TIME’s Best Inventions list highlights groundbreaking innovations shaping the future.

The Tilta Khronos Ecosystem was designed specifically to enhance the shooting experience when using the Apple iPhone for capturing video.

Tilta introduced the Khronos Ultimate Kit for iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max. earlier in the year, and they also have a Lightweight Kit, Basic Kit, and Advanced Kit.

The premise behind the Khronos Ecosystem was to shield your phone from daily wear and tear and offer reliable protection without compromising on functionality.

Installation requires four screws which ensure the case and any connected accessories remain securely attached. Equipped with multiple mounting points, the locking clamp mechanism ensures a secure connection for additional accessories.

The Ultimate Kit includes the Khronos Focus PD Handle, which provides additional power to your system and offers control over the iPhone’s Focus and Zoom functionality. This handle utilizes the same innovative locking clamp mechanism as other Khronos accessories and features an internal battery that can be charged via USB-C.

The Handle connects to an iPhone 15 via an integrated USB-C cable and uses Bluetooth to control focus or zoom via the dial on the front of the handle.
This also provides more stability when operating the system and the record button ensures users do not need to let go of the handle to start recording.
