FAQs
What does the 1.7X telephoto lens do?
The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens provides true optical magnification, narrowing the field of view by approximately 1.7X. This allows you to capture tighter framing, compress perspective, and bring distant subjects closer without using digital zoom.
For example, when used on the main camera of iPhone Pro models, the lens produces an effective focal length equivalent of approximately 40mm. When combined with the iPhone’s 2X in-camera zoom, it can achieve an effective focal length of approximately 80mm, making it ideal for portraits, interviews, and cinematic close-ups.
How does the 1.7X telephoto lens affect image resolution and zoom?
The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens provides true optical magnification that is applied across the full camera sensor resolution, without digital cropping. This means image detail, sharpness, and color accuracy are preserved at the native resolution of the camera.
Modern smartphones also offer a range of lossless or near-lossless in-camera zoom using high-resolution sensors. When combined with these camera systems, the 1.7X telephoto lens adds additional optical magnification on top of the phone’s native capabilities, extending usable focal lengths while maintaining high image quality.
Which smartphone cameras work best with the 1.7X telephoto lens?
The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens works best when aligned with the main (wide) camera on modern smartphones. The main camera typically offers the largest sensor, widest aperture, and highest overall image quality, making it the ideal base for additional optical magnification.
The 1.7X Telephoto Lens can also be used with built-in telephoto cameras on smartphones. It delivers excellent optical results when used with tele cameras up to approximately 3X optical zoom.
On 4X and 5X telephoto cameras, the lens still produces very good results; however, depending on the scene and lighting conditions, some optical aberrations or edge softness may become visible toward the edges of the frame due to the combined optical magnification.
Why use a 1.7X telephoto lens if smartphones already have telephoto cameras?
While many smartphones include built-in telephoto cameras, these cameras often use smaller sensors and slower apertures compared to the main camera. The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens allows creators to extend the focal length of the main camera instead, preserving higher image quality, better low-light performance, and more natural color and detail.
Using an external optical lens also provides greater creative control, more consistent results, and the ability to combine optical magnification with modern lossless in-camera zoom for extended focal lengths.
Do I need to use a third-party camera app, or can I use the native camera app?
The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens can be used with both native and third-party camera apps. However, the recommended approach depends on the smartphone platform and available camera controls.
On iPhone, using a third-party camera app is recommended for the best experience and consistent results. In the native iPhone Camera app, particularly in Photo mode, the system may automatically switch between cameras based on lighting, zoom level, or scene conditions. Third-party camera apps allow manual camera selection and full control over focus, exposure, and zoom, ensuring consistent use of the intended camera.
On Android, many devices include a native Pro or Manual mode that allows users to manually select and control individual cameras. When such a mode is available, the native camera app can work very well with external lenses. The choice between native and third-party apps on Android depends on the specific device and the user’s preference for manual control.
Is the 1.7X telephoto lens suitable for both photo and video?
Yes. The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens is designed for use in both photography and video applications, delivering consistent optical performance for still images as well as cinematic video capture.
For video, the lens works especially well for interviews, narrative filmmaking, close-ups, and detail shots where tighter framing, perspective compression, and subject separation are desired. For photography, it is well suited for portraits, nature, sports, and close-up compositions.
As noted above, using a third-party camera app is recommended on iPhone to maintain manual control over camera selection and ensure consistent lens alignment during both photo and video capture. This provides more predictable results, particularly in professional video workflows.
Which smartphones are compatible with the 1.7X telephoto lens?
The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens is compatible with a wide range of smartphones when used with Beastgrip mounting systems such as Beastcage for iPhone or the Beastgrip Pro universal rig. Compatibility is determined by the mounting system and proper camera alignment, rather than the phone brand itself.
The lens can be used with modern iPhone and Android smartphones, including devices with single, dual, or multi-camera systems. For best optical performance, proper alignment with the intended camera, most commonly the main camera, is recommended.
What is the 1.7X telephoto lens best used for?
The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens is best used in situations where tighter framing and natural perspective compression are needed without relying on digital zoom. It is especially well suited for:
- Portraits with more natural facial proportions
- Interviews and talking-head shots
- Cinematic close-ups and detail shots
- Sports, wildlife, and outdoor scenes
When shooting close-up subjects, the increased focal length also results in a shallower depth of field compared to wider lenses, helping to further isolate the subject and create a more cinematic look while preserving image quality and detail.
Can I attach filters to the 1.7X telephoto lens?
Yes. The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens features a standardized front filter mount, allowing the use of ND, polarizer, and creative filters for both photo and video applications.
The lens includes a 62mm filter thread and is supplied with a 77mm step-up ring, making it easy to integrate into professional filter workflows and share filters across different Beastgrip lenses.
Can the 1.7X telephoto lens be stacked with other lenses or adapters?
The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens is designed to be used as a standalone optical lens for optimal performance. Stacking the lens with additional lenses or adapters is generally not recommended, as combining multiple optical elements can introduce increased distortion, vignetting, or optical aberrations.
The only stacking configuration recommended by Beastgrip is the use of the Beastgrip 77mm Close-up Filter, which is purpose-built to work with the lens. The close-up filter reduces the minimum focus distance, allowing for closer focusing and shallower depth of field in close-up shots while maintaining controlled optical performance.
Other stacking combinations may be experimented with by advanced users, but image quality and edge performance will vary depending on the setup. For consistent, predictable results, using the lens on its own, or with the dedicated close-up filter, is recommended.
Will the 1.7X telephoto lens cause vignetting?
Proper mounting and precise alignment are critical for optimal performance. When the Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens is correctly aligned using a compatible Beastgrip mount, it produces no visible vignetting on the main camera of most modern iPhones (approximately 24mm equivalent) in standard 16:9 shooting modes.
On some Android devices with wider main cameras, a slight vignetting may be visible depending on the camera’s field of view. In many cases, in-camera image stabilization or digital stabilization introduces a small crop that effectively eliminates any visible vignetting.
When shooting in open-gate or 4:3 modes, such as open-gate recording on iPhone 17 Pro models, a very slight mechanical vignetting may appear in the extreme corners, especially when additional filters or adapters are used. Thick filters or stacked filter setups can increase the likelihood of edge darkening.
In all scenarios, correct mounting, careful alignment, and appropriate filter selection ensure excellent optical performance with minimal edge artifacts under normal shooting conditions.
Does adding an external lens reduce optical performance by adding more glass?
Any optical system that introduces additional glass elements into the light path, including professional camera lenses, will introduce optical characteristics such as distortion, flare, or minor aberrations. This is a normal and expected part of optical design.
High-quality conversion lenses are engineered to minimize unwanted optical issues while intentionally enhancing others. The Beastgrip 1.7X Telephoto Lens introduces minimal pincushion distortion and may add additional flares or subtle aberrations depending on lighting conditions. These characteristics contribute to image compression, shallower depth of field in close-up shots, and a more cinematic rendering that differs from the typical smartphone camera look.
External lenses are a creative tool, just like lenses used on traditional cameras. The purpose is not only magnification, but also to introduce optical qualities, such as perspective compression, depth separation, and natural lens artifacts, that enhance the image and give creators greater control over the final look.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 170 reviews.
Amazing lens! Used for a few portraits and nature photography and all of those turned out amazing! Quality is top notch and clarity is right there with it. Shipping was fast and packed safe with no damage just a little dust that appeared to be cardboard particals covering all the lenses boxes I received, but it blew right off otherwise all was amazing!
Used it for the Big Sur Marathon, Great Lens
This lens truly does the job, but the pro cage "case" brings it all together! This video is on an older phone and still took amazing shots. I will be getting a lot of use out of this. The customer service was incredible as well when I needed them.
This one came perfect thank you!!
Love it and I’ve referred others who also purchased. I should be an ambassador. Is that an option ?
The lens is professional grade. Love it. Recommend for everyone to enjoy filming and photography.
is simple and beautiful lens
The 1.7x teleconverter gives the 1x camera the extra reach it needs to not look like a phone lens. Great product.
Nice!
Love the 1.7x tele lens. It's the best smartphone tele converter lens on the market that I've come across in terms of optical and build quality. When paired with the wide camera of my iPhone 15 Pro, the resulting ~40mm focal length is extremely versatile. I was also pleasantly surprised to see just how good the 1.7x lens looked on my phone's tele camera. Considering the price point, the optical quality, and the build quality, I couldn't be happier. The Beastgrip Pro rig has served me well so far. It's easy to hold and operate. It's lightweight, but sturdy. I would love if it came with an additional handle on the left side, but other than that I have no complaints.
This lens is excellent. The build, the quality, the overall texture I get when shooting. This is by and large one of the best lenses I have ever used on an iPhone.
Great set up and easy to use.
High image quality
A wonderful Lens, high quality products. Thank you for consistently delivering a product that exceeds expectations. Highly recommended. Best regards from Munich Germany
I like it so much that I feel like I bought it for nothing. Because it makes me want to buy other things too. Thank you for making such a great product.
Great stuff!
The first impressions were amazing, the build quality is really premium and the results are incredible. The photographs taken with him have a really beautiful bokeh effect. I would recommend it to improve mobile photography and take it to the next level
I've used this lens a few times now and it's been incredible. The images are sharp, tight and so detail oriented. To this point I've only used this for some still shots but I'm going to be using this as a camera to film some podcast episodes when I'm on location and away from my home studio. Couldn't be more please, and the customer service team at Beastgrip has been amazing.
Nice product
Amazing lenses. I’m loving the quality and versatility of this equipment. I’m working in Nautical Twilight lighting and even in this challenging natural light, the lens reads the landscapes and light changes so magnificently. Looking forward to developing my project, concepts and content with Beastgrip gear. A Director of Photography from LA recommended me the Company and I’m so glad I found them. Highly recommended.
Great for my self filmed deer hunts!!!!
Excellent Quality. I love it seriously. It’s amazing. It just took my photography to a whole other level!
Awesome grip and lens that instantly upgraded my average Samsung A54 to top shelf camera 📷 😀 Great quality, sharp glass, heavy duty... If you're serious about turning your phone into a beast, make sure to grab them.
The beast cage grip bundle was actually a super smart purchase for me because all of my clients were impressed in every single time I utilize their bundle with their lens around my clients. I end up getting even more clients because they're so impressed with the gear. The quality of my own content has gone up tenfold because everybody has a iPhone, but it's the increase in quality that really makes me stand out in my content creation.
I love this lens! It's a great addition to my kit. Was able to capture some great views from a national park.
Exelente super genial
I purchased this magnificent lens after having already purchased the cage, I can only say that the performance of my videos has changed completely, the only point I can make is that by adding an ND filter in front of the lens a slight vignetting appears, but that's it a slight crop and everything will be fine, obviously I'm talking about the pro cage with a samsung s23 ultra
Its amazing with how it expands the ability of the camera. Love It!
Such a wonderful Crisp Lens
The best #1
I am not a pro, so I don’t know much about these things. But I really love the cage case and the telephoto lens. Adds a camera like effect to my 14 pro max iPhone. Upgraded my social media videos for sure.
If you're serious about using an iPhone for photography and filming, this lens is a must as part of your 'toolbox'. I've tried several devices/cases for holding the iPhone 14 Pro and found BeastGrip cases to be the best out there—well-built and easily expandable with attachments, etc. Don't forget to also order the 58mm filter mount plate if you use filters. My only regret is not also ordering the Macro lens at the same time. Oh, don't forget - UK buyers will need to pay import tax which bumps up the price but is still worth it. I'll do a full review of Beastgrip gear on YouTube in the future
Using the 1.7x tele lens using protake app grate job... love the lens, (Shooting on new year eve outside, could not see my phone it was bright outside sunlight although i did not lock the exposure it still came out geat. (the lens flare loved it)...as for focus i could not see, because of sunlight it still look good and sharp " yes cinematic " on the play back using the BG pro A14 phone....Is there a hood, i can use to place over the phone while in the BG pro rig, please let me know....".with this shoot a small Jib, would have been in place....all in all it look good.. on playback...

Epic lens perfect 👍. I love ❤️ all Beastgrip products😊. High quality products that work perfectly🤩.
Superb 1.7X Beastgrip Pro Series Telephoto Lens, what can I say, excellent quality as usual with Beastgrip, so I ordered the Beastgrip DOF Adapter MK3 from them, normally I should receive it at the beginning of March 2024 and I can confirm that Beastgrip is great material with quality at the Top.
The beastgrip is great. However telephoto len is not as good as expected. My samnsung galaxy (latest) and nbeastgrip len lost focus while taking video o photo, and only works with one photo style no panorama at all. Also it switch between lens no touching phone because of the len.
I like it . The lens give me more detail about the picture.
I'm Loving the Beastcage and tele lens setup for my iPhone 14 Pro. I purchased this instead of the new iPhone 15 Pro. I'm not a photographer or a videographer, just a dad filming his sons' sports games. I had so many other dads ask me about the setup when I was filming this week. One guy even google searched Beast Grip because he viewed it on Beastcage. On top of the compliments the coach asked if I could film the rest of the games for the season. I'm a complete novice but I noticed the tele lens helped in the low light situation (filming at night with bad football stadium lights). The tele lens is great on the main and tele lens, but I wish I could record in 6k 24fps when the lens is over the iPhone tele lens. Wasn't sure if this wa say user error or not as I didn't se any guide explaining his on the Beast Grip support area. Overall, I'm very impressed and plan to buy more Beast Grip gear. Thanks for making a great product!
