About Prorig Мобиль Риг
Prorig — смартфон белән фотога төшерү һәм фильм төшерү өчен мобиль риг. Риг эшкәртелгән алюминийдан ясалган, GRS сертификатлы TPU бамперлары белән. Ачык артлы нечкә киңәйтү рамкасы магнитлы аксессуарлар беркетүне, портларны һәм идарә элементларын һәрвакыт кулланырлык итеп саклый. Алыштырыла торган кыстырма чирттереп урнаштырыла һәм телефон модельләренең киң диапазонын тота, шуңа күрә телефонны яңарту өчен бары тик кыстырманы гына алыштырырга кирәк. Тиз ычкындырыла торган тоткалар теләсә кайсы почмакка беркетелә, бу вертикаль һәм горизонталь төшерү арасында тиз күчәргә мөмкинлек бирә. Стандарт беркетү нокталары һәм объектив беркеткече коралсыз аксессуарлар куярга мөмкинлек бирә.

- Unique Properties
- Made from recycled aluminium, ShiftCam Gear ProRig delivers cage-level capability with rig-like simplicity– built for professional creators, videographers and cinematographers. It upgrades mobile workflows without sacrificing portability, ergonomics or ease of use: quick setup, secure hold, accessory-ready mounting, and full MagSafe access. Elegant yet powerful, ProRig is forward-compatible: upgrade phones by swapping a simple insert, reducing lifetime cost and extending product life.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 170mm x 21.6mm x 103.5mm

- 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
- April 2025, prototype Oct 2025, designe drevision in jnauary 2026, expecting to ship july 2026
- 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.
