ShiftCam SnapGrip - Mobile Battery Grip with Wireless Shutter Button - Magnetic Mount Snaps on to Any Phone - Built in Powerbank with Qi Wireless Charging (Midnight)

Excellent addition to my phone

The SnapGrip isn’t meant to replace a camera or power bank — and it doesn’t claim to. What it does do is make your iPhone feel like a compact camera, with a comfortable grip and a shutter button that works for both photos (shutter release) and videos (start/stop). It doesn’t override any iPhone controls, so your Camera Control and Volume buttons still work normally. You still need to open the camera app before using the grip. The Bluetooth connection stays active for about 10 minutes, after which you “wake” it by pressing the shutter button. The built-in battery won’t fully recharge your iPhone — and it’s not the fastest — but it’s great for giving your phone a boost when you’ve been snapping away and can’t reach a power socket. The MagSafe hold is impressively strong, even through a case. It feels solid and well-made, giving a steady grip that makes photos and selfies much easier to take. It also doubles as a handy stand for portrait or landscape viewing. I’d love to see a zoom control added in future versions, especially at this price point. I would suggest that it is principally intended for 'photographers' like me who use their iPhones to take snaps and are fed up with getting their fingers in shot! I did have an issue with Bluetooth reconnecting — it required forgetting the device and pairing again, which was incredibly frustrating. However, ShiftCam’s customer service was outstanding. They patiently worked with me over email and, when the problem couldn’t be fixed, they quickly arranged a replacement. The new unit works perfectly, and after 48 hours of testing, I’m confident it’s ready for my upcoming vacation. I’m even considering adding the SnapPod tripod/selfie stick to my kit. 4 stars only because my first unit didn’t work out of the box — but this product is just what I wanted and ShiftCam’s customer care is top-notch.

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.

Took this gadget on holiday recently and tbh I used it more as a grip than a shutter button. My right thumb was better placed to tap the mobile shutter button and I found it easier to use that way. The SnapGrip ended up being a useful grip the whole time. Found the SnapGrip shutter button a fraction slower than I wanted, maybe the bluetooth didn't work as fast as it should have done. Connection was on the mobile and not through a case so I expected better & faster. Battery life lasted a good 8hrs. Overall, not really impressed and I'll probably sell it on come Easter. A cheap solid grip would be more useful.

Good strong magnetic attachment. The grip design is easy to hold and use it fits in the palm of your hand.

Really like the idea of this, but now doubting my decision. It’s feels good in isolation, good idea to have the Qi charge as a selectable option. However, If you order only the grip, you don’t get any form of protective case, very disappointing, no option I’ve found to even option one. There is no way to turn off the Bluetooth on the grip when you’ve finished, you have to turn off the phones Bluetooth to force snap grip to sleep. This seems a silly and pretty basic oversight. With the grip on a 13 Pro Max, you can’t see the lights, and it makes the whole setup uncomfortably thick. Now the potential fatal flaw, the MagSafe magnet feels very weak, not sure I can bring myself to trust it. It doesn’t ‘snap’ to the phone with any confident feeling, this is to a genuine apple MagSafe case, the key magnet is all but absent, barely any resistance. Now I’ve given the phone and grip a good shake in safety, and it’s not dropped off, but I’m not sure an accidental knock would see my phone tumbling to its doom. Trying hard to convince myself not to return it. Edit: I’ve since used it for a day walkabout taking pictures, the shutter button is horribly laggy , the button isn’t a nice feel, you need to press and fully release for the photo to be taken, unlike a normal camera, which would take image on press, and it’s a fairly ‘long throw’ press, feels uncomfortable and unnatural to use, and on a few occasions it refused to react. This will end up in the returns warehouse, maybe I’ve got a faulty one, not sure.

I bought this for my Galaxy S23 Ultra with magsafe case. I was always frightened of somebody bumping in to me and my phone going flying while I held the edges of my phone. This grip is excellent. No matter how hard I shake it, the phone stays on. I can enjoy taking photos again without the stress of thinking I might drop my phone. It automatically turns on when I snap the grip on to my phone. I set up a bixby routine that says if I'm connected to the snapgrip and it is wirelessly charging, open the camera app. It works great 🙂.

First of all there was no charging cable and for the price there should be one then kept disconnecting from Bluetooth so I had to close the Bluetooth tab on my iPhone 16pro then turn it back on then reconnect the hand grip so I couldn’t rely on it for a quick photo and 3 times the phone came away from the magnetic grip I have used this hand grip for about 5 hours

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.

Le support magnétique reçu n’avait ni aimant ni autocollant pour le fixer sur le téléphone. Sans doute une erreur de production mais quoiqu’il en soit, il m’est donc impossible de monter le grip sur mon mobile. De plus, une fois connecté en Bluetooth, le bouton de prise de vue de la poignée zoom quand j’appuie dessus et ne déclenche pas de photo. Même après avoir réinitialisé la connexion sur le grip et mon téléphone, le problème reste le même. Je vais donc renvoyer le produit. Dommage car la prise en main était très bien.

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.

Der ShiftCam SnapGrip ist wirklich gut verarbeitet und liegt super in der Hand. Besonders praktisch finde ich den extra Knopf, mit dem man die Powerbank ein- und ausschalten kann. Somit lädt es nicht sofort, sobald man den SnapGrip mit dem Handy verbindet. Der MagSafe-Halt ist zuverlässig, da wackelt nichts. Auch die Einrichtung per Bluetooth ging schnell und ohne Probleme. Insgesamt ein durchdachtes Zubehör, das das Fotografieren mit dem Handy echt komfortabler macht.
