Frontline | TELESIN releases the iPhone 18 telephoto imaging kit, rolling out two product lines, Classic and Neo.

On September 21, imaging accessory brand Telesin officially released the Master Imaging Kit tailored for the iPhone 18 Pro series, and launched two product lines, the Classic version and the Neo version.

The new products are mainly upgraded focusing on mobile phone telephoto shooting, grip experience and battery life, providing 2X and 3.5X lenses, covering the approximately 105mm portrait focal length and the approximately 400mm telephoto focal length respectively. They are also matched with dedicated imaging grip, physical controls, power supply system and ColorShot App, targeting mobile shooting scenarios such as portrait shooting, performances, sports events and travel.

Previously, the iPhone 17 Master Imaging Kit launched by Telesin has recorded global sales of over 100,000 units, and has entered more than 3,000 Apple Authorized Retail Stores across the country. The new products for the iPhone 18 series further add optimized functions for lenses, battery life and software on the basis of the previous generation of products.

In terms of lenses, the Classic version provides two options of 2X and 3.5X. Among them, the 2X lens corresponds to a focal length of approximately 105mm, which is mainly used for close-range creation such as shooting people and pets; the 3.5X lens corresponds to a focal length of approximately 400mm, which is mainly for long-distance scenarios such as concerts, sports events, wild animals and distant landscapes.

From the perspective of product positioning, Telesin believes that mobile phone telephoto shooting is not just about adding an extra lens, but also involves multiple links including stabilization, grip, power supply, physical control, shooting software and supporting accessories. For software and accessories, Telesin has launched the matching ColorShot App, which provides functions such as anti-shake algorithm, stage mode, Live Photo and Log. The lens adopts a 43mm interface, which can be further matched with filters such as CPL, ND, UV and star filter to expand different shooting scenarios.

On the basis of the Classic version, the Neo version further enhances color matching, grip experience and battery life. This version offers two color options of Glacier Blue and Wine Red, features a fabric texture surface, and is equipped with larger grips, buttons and dials.

In terms of battery life, the Neo version has a built-in 5000mAh battery and adopts a swappable battery design. Users can extend the outdoor shooting time by replacing the spare battery. The Neo version is also compatible with the 2X and 3.5X lenses as well as the ColorShot App.

In terms of pricing, the suggested retail price of the Classic version Master Imaging Grip Kit is 499 yuan, the 2X teleconverter kit is 899 yuan, and the 3.5X teleconverter kit is 1299 yuan; the prices of the three corresponding kits for the Neo version are 699 yuan, 1099 yuan and 1499 yuan respectively.
