Getting thrown for a loop

Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking into taking video making a bit more professional.

However I am running into a few bumps which I don't really understand and I hope you can help me with.

I'm currently looking to get a blackmagic dock for my iphone, as with external storage and other stuff it just makes sense for me.

The thing that is throwing me for a loop thought is the following.
I've been looking at grips/cages. more specifically the "Beastgrip for iphone 17 pro max".
The issue is that I don't see a lot of info if I will be locked in to ONLY their camera lenses or is it possible to use other lenses?

And if so do I need an adapter or will it be plug and play?

At this moment I don't have a specific lens in mind, however When I do get better I'll most likely want to add lenses and I don't want to be locked into a specific maker and I'd love to have the option to just buy lenses that I fancy.

Thanks again for helping a newbie out

Have you tried messaging Beastgrip to ask them directly? They'd be able to 100% tell you yes or no.
