Khronos Universal Smartphone Case clamping range of 2.75 to 3.5 in (70 to 90 mm) for most mainstream phones
Cold shoe, NATO rail and 1/4-20 threads on the Khronos Universal case, with the NATO to Arca-Swiss quick release plate

The Tilta Khronos Universal Smartphone Case Base Kit is a universal phone cage for phones in a 70 to 90 mm (2.75 to 3.5 in) clamping range, with cold shoe mounts, NATO rails and 1/4"-20 threads built into the aluminum frame. It is the starting point for creators who would rather add the Khronos handles, filters, cooling and hub one piece at a time.

Key Features

  • A 70 to 90 mm (2.75 to 3.5 in) clamping range takes most mainstream phones from the major brands, so the same case carries over when you upgrade your phone.
  • Multi-axis adjustment suits different lens heights and camera bump sizes across phone models.
  • Cold shoe mounts, NATO rails and several 1/4"-20 threads are machined into the frame for a light, a microphone or an articulating arm.
  • Wave-shaped grooves on both sides of the frame and a dedicated thumb rest give a steadier handheld hold, and a pair of Cold Shoe Thumb Brackets is in the box.
  • Accepts every add-on in the Khronos Universal line, including the Cooling System, USB-C Hub, Adjustable NATO Handles and filter trays.

In the Box

  • 1x Khronos Universal Smartphone Case (Space Gray)
  • 1x Khronos Cold Shoe Thumb Bracket for Universal Smartphone Case (Pair) (Space Gray)
  • 1x T6 Allen Key

FAQ

What is the difference between the Base Kit and the Creator Kit?

The Base Kit is the case with a pair of Cold Shoe Thumb Brackets and a T6 Allen key. The Creator Kit adds two Adjustable NATO Handles, the magnetic 58mm filter tray holder with a 1 to 5 stop VND filter and a NATO to ARCA Adapter.

Can I add the Cooling System or USB-C Hub to the Base Kit later?

Yes. Tilta sells the Cooling System, the USB-C Hub, the filter tray holder and the other Khronos Universal accessories as standalone add-ons that attach to this case.

Which phones does the Base Kit fit?

Tilta rates the clamp for phones within a 70 to 90 mm (2.75 to 3.5 in) range, which covers most mainstream models from the major brands. Measure your phone first if it sits near either end of that range.

How do I put the Base Kit on a tripod?

Add the Tilta NATO to ARCA Adapter, sold separately. It slides onto the case NATO rail and fits Arca-Swiss tripods and gimbals.
