Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra packs a strong camera system and on-device AI, but the phone still benefits from the same tools filmmakers use on bigger cameras: a solid case, ND and CPL filters, and optional 17mm lenses.
Direct answer: For better S24 Ultra photos and video, start with a Freewell Pro Filmmaker case, add a magnetic ND filter kit for daylight exposure, then a CPL for reflections. When you want a different look, mount anamorphic, wide, telephoto, or fisheye lenses on the case’s 17mm thread. Shared Galaxy Ultra kits that list S24 Ultra at checkout are the current correct product pages.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra camera overview
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is built around a versatile multi-lens camera. A standout piece is the 5x optical zoom with a 50-megapixel sensor, which helps close the gap between shorter and longer zoom ranges and keeps photo and video quality more consistent as you pinch to zoom.
Samsung’s camera AI analyzes the scene before you shoot, recognizing subjects and fine-tuning detail across the frame. Multi-frame processing and an improved NPU help the Ultra hold detail even when you crop, so everyday shots and video clips stay usable without a heavy edit.
Before the shutter fires, the system can tune skin tones, nature detail, and other subject types. That automation is useful, but it does not replace optical control of light. Filters still matter when daylight is bright, reflections wash out a scene, or you want cinematic shutter speeds for video.
Must-have filters and case for Galaxy S24 Ultra
Freewell’s Samsung Galaxy Ultra system is designed around a Pro Filmmaker case with a magnetic filter mount and a 17mm lens thread. The Samsung S24 Ultra Pro Filmmaker Case protects the phone and gives you a clean mount for filters and lenses.
The Galaxy Ultra ND Filter 4Pack gives solid ND strengths for balanced exposure and smoother motion in daylight video. Pair it with the Samsung Galaxy Ultra CPL when you need to manage glare on glass, cars, or water.
Compatibility note: Current Freewell Galaxy Ultra kits often cover S24 Ultra, S25 Ultra, and S26 Ultra on one product page. Choose the S24 Ultra option at checkout. Do not assume an older S23-only SKU name is required if the live page already lists S24 Ultra.
If you want case and NDs together, the Pro Filmmaker Basic kit is the simple starting bundle (S24 Ultra variant currently $139.99). The Starter and Cine Pro kits add grip and lens options when you are ready to build further.
Lenses, grip, and travel support
Once the case is on, Freewell 17mm lenses expand what the S24 Ultra can do optically:
- 1.33x Anamorphic Lens for a wider cinematic frame and characteristic flares
- 16mm Wide Angle Lens for landscapes, interiors, and group shots with less reliance on the phone’s ultra-wide alone
- 1.7x Telephoto Lens for tighter portraits and distant detail on the main camera
- 8mm Fisheye Lens when you want an exaggerated ultra-wide look
For handheld run-and-gun, the Bluetooth Selfie Grip adds a stable hold, shutter trigger, and cold shoe. For locked-off or travel shots, The Real Travel Tripod keeps framing steady when you slow the shutter or film controlled moves.
Together, the S24 Ultra’s AI camera and Freewell’s magnetic filter / 17mm lens system give you a phone workflow that is closer to intentional filmmaking: protect the body, control light, then change the optic when the shot needs it.
