Beastgrip Lenses for Galaxy S23 Ultra
Now let's talk about lenses. Beastgrip Pro Series offers a range of compatible options for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, including our Pro Series 1.7X Telephoto, 0.75X Wide Angle, 1.33X Anamorphic, and 1.55X Anamorphic lenses. All of our Pro Series lenses have been rigorously tested and produce outstanding results when used with this new smartphone. Our team tested each of these lenses on both the main and 3X tele-camera of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, both in photo and video mode and found them to produce exceptional quality results. While the lenses give excellent results with the main camera, using them with the telephoto and 3X camera on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will give you even more creative outcomes. A quick note: Using external lenses with a 3X tele camera with a native camera app in photo mode is very challenging, and we strongly recommend using a third-party app for photos.
We are excited to see all those beautiful shots and films you will create with your new smartphone and Beastgrip gear. We have also tested Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with an upcoming DOF Adapter MK3 and new Beastgrip Macro lens, and those of you who are interested in this new gear can see the results for yourself in our video review. All shots were filmed handheld with the native camera app; only DOF MK3 footage was filmed with mcpro24fps camera app that has DOF support
Beastclamp for Galaxy S23 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra also works great with our Beastclamp. Our versatile universal clamp will be an excellent addition to the Samsung S23 Ultra and especially for those who are looking for a minimalistic but still highly practical rig. Add any of your favorite Beastgrip accessories like LED light, microphone, mount it on a tripod, build a minimalistic rig with your new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra that allows you to create high-quality content anywhere you go.
New Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is an outstanding smartphone for photography and filmmaking and will allow you to unleash your creativity to an even higher level when paired with Beastgrip's gear and lenses.

We're excited to announce that we have received the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it's an exceptional device.
Following Apple's lead, Samsung decided to keep the design of their new device similar to the previous generation S22 Ultra, which is a significant plus. The wide variety in shapes and sizes of Android devices, along with the position of camera modules, makes designing camera accessories challenging. However, Apple's consistent design approach allows for reliable performance with all our gear, due to shared mechanical design and camera performance. It's great to see that Samsung has also adopted this approach this year, ensuring that the Beastgrip Pro rig and Pro Series lenses work seamlessly with the new Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Our team has carried out extensive testing with our lenses and is currently working on showcasing their exceptional performance in an upcoming video. Although the new Galaxy S23 Ultra appears almost identical to its predecessor, the most significant changes are found internally, which have resulted in improved device performance. As camera enthusiasts, we have noticed a considerable improvement in the video capabilities of the new model. Videos recorded with the Galaxy S23 Ultra display well-balanced colors, excellent dynamic range, and minimal noise in midtones and shadows when capturing high-dynamic scenes. Additionally, the main camera module has a short focus distance, allowing it to focus with our 1.7X Tele lens just a few inches away from the object, producing a beautiful shallow depth of field and bokeh. Furthermore, the short focus distance makes the Galaxy S23 Ultra fully compatible with our DOF Adapter MK2. Although the MK2 version is currently sold out, we are excited about our upcoming MK3 version and will share more information as soon as possible.
To summarize, we are impressed with the new Galaxy S23 Ultra and cannot wait to share our update and video with you. If you want to elevate your Galaxy S23 Ultra's photography and videography game, our gear is an excellent choice. Stay tuned for more updates!

Samsung just recently announced the release of their new flagship Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and we can not be excited enough.
New Galaxy is coming with the biggest camera upgrades in years. A more powerful processor chip, an impressive 200-megapixel main camera sensor, better low-light performance, and a new Expert Raw feature are some of its biggest improvements in the camera department. The jump from 108 megapixels to 200 megapixels in the main camera, roughly double the resolution of its predecessor, is definitely a big upgrade that makes this new smartphone even more suited for phoneography. The other three rear cameras remain unchanged. 12-megapixel ultrawide, 3x telephoto, and 10x telephoto, both with 10-megapixel sensors
Heavily oriented towards those who like filming and taking pictures with their smartphone, the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will be another great release from the company and will definitely win a lot of hearts.
Samsung’s recently released teaser for their upcoming short film “Behold,” directed by Ridley Scoot, and another teaser for a short film called ”Faith,” directed by Na Hong-jin, is actually proof of what their new Galaxy S23 Ultra is capable of. As can be seen in the behind-the-scenes video, some parts of this new “Behold” short film were filmed using our Beastgrip Pro Rig, and we are extremely excited about it!
We are waiting for the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to arrive and can not wait to test it out with Beastgrip gear. We can confidently say it will work great with our gear, just like its predecessor, based on what we see and available sizing and other characteristics provided online.
However, once we receive Galaxy S23 Ultra, we will test all of our lenses and share all the results with you, please stay tuned!
