17 Best iPhone Camera Accessories in 2023

iPhones are usually praised for having a wonderful camera. However, if you pick the right Phone camera accessories, you will be able to achieve even more impressive quality of pictures and videos. These are the iPhone photo accessories that I highly recommend.

1. Viewflex Video Kit

Best iPhone camera accessories kit

2. Bostionye Cell Phone Lens Kit

Best lens kit for iPhone

Number of lenses: 8 | Weight: 11.2 ounces  |  Dimensions: 5.9 x 4.4 x 1.9 inches

This lens iPhone photography kit enables you to reach completely new levels in mobile photography. With telephoto or close-up macro lenses to choose from, you can take truly professional-looking shots, no worse than with a digital camera.

The lenses are compatible with Android smartphones as well.

20 times telephoto lens boasts a regulated focal length and an ability to shoot from a long distance (regular iPhone camera provides short distance only). In addition, the kit consists of 198° Fisheye lens, 15X Macro lens, Wide-Angle lens, 2X Telephoto lens, Kaleidoscopes, CPL filter and 4-Line Star filter.

Bluetooth remote shutter for simplified photographing is included in the kit.

This Cell Phone Lens Kit features high-end optic lenses made of industrial-grade aluminum. This material ensures durability over a long period of use. Besides, you will find a protective case in the kit for the secure storing of lenses.

3. GOBY GripTight GorillaPod Stand PRO

Best tripod

Material: ABS plastic, TPE, and stainless steel | Dimensions: 3 x 12 x 2 in | Weight: 0.53 lbs | Attachment Type: 1/4"-20 standard tripod mount

A tripod is one of the most important Apple iPhone camera accessories. However, a standard tripod is quite large and won’t suit shooting with a phone since it adds unnecessary weight. In this case, you can use a mini tripod, like Joby GorillaPod.

Unlike standard tripods with legs, it features joints. These can be adjusted and moved in any way you wish. It means that you may attach the tripod to all kinds of uneven surfaces.

Wrapping GorillaPod around a tree or a pole makes it possible to photograph from unusual angles. Moreover, it will securely hold your phone during shooting.

For selfie fans, GorillaPod can be turned into a selfie stick. I like that it is fitting for any phone from 2,2-3,9 inches, for instance, iPhone 8 and 8+, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S8 and other models.

4. Lume Cube Lighting Kit

Best lighting kit

Lumens: 1500 | Dimensions: 3 x 12 x 2 in  | Color Temperature: 6000K | Attachment Type: 1/4"-20 standard tripod mount  | CRI: 85

Flashes on the cameras for iPhone aren’t powerful enough for some photographers. That’s when a Lume Cube lighting kit will come in handy.

The kit isn’t so big but it generates bright light and helps a lot when shooting with an iPhone in low light conditions. The kit consists of the cube and a smartphone mount. Off-camera placement is possible so you can illuminate objects from different angles.

The body is quite robust, made of aluminum and is hard to damage. It will withstand any conditions.

You can control this lighting kit using the Bluetooth App. For manual brightness control, press 2 buttons on top of the Lume Cube with your fingertips.

The kit is water-resistant to 100ft without housing.

Lume Cube can be recharged on the move with the help of the built-in Micro USB port on the rear side of the device. Unfortunately, the charging process takes a lot of time.

6. CamKix Camera Shutter Remote Control

Best remote control

Dimensions: 4.7 x 3.2 x 0.7 in | Weight: 5.6 ounces

There is a handy self-timer in every iPhone. However, it is pretty limited. For instance, once it is on, you have split seconds to get in front of the camera. That’s why I recommend using a remote control.

The device is connected to the phone via Bluetooth. It will continue working even while the phone is 30ft away. Put the remote control in the pocket on a keychain and conveniently carry it around.

When you don’t need to use the remote, an adjustable wrist strap, which is included in the kit, will hold the device in place.

In addition, Camkix is one of the best iPhone camera accessories for shooting long exposures. With such remote control, there is no need to touch the camera. It means that you can forget about undesired motion blur in the shots.

Best for 360 iPhone photography

Photo resolution: 6272 x 3136 | Photo format: jpg, insp, RAW(DNG format)  |  Aperture: F2.2  |  Sensor: Sony

360° photography isn’t a new thing in the industry. However, until recently, only those who owned high-end equipment could take such shots. Now, with the release of the Insta360 Nano camera, iPhone users have this opportunity as well.

The Nano camera’s two fisheye lenses are capable of capturing views in front and behind them simultaneously. Then, it combines two images into one without borders.

To use the Nano camera attached to iPhone, you need an application. With the help of this app, you may look at and share shots that you have taken. Feel free to display the shots on the phone screen or a virtual reality headset.

Thanks to the 360° video chat option, you can show your friends or relatives the way you see this or that particular scene right now in full glory.

8. GLOUE Selfie Ring Light

Best for selfies

Dimensions: 1.08 x 3.34 inches| Number of LED lamp beads: 36

If you are a selfie pro, you probably know that the quality of such shots greatly depends on the lighting. That’s why, to enhance the lighting in selfies, many photographers use clip-on ring lights.

This ring light is one of the best iPhone photography accessories for selfies. It features 36 LEDs to help selfies look better or improves pictures taken at night. Just attach the light to the top of your phone using a small clip and you are all set.

There are three regulated brightness options. The ring light produces a softer illumination than the built-in flash does and will not overexpose shots. The ring light is portable and may be carried around in your pocket or bag.

9. Pictar Smart Grip

Converts your phone into camera

Dimensions: 5.12 x 1.97 x 7.09 in | Weight: 0.13 lbs | Attachment type: 1/4"-20 standard tripod mount

People, who shoot with their iPhones or any other smartphones are often irritated by the virtual shutter button. Actually, it isn’t so difficult to control, but there are still some restrictions. One of them is the complicated button activation when you are moving or having gloves on.

Pictar Grip is truly the best iPhone camera accessory as it provides a big shutter button and an ability to photograph with one hand – in horizontal or vertical positions. Also, its convenient grip prevents a smartphone from slipping out of the hand.

This device uses sound frequencies to enable the camera, thus saving battery power in comparison to regular Bluetooth connectivity.

On the bottom of Pictar Grip, there is a ¼” 20 standard connection for a tripod. On the top, you will see a “cold shoe” connection for external lighting.

You can easily bring the grip with you to any place. Aside from the device itself, the kit includes wrist and neck straps, and a travel case for safety and storage purposes.

10. ProShot Touch Protective Camera Case

Waterproof

Dimensions: 4.02 x 0.98 x 7.01 in | Weight: 8.2 ounces

iPhones are prone to all kinds of damage. In case you often take pictures outdoors, do travel photography or your phone tends to fall on the ground once in a while, a protective case is exactly what you need.

Such a case is also one of the handiest iPhone photography accessories for shooting underwater. With ProShotCase, you have an opportunity to capture marine life up to 50 feet underneath.

ProShotCases are suitable for all action camera mounts (Go Pro ones included). Ride a bicycle, kayak or ski and record videos hands-free at the same time, with the phone mounted to your chest.

This device features a robust and powerful hand-grip that enables a simplified recording process. It secures any iPhone model along with the case in place. If you want, you can try waving it around and the phone is unlikely to fall to the ground.

Also, I really like the fact that this grip is fully modular. It means that the strap and the handle can be easily removed.

You can use Shoulderpod Handle Grip as an iPhone video camera attachment to a monopod or a tripod with or without the wooden handle. A variety of accessories is presented, such as light holder, traveler stand (tripod), a microphone holder and more.

The clip-on iPhone camera lens has been on the market for some time. But there was one issue – the absence of lighting. This Wallfire Lens kit doesn’t have such a drawback and features an integrated LED light.

This lens with a light may be attached to any phone, the front or back camera. The kit includes a wide-angle lens along with a macro one. They are sure to give you interesting compositions and angles for future shots.
