A Closer Look
Final Thoughts
A lot of people no longer carry cameras around with them as they have smartphones – and sometimes the quality of the images that can be taken on those phones are better. One thing that you cant replicate with a phone is the feel of holding a camera and having a physical button where you would expect it to be – or can you?
This is where the Shiftcam SnapGrip comes into its own.
The Shiftcam SnapGrip is essentially a battery back with a physical button on it – it snaps into place on the back of your phone using magnets (MagSafe) and uses Bluetooth to communicate with your phone so that when you press the button it takes a picture, or even starts and stops a video if you are in that mode.
The SnapGrip is held firmly in place – I didn’t feel like it was going to slip at all. Its also very easy to rotate the SnapGrip if you want to take portrait or landscape pictures.
If you are using a phone case there are magnetic stickers that are in the box you can use to make sure the SnapGrip attaches securely.
As I mentioned above, the SnapGrip is a battery pack too – press the little button on the SnapGrip to start charging your phone. This is really useful if you are wanting to take a lot of pictures and you dont want to stop to recharge your phone.
There is also a SnapLight which attaches to the front of the SnapGrip, again using magnets, that gives a really good light source if needed – it even works for selfies or vlogging! It flips up when needed and stays out of the way when you dont.
The box contains a pouch to carry the SnapGrip (and SnapLight) in safely – just slip that into your bag and pull it out when you need it.
If you take a lot of pictures and you miss the feel of a physical camera in your hands, and you need that extra battery pack, then look no further! Oh, you can also use the SnapGrip as a stand too!
The Shiftcam SnapGrip Lite Kit is available now priced around £109.99 and is available in a number of different colours.
