To get a vND setup for it you have to get a dedicated case and a custom vND for that case (which aren't cheap)

At least for the 16 Pro, there are Magsafe threaded filter adapters.  I have one that takes a 67mm filter (or is it 58?).  The only real bummer is that it can't go on with my phone in the standard Apple case so I have to pop the phone out to use it.  Mine cost $20 or so IIRC.  Maybe something like that exists for the 17 as well?

Interesting idea and seems like it might work well for some situations.  

I personally always use my phone in a drop-proof case and never take it out (as that just means the fit of the case gets loose and it lessens the protection) but the idea of a clip-on / clamp-on one seems sensible.  I'd imagine that we'll see a number of third-party accessories come out for the 17 over the coming months.  When I got mine there were only Apple cases available to be delivered immediately and the delivery date for the rest were weeks away.

I took the GH7 >> Voigtlander 42.5mm F0.95 >> Sirui 1.25x anamorphic adapter out for a spin in the markets last night and the images were great.  I'm not sure how much of that was due to the anamorphism of the lens, and how much it was just due to it not being pristine, but maybe that might be worth the extra fuss.

I've seen a few 1.5x adapters, which would make the 24 / 28 / 35 / 48mm normal camera into a 16 / 19 / 23 / 32mm camera.  The other camera would go from being 100 / 200mm to 67 / 133mm.  
Perhaps the best combinations in that bunch would be the 32mm, and 67mm ones, perhaps with the 23mm (or 19mm) as very wide options for specific situations.

Any tips for the brands you've seen? :- )

I think it's newer than the one I got and I guess it's closer to $30 than $20.  If you look around, you can also find some cases that work well with it.  It can also work with some cases, as mentioned in this video by DP Journey.  I got one of those cases too, but I'm not planning to switch to it until the Apple case that I got with my phone is falling apart (should just be another 3-6 months or so, based on the lifespan of my other cases and the amount of damage I've already done to it.

The main change I made from his setup is that I went with a magsafe CF Express adapter that I can put on the little folding tripod gizmo.  He also just made a video about an upgrade tripod gizmo which looks nice, but didn't seem to have anything compelling enough that I'd upgrade from the original.
