Seamless integration and user-friendly design allow for quick installation with no tools required. Thanks to Apple’s MagSafe technology, the new Tiffen filter mount magnetically secures to the back of your iPhone.

Tiffen is the latest company to offer modern solutions for using filters on smartphones, albeit limited to Apple models. We have previously written here on the ProVideo Coalition about Samsung’s solution (which continues to be missing from most markets…), or Xiaomi’s recent “photo kit” for its 14 Ultra models, or the Ulanzi kit, which is compatible with: I wrote about it. Recent iPhone models. All of these products are interesting, but there seems to be a lack of standard when it comes to filter size. Samsung’s adapter is for filters with a diameter of 72mm, Xiaomi uses 67mm, Ulanzi chooses 52mm and now Tiffen chooses 58mm… Will accessories be standardized? That makes sense…

Tiffen’s filter mounting solution is very similar in design to Ulanzi’s solution. I think this is determined by the fact that they both use Apple’s MagSafe technology, but not just the diameter of the filters: Ulanzi’s filter uses a magnetic filter, while Tiffen’s The two are different because they use a magnetic filter. Classic screw-in filter.

Adapters offer many creative options

The filter mount is threaded, so at least on paper it is possible to use larger diameter filters with an adapter.
