ShiftCam SnapGrip Phone Camera Grip, Qi Wireless Charging, Midnight

I’ll admit it—I always thought the ShiftCam SnapGrip was one of the dumbest accessories ever made. I’ve been shooting professionally for decades, using everything from DSLRs to cinema cameras, and I figured a “phone grip” was something for influencers, not working pros. Then reality hit me: on any given shoot—whether it’s a product session, a behind-the-scenes clip, or a quick podcast promo—about 20% of my content happens on my phone, often when I only have five minutes to grab a shot before the light changes or a guest walks in. So I borrowed a friend’s SnapGrip to see what the hype was about. Well, color me stupid—this thing rocks. The magnetic mount snaps on perfectly, the grip feels balanced and secure, and the built-in shutter button gives me proper camera-style control. It even doubles as a wireless charger and stand. After years of lugging gear, this little thing made my iPhone feel like a legit compact camera. If you shoot content for clients or social, or just want to level up your phone work—get one. I’m now actively pushing more iPhone use in my workflow because the quality is that good, and the SnapGrip makes it effortless. Bottom line: Don’t knock it till you try it—this accessory turns your phone into a pro-ready shooting tool.

It does take a second to connect when you wake it up and there is a slight delay to the shutter when the button is pressed. If you aren’t taking time sensitive / action shots it works great. Definitely a great grip for the phone and holds securely.

I’ve been using the SnapGrip for a few weeks and it genuinely changes how I take photos. The grip feels natural in your hand and gives the phone the weight and balance of a camera. The shutter button is responsive, the magnetic attachment holds firmly, and I like that it can stand upright for group shots or FaceTime. The built-in battery gives my phone a helpful boost when I’m out. It looks clean and minimal, not bulky, and fits easily into a pocket or small bag. If you take a lot of pictures, travel, or just want more control when shooting, this makes a big difference. It feels like a thoughtful accessory designed by people who actually use their phones for photography.

I am excited about the revised version which gets rid of that cheap hinge and opens the door for quick mounting with magsafe magnets. They also supply the magnets to use with other phones but ideally you are getting this for the iphone with magsafe charging option as this has a built in battery. The LEDs on the side are well built and clearly state the remaining battery power, magsafe actively charging and BT connection. The magnetic pull is pretty solid just make sure you are using a reliable case with magnetic ring built in. I wouldn’t suggest using case-less as accidents happen and this is only being held on by magnets. This new version has some of the same build quality of the original. Again, it doesnt scream quality in hand with the plastic feel of that grip handle, why not make it have more grip with a rubber feel. The buttons feel plastically as well when pushed. The look of it is nice and it works very well with the MAX/PLUS 6.7 series phones. It felt comfortable in hand in both portrait and landscape mode with the 6.7. In portrait viewing with the 6.1 and 6.7, it feels very comfortable in hand and easy to use. In landscape mode, i found it comfortable to use with the 6.7 but not with the 6.1 inch phone as much. With 6.1 inch phone more of the handle hangs off the end of the phone and with the 6.7 it lines up exactly with phone so you are holding both the handle and phone together and feels more secure and comfortable. The button is more in an uncomfortable position and not easily aligned under your index finger do to the fact of the overall smaller footprint. You really have to curl up your index finger to get it aligned with button instead of it being in a more natural position, more pronounced to have to do that with the 6.1 vs 6.7 phone size. Didn’t notice too much of a delay from when shutter button was pressed and when phone registered it. The magnetic charging worked well and definitely another plus with those long day adventures. I love the smaller footprint over the first generation, makes it more mobile friendly and something you can actually see taking with you for the day. The magsafe option for quick mounting and dismounting is perfect along with the innovative thoughts they made with adding additional magnetic accessories to it. Debatable purchase with iPhone 6.1 but more of a win with 6.7 and in this economy who can not love that the revised version is around half the cost of the first version. The price point of it now is more acceptable to what you receive. I definitely would of appreciated the carry case when you just order the handle … seriously you only provide that when you order the bundle…??? The handle quality could definitely offer more grip which would in turn feel more premium. As well as the buttons not being so tinny and plastically when pressed. For $70 you have to up the premium a little more or at least offer the case. Other than those shortcomings they have a done a nice job with this revised version. ** Your 6.7 phone will stand up with this handle attached but the 6.1 size will not .. will fall forward. ** Sorry also seems to be only right hand compatible ** 3200mAH battery

This is a defective product. It works as intended after it is paired with an iPhone, but only for a few minutes. However, every few minutes it looses its blue tooth connection to the iPhone. In order to re-establish the connection I had to (1) reset the SnapGrip, (2) "Forget" it in iPhone blue tooth settings and (3) pair it again. This process has to be repeated every 5-10 minutes. Obviously this fix makes no sense if you are in the process of taking pictures or videos. ShiftCam customer service was unable to provide me with any other solutions and advised me their team is already is aware of the problem is currently working closely with Apple to find a permanent fix. In the meantime, it continues to distribute this product. Until they find a permanent fix with Apple (assuming they do in the near future), I would not recommend this this product to any iPhone user..

TL;DR - Premium feeling accessory that gets me to take more candid and fun photos. Would suggest!!! I do real estate photography and love to take photos otherwise. Hauling around a camera all the time isn't the most practical thing, so for those quick shots that I know I will never print I use my phone. This device has been great. I have a case on my phone (iPhone 13 Pro) with the mag-safe built in and it sticks to that with no problem. It's a clear case with a white ring (I think I paid $10 on Amazon). I wouldn't feel safe using it without a case as it doesn't hold to the phone by itself that well (I have found not much does without the case). The build quality is solid and has a premium soft touch to it. I have looked at others that look more like hard plastic that didn't look as comfortable to handle. Will your photography instantly improve? I mean no, but I do find myself enjoying using the phone more, which prompts me to take more photos. This of course gives me more photos to go through and pick the best ones. So, indirectly your photo skills may improve by just taking more photos, trying new things, and building experience. My only issue is the charging. It doesn't really charge my phone, more maintains the current charge. However, my phone is about 2 years old and I am chalking this up to the battery starting to go out and not the issue of the device. Worth the $$$? I say yes!

I purchased this to shoot social media photography on location at a film shoot that lasted about 10 hours daily for 6 days. In the past, my iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro Max, so not an old phone) needed to be recharged mid-day and this seemed like a good option to avoid that, and had the added benefit of a more convenient grip and shutter button. Here are my thoughts- The Battery ☹︎ The battery did not have enough charging capacity. It helped a little, but I still had to recharge the phone before the shooting day ended. I have used other battery backs in the past that have been much more effective, eliminating the need for a mid-day recharge. The Magnetic Connector ☺︎ I wasn't sure if this would be sturdy enough to stay connected, but it definitely was. It stayed connected through rotation, being held sideways, etc. For me it functioned very well. The Grip ☺︎ I really appreciated the grip- it made it easier to hold the phone and get shots from different positions. This was the best thing about the SnapGrip. The Shutter Button ☹︎ ☹︎ ☹︎ Ugh- I had very high hopes for this (it could have been SO great) but it ended up being unusable for me. It was sticky, so it either had to be pressed very hard, or be pressed multiple times (3 or 4) to get it to work. I was taking action shots of one-off demonstrations where I needed to photograph each step, so this alone made the shutter button virtually unusable. There was also a slight lag between the button press and the actual photo- again, this can't work for action shots. And finally, this is nit-picky but the button made a small sound when pressed and for my situation that was problematic. It was by no means loud, but was audible in the room, and since I happened to be in a situation where silence is essential, that didn't work. I will say though, that I liked the grip enough that I kept using the SnapGrip throughout the 6 day shoot since I already had it. But was it worth the money for the grip alone? Definitely not.

This thing feels great when taking pictures. But as I say in the title, it doesn’t work all the time. Not right off the bat anyway. It will eventually work after a few clicks. Just a bit frustrating when it does happen. Ok other than that it’s great. Another feature which is a game saver is the charging. I was on vacation and man this helped out while out and about. That bit of extra juice saved me out a lot. So overall great product. (Except those few hiccups) I really do wish it could wake up the phone with a tap of the button and open the camera app. There are more expensive options ( and cheaper imitations) out there.. I haven’t tried the cheaper ones but I’m pretty sure they would do the same thing as this one. The more expensive ones have the added feature of a dial which would be awesome to change things like shutter or fstop. Anyway cool little device. Oh also the magnet is pretty sturdy with the right case.

Works very well. First bought a cheaper copy. Same grip but the bluetouth connection is far better on thisone.

Ai fotografi è chiesto di scendere a patti con lo spostamento delle nicchie tecnologiche e accettare il cambiamento, anche se netto. Questo strumento migliora nettamente l'esperienza di scatto su smartphone, avvicinandosi alla comoda familiarità di un grip propriamente detto. Il fatto che funga anche da power bank magsafe poi è un tocco di pura classe. Eccellente acquisto, persino per chi storcerà il naso.

It’s a well made product and the only one you can use on an iPhone 16 pro and pro max. The mag grip is strong on a decent mag case. Bluetooth connects fast and is stable . I’ve shot both in portrait and landscape , much easier with the grip fitted. Annoyingly if you reconnect the grip it won’t connect Bluetooth you have to forget , turn off and on BT and try again. It’s worth the money, no shutter lag and no more dropping the phone . Great product for me as a photographer.

The delivery was fast and the product is exactly what was described. The gadget is pretty sweet. It’s very comfortable for taking photos and videos both in landscape and portrait mode. It’s pretty sturdy and the magnet attaches very well to my phone (iPhone 15 Pro max). I use it also with 2 MagSafe cases - nomad and mous and hadn’t had any issues so far. Using the ShiftCam as a stand also works well. I actually did not expect it to be that stable, but it is. The one thing that I am a bit disappointed is the charging. The battery size is ok, but the wireless charging is extremely slow and my phone mainly heats up, rather than charging. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I took the ShiftCam when I visited Italy last week and it came out to be quite in handy.

Bin sehr zufrieden, dass Smartphone lässt sich damit perfekt halten und man hat ein richtiges Kamera-feeling. Auslöser ist schnell und gut zu bedienen. Verarbeitung ist auch top, fühlt sich nicht billig an. Jedoch ein kleiner Haken gibt es doch. Die Möglichkeit induktiv zu laden ist zwar da, jedoch nur mit 5W. Das ist bei aktiver Nutzung des Smartphones nicht genug um dieses auch zu laden. Man verzögert damit lediglich die Entladung des Smartphone-Akkus. Hätte mir etwas schnelleres laden gewünscht. Bin ansonsten sehr zufrieden.
