Overview
- The Kickstarter campaign is live with pledge tiers from $72 for the case-and-grip to $184 for the full kit, compared with a $229.95 MSRP.
- PGYTECH lists March 2026 for initial shipments, and some configurations are already running low on Kickstarter.
- The hardware pairs a custom case with a slide-on grip that adds a two-stage shutter, zoom rocker, control dial, and a microSD slot.
- The optional 2.35× telephoto extender uses a 13‑element, 3‑group design tuned for f/2.8, enabling up to a 235mm optical equivalent on iPhone 17 Pro.
- Use is limited to PGYTECH’s app, which supports ProRes and HEVC with restrictions and excludes 4K60 ProRes external recording, while early hands-on notes praise the lens and flag modest case build concerns.
