CMF RIG PRO – Magnetic Cage for CMF Phone 2 PRO

After verifying several violations of the original license (CC-BY-NC-SA) applied to my models, I have decided to change the license used for my files.

Although the new license (Standard Digital File License) would normally not allow remixing, I explicitly grant permission to create and share remixes of this model under the following conditions:

• Remixes must be uploaded using the same license (Standard Digital File License).
• They must include substantial modifications to the original model.
• The original photos of the model may not be used in any way.

This exception applies only to remixes that respect all the conditions listed above.

CMF RIG PRO – The Ultimate Magnetic Camera Cage for CMF Phone 2 PRO

Unleash the full cinematic potential of your smartphone with CMF RIG PRO - a professional-grade modular cage system designed specifically for the CMF Phone 2 PRO. Whether you’re a mobile filmmaker, content creator, or vlogger, this cage transforms your phone into a powerful video production tool.
 

🔧 Key Features:

• Universal 1/4-20 threading: Easily mount accessories like microphones, LED lights, wireless receivers, or power banks.

By removing the side arms of the cage, the 1/4” threaded inserts become essential for mounting the phone onto professional tripods. This allows for a secure and stable setup during static shots, and ensures smooth and fluid camera movements when using tripods with fluid heads, perfect for studio-style video production.

• Dual  phone mounting system:

1. Magnetic mount with a robust array of 60+8 alignment magnets for secure, precise snap-in placement.
2. Friction-fit mode with TPU rubber pads for perfect grip without magnets.

• Rosette Lock Handles: Ergonomic and adjustable side handles featuring a secure rosette locking system for optimal stability and control. 

• Open USB-C Port Access: Keep your phone powered throughout long shooting sessions without removing it from the cage.

🔀 Despite being optimized for the CMF Phone 2 PRO, the CMF RIG PRO is also compatible with the CMF Phone 1, using the rubber pad grip method (without magnetic mounting).

 Level up your mobile videography setup with CMF RIG PRO – sleek, modular, and designed to meet the demands of modern filmmakers.

🛠 Assembly Guide

1. Insert the Threaded Inserts

Once all parts are printed, begin by inserting the threaded inserts into the main cage body:

On the top and bottom edges, insert the 1/4”-20 inserts.

On the short sides, insert the M5 threaded inserts.

Then insert the M5 inserts into the three holes on each ergonomic handle.

2. Assemble the Handle Units

Start by inserting an M5×30 hex head screw into the knob, placing it into the dedicated slot.

Next, place an M5 nut into the matching slot on the arm (note: left and right arms are different).

Screw the knob into the arm and side bracket, securing the mechanism.

⚠ Make sure that once assembled, the handle is positioned behind the phone, this ensures the arm does not obstruct the camera.

Mount the ergonomic handle onto the arm using 2× M5×18 screws.

Repeat the process for the opposite arm.

3. Attach the Arms to the Cage

Fix both arms to the cage body using 4× M5×18 screws (2 for each arm).

4. (Optional) Magnet Installation

The CMF Phone 2 Pro uses a magnetic pattern similar to MagSafe.

To find the correct orientation, place the magnets directly on the phone to identify the polarity and arrangement.

Once identified, insert the magnets into the dedicated slots in the cage, following the same pattern.

⚠ Important: The face of the magnet that was touching the phone should remain visible when placed in the cage.

🔧 Upcoming Add-ons

Several accessories for the cage are currently in development, including a top handle and an ergonomic grip designed specifically for photography. 
These will be added to the project soon, stay tuned!
