I have both and the Neewer feels better in my hand because of the curved edges. Smallrig's edges feel sharper and rougher. I hate having to change the backplates for the Smallrig but I also hate the rotating handles of Neewer. If only Smallrig has curved edges and had a quick release backplate like the Neewer, it would be perfect. Smallrig has a new universal cage coming out in July that has a SSD in the handle grip and I believe focus/zoom wheels too. Pre-order starts in July I believe.

I had the green one for my 15 pro max but now that I have the 16 pro max now, I think the “freewell” cage is an upgrade to this one. Still a small case to fit the iPhone but the handles rotate as well and have a build in 🤳 stick and tripod build into the other. If smallrig did this I would have stayed with the brand but have to move on the next one. Check it out! Smallrig is still a good brand though.

Great comparison review, Benett! Have you tried connecting a usb-c cable (to connect an ssd for attached recording) to the phone through the Neewer cage? I saw a previous review of the older Neewer cage and you needed an adapter with a longer connection end because a typical usb-c cable end could not be securely connected into the phone.

After comparing several options, I was about to buy the Neewer G1, but it didn’t fully convince me. Just in time, the new generation of Neewer cages (G2) was released, which surpasses the SmallRig in many aspects. I’ve already ordered it and also recommend considering the Hagibis memory (compatible with M.2 memory), which is also MagSafe compatible. Now, I just need the ND filter and the DJI stabilizer handle.

The double grip system of the Neewer, let's put it that way, is an additional safety measure. It is well known that the grip system of SmallRig is unsafe. Let's check the comparison of neewer.

I have both of them for s24ultra I like Neweer, because of accessoires. On Neweer you can attach threaded one and magnetic filter Neweer filter set com with magnetic ring that attached to the plate and use the magnetic filters. Neweer lighter than smallrig . Smallrig handle has remote, but i have remote with zooming capacity from ulanzi and Huawei handheld tripods.

Thank you for a very interesting review. For me, it's the filter adapter and rotating handles which sets the Neewer apart. I also wonder if the new handles are compatible with NATO rails. If they are it might be possible to use old Smallrig NATO rail handles with the Neewer cage which could be a money saver.

@Benett Since you have both the Neewer and Smallrig cages can you check if the handles from the Smallrig can fit into the Neewer phone cage and vice versa? I was thinking I like the Neewer phone cage itself but the handles of the small rig seem better and wanted to know if I can mix and match between the two companies like this? Or if I got one grip thats from Neewer and one grip thats from Smallrig. Any idea about the ability to interchange between these two quick release grips?

Since you own both Smallrig and Newer cages, can you just see if the Smallrig handles can attach to the Neewer? If so that would be the best of both worlds! Really interested to see if it would work

I chosen Neewer cage after this review and first of all... doesn't fit to Freewell lenses... T-mount is different between suppliers, additionally is very delicated and is easy to scrach this cage... Additionally quality is not top, one of the gip has black another silver switch and is not possible to lock properly... what a crap... I am disappointed, I'll return to supplier this cage.

No, SmallRig's lens backplates are not compatible with NEEWER cage. If you get the 17mm backplate, you can use SANDMARC lenses. Shiftcam lenses have a 12mm thread, and I don't think they have backplates for that size.
