![]() ![]() This means the Sherpa VNDs are just as susceptible to polarized light as any other VND, which can cause splotchy exposure in your photos and videos if the sun is bright and blue sky is visible. Like conventional VNDs, the Sherpa VNDs darken exposure by rotating one pane of polarized glass in front of another. The only difference between them is the "mist" option that uses diffused glass to gently reduce clarity, soften highlights, and help negate over-sharpened digital photos and videos on the iPhone. Be prepared to use a sharpie or label maker.īoth Sherpa VNDs reduce the amount of light entering the lens by a factor of one to five stops. This means spending time looking under each cap to find the right filter. Unfortunately, with their caps attached, it's impossible to tell the filters apart if you own more than one. Removable filter backs to help future proof filtersĮach filter comes with a clear plastic case and thick rubber cap to protect the filters when not in use. If that happens, you'd only need a new Sherpa case and swap the filter mounts, not an entirely new set of filters. Speaking of the filter mounts, Freewell has future-proofed their design with a removable plate (note the screws in the image below) that may be replaced if Apple were to redesign the iPhone's camera dimensions. The rear mount of each filter has an inner ridge that prevents the filters from twisting when mounted, and helps block light from slipping between the filter and lenses. The filters confidently click into place, and the magnetized metal plate is sufficiently strong to hold the filters. The Sherpa system includes five magnetic filters that instantly attach and detach from the back of the Sherpa phone case.Įach filter mounts by aligning the Freewell logo on the back of the filter with the Freewell logo on the magnetized plate. Would likely be easier to swap phone cases than use a special adapter. I haven't tested it, but I'm willing to bet the Sherpa case functions better. Speaking of, if you'd rather use your own phone case and not the Sherpa case, Freewell also sells a standalone filter mount that clips onto the phone. Also not a fan of the case's deep blue/violet color, or the large glossy "Freewell" logo on the back.ĭesign is a subjective thing, and doesn't really matter if using the Sherpa case only when mounting filters and/or lenses, but I wouldn't use it as my everyday case. I accidentally trigger the buttons on my iPhone 14 Pro Max using the Sherpa case far more often than other cases I own. The case feels a bit plasticky, and the volume rocker/power buttons trigger too easily. The case does the job of mounting filters and holding the anamorphic lens, but I'm not a fan of the materials and aesthetics. Sherpa phone case on an iPhone 14 Pro Max The cutaways for the wide and telephoto lenses include notches for threading the Sherpa 1.55x anamorphic lens (and future Sherpa lenses, should Freewell release more). The case slips onto an iPhone 13 or 14 (Pro Max models too), and wraps the lenses with a metal magnetized plate. The root of Freewell's Sherpa system is their MagSafe phone case.
