The SmallRig wireless phone monitor offers a compact way to frame yourself with an iPhone’s rear camera, but connection problems and lag kept it from working well for me.

The idea is useful
The kit includes the monitor, a remote button, a USB-C cable, and a shoe attachment. Magnetic mounting, brightness controls, and a reversible display are convenient features for a small filming setup.
Where my test fell short
In the demonstration, QR-code pairing was inconsistent, the connection dropped, and screen mirroring lagged. Those issues made framing less dependable than I wanted. I show the problems on screen so you can judge the experience rather than relying only on the specification list.
My verdict
I decided not to keep this unit because of the inconsistent connection and delay. This describes the device and setup tested in the original review; it is not a claim that every phone or later software version behaves identically.
