The Tilta Khronos Universal Smartphone Case Creator Kit is a universal phone cage with a 70 to 90 mm (2.75 to 3.5 in) clamping range, so one rig fits most mainstream phones from all major brands. It adds two rotating NATO handles, a 58mm magnetic filter tray with a 1 to 5 stop VND filter and a NATO to Arca-Swiss adapter, for creators who shoot handheld and on a tripod with the same setup.

Key Features

  • Clamping range of 70 to 90 mm (2.75 to 3.5 in) fits most mainstream phones from all major brands, so the rig stays the same when you change phones.
  • The magnetic 58mm filter tray holder moves 0 to 15 mm left to right, 0 to 42 mm up and down and 2 to 10 mm front to back to line up with different camera layouts and lens protrusions.
  • The included magnetic 58mm VND filter (1 to 5 stops) snaps onto the tray for exposure control without changing shutter speed.
  • Two Adjustable NATO Handles lock onto the NATO rails with one touch, rotate 360 degrees with a press-and-hold button and have 1/4"-20 threads on the top and bottom.
  • The NATO to Arca-Swiss adapter slides on and off the NATO rail to move the rig between handheld use and an Arca-Swiss compatible tripod or gimbal.
  • Built-in cold shoe mounts, NATO rails and 1/4"-20 threads take lights, microphones and articulating arms, and wave-shaped grooves on both sides give a secure grip.

FAQ

Will my phone fit the Khronos Universal case?

According to Tilta, the case has a 70 to 90 mm (2.75 to 3.5 in) clamping range that fits most mainstream phones from all major brands. The filter tray holder also moves on three axes to line up with different camera layouts. Check your phone against that range before you order.

Do the handles in this kit have a Bluetooth record button?

No. Tilta describes the Adjustable NATO Handle as a mechanical grip: it locks onto the NATO rail with one touch, rotates 360 degrees with a press-and-hold button and has 1/4"-20 threads on the top and bottom. Tilta does not list a record button or wireless control for it.

Can I mount 17mm threaded phone lenses on this case?

Tilta does not list 17mm lens support for the Universal case. The filter mounts it lists are the magnetic 58mm filter tray holder in this kit and a 62mm threaded filter tray that is sold separately.

Are the Cooling System and USB-C Hub included in the Creator Kit?

No. Tilta includes the Cooling System and the USB-C Hub only in the Ultimate Kit. Both are also sold separately and attach to the same Universal case.

Does the Creator Kit come with a carrying case?

Tilta lists an Organizer Insert for the Khronos Universal Carrying Case in the box. The carrying case itself is not on the packing list.
