Tilta Khronos Lite iPhone 17 Pro Max Creator Kit (Light Gray)
The Tilta Khronos Lite iPhone 17 Pro Max Creator Kit is a professional-grade mobile filmmaking ecosystem specifically engineered to harness the expansive imaging capabilities of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Finished in a sophisticated Light Gray, this “Lite” edition of the Khronos system is designed for maximum agility, offering essential mounting points and structural stability without the bulk of a full-scale production cage. It serves as an elite foundation for filmmakers, mobile journalists, and high-end content creators who require a stabilized, accessory-ready rig that complements the Pro Max’s larger form factor.
Custom-Molded Aerospace Aluminum Construction
The Khronos Lite cage is precision-machined from high-strength aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, custom-molded to the exact dimensions of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. This ensures a zero-flex, secure fit that protects the device while maintaining full access to the larger screen, side buttons, and the advanced multi-lens camera array. The Light Gray anodized finish is specifically color-matched to the iPhone’s titanium aesthetics, providing a seamless, integrated look that remains professional on high-profile sets and commercial shoots.
Rapid Khronos Quick-Release Ecosystem
At the core of this kit is Tilta’s proprietary Khronos quick-release mounting system. The Lite cage features multiple integrated mounting points that allow creators to “snap” accessories into place with a secure, locking click. This ecosystem eliminates the need for traditional screws or hex keys, allowing for near-instant transitions between different shooting configurations. Whether you are adding the included side handle or optional LED panels and SSD mounts, the system is designed for the speed of modern mobile production.
Ergonomic Side Handle and Stability
Included in the Creator Kit is the Khronos Side Handle, which significantly enhances the ergonomics of the larger Pro Max body. This handle provides a stable, two-handed grip that helps eliminate micro-jitters during handheld tracking shots and pans. Featuring a textured, non-slip surface, the handle ensures a secure hold even in high-energy environments. It also acts as an accessory hub, providing an integrated cold shoe mount and 1/4″-20 threads for attaching shotgun microphones, wireless receivers, or compact monitors.
Professional Optical and Filter Integration
To maximize the cinematic potential of the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s sensor, the Khronos Lite cage features a built-in magnetic filter mount. This allows for the rapid attachment of Khronos-series filters, including ND (Neutral Density) filters for maintaining cinematic shutter speeds and circular polarizers for managing reflections. Because the filters mount directly to the cage rather than the lens glass, they remain perfectly centered and aligned across all focal lengths, ensuring consistent optical performance and eliminating vignetting.
