NEEWER Magnetic SSD Mount with Upgraded Touch Fastener (MagSafe-compatible) for iPhone 15/16 Pro & Pro Max
Product description
What it is and why content creators use it
The NEEWER Magnetic SSD Mount is a phone accessory designed to let you attach an SSD to a MagSafe-enabled iPhone 15/16 Pro or Pro Max, so you can record and store more footage than the phone’s built-in storage allows. On paper it’s aimed at creators who shoot ProRes video and want a straightforward way to add capacity while staying mobile.
The core idea is simple: you bring an SSD along, mount it to the back of the phone using a magnet, then secure the drive with an upgraded touch-fastener strap. There’s also a non-slip rubber pad to help keep the SSD stable and reduce the risk of scratches.
Is it perfect? Not really—this kind of setup depends quite a lot on your specific phone case compatibility with MagSafe. If your case doesn’t play nicely, the magnet can’t do its job properly.
The essentials: how it works in practice
In day-to-day use, this mount is about reducing friction between “I want to keep filming” and “I need more storage”. A typical workflow looks like this: you slide or fit a compatible SSD into the holder, press it into place on the rubber pad, then tighten the touch-fastener strap so the drive doesn’t shift. After that, you align the mount with the phone and let the magnet connect.
Once attached, the SSD gives you larger storage space for recording HD ProRes videos, which is exactly the kind of scenario where creators often run out of room mid-shoot. It’s also a more portable approach than constantly swapping external drives—though you still need to manage your SSD capacity like you would with any recording media.
One practical limitation to keep in mind: if you shoot with filters, the manufacturer notes it isn’t recommended, as interference may occur. That may or may not matter depending on your setup.
Key features that matter when choosing
Secure magnetic attachment (with a case caveat)
The magnet makes it quick to attach, but the fit depends on whether your phone case is compatible with MagSafe. If it blocks or weakens the magnet alignment, you could end up with a looser connection than you want while filming.
Upgraded touch fastener strap for SSD width
The upgraded touch fastener strap is built to accommodate SSDs up to 75mm wide. That width tolerance is a genuine buying consideration: if your SSD is wider than that, the strap won’t secure it properly.
Nonslip rubber pad
The protective non-slip rubber pad stabilises the SSD and helps protect it from scratches during handling.
Designed for ProRes recording
The mount is positioned specifically around connecting an SSD to the phone for HD ProRes video recording. If your main use is other formats, you may still benefit from extra storage, but the product’s rationale is clearly tied to ProRes workflows.
What’s included / which drives it’s aimed at
The entry indicates compatibility with iPhone 15/16 Pro and Pro Max models, including iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro.
For SSDs, it’s stated to be compatible with Samsung T5/T7/T9, and compatible with SanDisk and Lexar SSDs (and more). That’s helpful, but it still doesn’t replace the need to check your specific SSD’s dimensions against the “up to 75mm wide” strap allowance.
Where it shines—and where it might not
It makes sense if you’re a creator using HD ProRes on a compatible iPhone and you want to add storage without making your rig feel heavy or complicated. The magnetic attachment is especially useful when you’re moving between scenes or shooting on location.
It may not be a great match if: - Your phone case isn’t MagSafe-compatible, because the magnetic attachment relies on proper alignment. - You plan to use filters, since interference is specifically called out. - You have an SSD that doesn’t sit within the strap’s width limit (up to 75mm wide).
Also, like most add-on recording setups, it’s not a “set and forget” solution—secure mounting matters. If you’re filming handheld in busy conditions, you’ll want to double-check the strap tension before you roll.

Buying verdict
Is it worth it?
If you shoot HD ProRes on an iPhone 15/16 Pro or Pro Max and want more storage at the phone level, this NEEWER Magnetic SSD Mount is a sensible, creator-focused add-on. The magnet + touch-fastener strap approach is practical, and the non-slip pad is the kind of small detail that helps in real use.
You should look elsewhere if MagSafe compatibility is uncertain due to your case, you rely on filters, or your SSD doesn’t fit the up-to-75mm width requirement. In those cases, the mount can’t really deliver what it promises.
Quick FAQ
Is it only for ProRes recording?
It’s designed around connecting an SSD to the phone for larger storage space for recording HD ProRes videos, so ProRes is its main use case.
Do I need a MagSafe-compatible phone case?
For secure magnetic attachment, you’re advised to ensure your phone case is compatible with MagSafe. That’s an important dependency.
Will it work with any SSD brand?
It’s stated as compatible with Samsung T5/T7/T9 and compatible with SanDisk and Lexar, and “more”, but the practical check is the SSD width—up to 75mm wide.
Can I use it with camera filters?
It’s specifically not recommended for use with filters, as interference may occur.
