaj la regilojn. Interŝanĝebla enmetaĵo enklakiĝas por teni vastan gamon da telefonmodeloj, do ĝisdatigi telefonon postulas ŝanĝi nur la enmetaĵon. Rapide malfikseblaj teniloj alfiksiĝas ĉe iu ajn angulo por rapidaj ŝanĝoj inter vertikala kaj horizontala filmado. Normaj muntpunktoj kaj lensmuntilo ebligas akcesoraĵojn sen iloj.

Production Technology
Built from recycled aluminum with GRS-certified TPU bumpers. The slim expansion frame uses an open-back design to preserve MagSafe and keep ports/controls accessible. A simple click-in fit secures a wide range of phone sizes and models for fast setup and stable handheld shooting. Standard mount points and a dedicated lens mount are integrated into the frame for tool-free, modular add-ons without bulk.
Design Challenge
The hardest challenge was creating a clean, minimalist rig without limiting how people shoot or where accessories go. The handle connection had to be strong but non-intrusive, attach to any corner for fast vertical/horizontal swaps, and still leave space for lights, mics, lenses, and cables/SSDs. At the same time, the frame had to stay slim, MagSafe-clear, and universal across phone models. We solved it through rapid prototypes and a radical redesign to a cleaner, more capable version.
Research
We developed ProRig through iterative prototyping and usability testing to reach the most minimalist, universal rig that still rigs up fast, preserves MagSafe, keeps the phone bottom clear for cables/SSDs, and supports both vertical and horizontal shooting. We worked with a focus group to uncover real pain points, then made a radical design shift and validated it through shooting trials and accessory checks with creators and our in-house team. The result is a cleaner workflow with freer angles and less clutter.
Inspiration
Phones are sleek, minimal, and capable– rigging should be too. ProRig evolves film cages into a cleaner, phone-first system: a universal, upgrade-proof rig that mounts accessories, preserves MagSafe, and rigs up fast without bulk. Traditional cages lock creators into one orientation and restrict angles. ProRig’s corner quick-release handles attach in any corner, so you can switch vertical/horizontal fast, tilt into harder angles, while keeping the phone bottom clear for cables and SSDs.
Project Duration

Operation Flow
Built from recycled aluminum with GRS-certified TPU bumpers. The slim expansion frame uses an open-back design to preserve MagSafe and keep ports/controls accessible. A swappable insert with a simple click-in fit secures the phone and enables forward compatibility—upgrade by changing only the insert to extend product life. Standard mount points and a dedicated lens mount are integrated for tool-free modular add-ons without bulk, keeping the rig clean, balanced, and fast to configure.
