As part of our continuing coverage from the SmallRig booth at IBC (and after we previously covered the upcoming SmallRig x CineD OrBrella), we take a close look at two major product groups designed to streamline professional video production workflows: SmallRig’s latest advancements in modular iPhone rigging accessories and their expanded high-capacity power solutions.

Advanced Modular iPhone 18 Rigging Ecosystem
SmallRig has significantly expanded its mobile filmmaking ecosystem at IBC, introducing advanced modular support tailored specifically for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max lineup. At the heart of this new release is the Creator Dual-Handle Kit for iPhone 18 Pro Max (SKU 6903), which introduces SmallRig’s patented all-around SR-MicroSlide rail system. This innovative rail design allows creators to effortlessly slide, position, and lock accessories anywhere around the cage without being restricted to fixed cold shoe mounts, ensuring immediate weight balance control and rapid reconfiguration on set.
The kit includes a versatile dual-handle configuration featuring a rotating smart control handle equipped with a wireless remote module. This wireless grip grants creators fingertip control over essential parameters such as zoom, exposure compensation, shutter/video recording, focus lock, and camera switching without ever needing to touch the phone screen. The secondary handle offers 360-degree stepless rotation, letting operators quickly transform the side grip into a top handle depending on the shooting scenario. The system also bundles a 67mm magnetic filter backplate, enabling swift attachment of creative optical filters.
For creators looking for an even more robust cinematic setup, SmallRig offers alternative configurations such as the Creator Cinema Kit for iPhone 18 Pro Max (SKU 6905). This heavy-duty version upgrades the experience with dual wooden handles (featuring cylindrical and spherical ergonomic designs), a detachable 180mm “HawkLock” NATO rail for tool-free accessory attachment, an Arca-Swiss quick-release plate adapter, and multiple lens backplates including T-mount, 17mm threaded options, and the 67mm filter mount. Together, these modular kits provide filmmakers with professional-grade versatility, bridging the gap between traditional cinema rigs and modern smartphone production.
Creator Dual-Handle Kit for iPhone 18 Pro Max (SKU 6903): $140.
Creator Cinema Kit for iPhone 18 Pro Max (SKU 6905): $190.

Professional Power and Battery Solutions
Expanding its professional power solutions for content creators and on-the-go filmmakers, SmallRig introduced the versatile Nano36 (10,000mAh) and Nano72 (20,000mAh) power banks. Unlike standard consumer battery packs, these units are specifically engineered with production workflows in mind, featuring built-in 1/4″-20 threaded mounting holes with locating pin holes and a detachable V-mount plate option. This allows creators to seamlessly secure the power bank directly onto camera cages, rig handles, light stands, or gimbals without messy strapping solutions.

A standout convenience feature across both models is the integrated 67cm (26.4-inch) retractable USB-C cable that pulls out smoothly and retracts automatically after use, drastically reducing cable clutter on set. The power banks support simultaneous triple-port output (utilizing the built-in cable alongside extra USB-C and USB-A ports) to power cameras, lights, wireless transmitters, or mobile devices concurrently. They also feature a clear real-time TFT color display providing immediate feedback on battery level, charging/discharging wattage, and overall health status.
Built for rugged field conditions, the units are wrapped in a drop-resistant TPU coating for a secure, non-slip grip and incorporate weather-sealing silicone covers to protect vital ports from dust and moisture. With support for up to 100W fast input recharging, the Nano series ensures minimal downtime during busy production schedules, bridging the gap between everyday portable charging and heavy-duty cinema power needs.
SmallRig Nano36 Power Bank (10,000mAh – SKU 6057): $50.
SmallRig Nano72 Power Bank (20,000mAh – SKU 6108): $80.
