ShiftCam ProGrip Starter Kit - DSLR Style Mobile Battery Grip - Wireless Shutter Button - Built in Powerbank - Qi Wireless Charging - Freestanding Dock - Tripod Mount - Android and iPhone Camera Grip

Works well with my Iphone 13 ProMax! It fits the hand well and changes the dynamic of phone photography, making it feel almost as if you were working with a camera with very little weight. The built in battery keeps the phone charged during extended use or shoot videos. Highly recommended product

Before purchasing the ShiftCam ProGrip I tried two other phone camera grips with bluetooth shutters available on Amazon - one for about $30 and one for about $40. I have concluded that when it comes to these devices, you get what you pay for.I've had the ShiftCam ProGrip for a week and today I was able to spend an entire afternoon using it to shoot photos and video with my iPhone 13 Pro. The ProGrip holds the phone securely - I was holding it down by my side when I wasn't shooting and walking around and I had no concerns about the phone falling out.When shooting, the grip is comfortable and the shutter button is well placed. After a little adjustment (loosening), the hand strap provides a secure means of holding the grip and the phone. I debated getting a wrist strap, just in case I dropped the phone while shooting, but with a properly adjusted hand strap I don't think I'll need a wrist strap.The shutter release worked EVERY time. With the less expensive grips the shutter release only worked 50% to 75% of the time and changed the phone's volume the rest of the time, rendering those less expensive grips unusable for serious photography and frustrating even for casual snapshots.The ShiftCam ProGrip easily rotates between landscape and portrait shooting without changing your grip, a nice feature. The less expensive grips require you to contort yourself to change orientation, as you would with a digital SLR, but doing that with a phone and a small grip is much more awkward than with an SLR.The wireless charging feature of the ProGrip worked well (my iPhone 13 Pro is in an Apple Mag Safe case). Just press the charge button on the ShiftCam ProGrip with the phone mounted in the grip and the phone immediately begins charging. You can download a template for lining up your phone for charging but I didn't need it with the Mag Safe case (just align the circle on the case with the circle on the ProGrip). You can charge and shoot at the same time and the ProGrip appears to have good battery life.My only complaint about the ProGrip is the price, but I've decided I'd rather spend the money for something that works very well. After investing $1,300 in a phone with an excellent camera, I had to ask myself what it's worth to be able to comfortably and securely use that phone to take pictures. I've decided the ShiftCam ProGrip is worth the money.

Couldn't afford to buy a DSLR camera for a trip to Alaska, so I tried this and a cheaper version without the hand strap, and a set of lens attachments. Immediately returned the cheaper version after experiencing the feel and ergonomics, and the lenses proved useless. This tool allowed far more control and fit my Samsung S24 Ultra perfectly, tho it also comes with inserts for smaller phones. The shutter button and grip along with the hand strap made for secure and comfortable shooting in a wide variety of situations, from hikes, to capturing landscapes and wildlife from moving boats and planes. Bluetooth connection was seamless and automatic. The grips on the phone and my hand were very secure, so I was much less concerned about losing my phone off the side of a boat or in any other situations. The best feature was being able to simply hold the shutter button for burst shots, allowing me to capture fleeting moments like breaching whales and flying birds with enough exposures to get the best possible photos. Trying to swipe the shutter button on my phone screen never reliably worked when I needed it to, but this made it completely effortless. I used it literally every day on the trip and took over 3500 photos. You definitely get what you pay for, and this is very much worth it!

I'm quite fond of the Shiftcam ProGrip. However, three observations stand out:1. **Zoom buttons**: It would be nice to have dedicated buttons for zooming. It's not a major drawback, but zooming without using the pinch gesture on the phone would enhance the user experience. I feel like this should theoretically be feasible with iPhone's accessibility features, if there were more buttons and it didn't recognize it as a Braille device for some reason.(At least that's how iOS 17 recognizes it.)2. **Back tap workaround**: A neat feature I found is using the iPhone's back tap gesture (Settings -> Accessibility -> Touch -> Back Tap). By setting it to open the camera, you can double-tap the back of the Snapgrip Pro, activating the camera app without touching the phone screen.3. **Quick release for the hand pad**: A mechanism to swiftly move the hand pad out of the way, especially for the dock feature, would be ideal. Currently, adjusting the pad "behind the grip" is necessary to use it as a dock. A quick-release on the side opposite the screw hole would enable faster detachment for dock use. Perhaps this can be corrected in future iterations.Overall, I'm thoroughly satisfied with the Shiftcam ProGrip. It's comfortable and has a premium hand-feel and gives me the feeling of using a normal camera. It accomplishes almost everything I wanted it to do, but a few little tweaks would be appreciated.

Very good for iPhone photography. Battery life is good. Only wish is that it can triggerthe video function with the button.
