Taking photos with my Samsung Galaxy M31 mounted in the ProGrip is a million times better than using the phone alone. Everything feels better balanced, it’s easier to keep the horizon straight and there’s much less chance of camera-shake when you either dab the screen or use one of the phone’s buttons as a shutter. Shiftcam’s ProLens is available in a range of options including a 1.33x Anamorphic, 12mm Ultra-Wide Angle, 75mm Long Range Macro, 18mm Wide Angle, 230 Degree Fisheye, and 10x Macro. Mobile phone accessories run the gamut between trash and treasure. Go to any electronics store, and you’ll find a discount bin with shoddily-made smartphone accessories that won’t sell, no matter the price. However, there are still mobile-focused companies that will put long-term focus and attention into something, and I get the sense that ShiftCam is trying to be more on that end. The SnapGrip is not a product without faults, but I see reasonable explanations for its downsides, and ShiftCam has promised higher quality in the production run. Are There Alternatives? Other extras provided with the ProGrip include a hardened carry case, a shoe mount for accessories and two rubber runners, which allow the ProGrip to accommodate thinner phones. The ProGrip certainly clamped my 75mm-wide M31 tightly enough, but fitting those rubber runners is a fiddly job and I wouldn’t be as confident that a smaller phone would hold quite as firm.

Compatible with most mobile devices including iPhone, Samsung, Pixel, OnePlus, iPad, Laptops and more using ShiftCam Case or ShiftCam Universal Mount B&H – B&H is a world renowned supplier of all the gear photographers, videographers, and cinematographers need and want to create their very best work. I did hit a snag here in testing: the long, braided USB-C to USB-C cable provided in the box didn’t provide any charge when I connected it from ProGrip to my phone. Replacing the cable with a much shorter one did convince it to charge, so this is something you may need to watch for. ShiftCam ProGrip extras My observation however is that while the design of the grip gives a feel like handling a DSLR, it would have been nice if the shutter button also had a half-stop press feature for focusing before firing away and it could also have benefitted in providing cases for other flagship smartphones that have great cameras. The custom semi-hard case is nice, but there's only room for the ProGrip without a phone attached.

This is happening without adjusting the picture or focal distance. Not sure what to do. The ShiftCam ProGrip starter kit adds a more comfortable grip to every iPhone on the market, including the current iPhone 13 series. It also adds a simple-to-use Bluetooth shutter Samsung battery cells for longer shoot times and supports additional ShiftCam products such as pro-lens and pro-LEDs. The ShiftCam ProGrip can accommodate even a large phone like the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is also in a clear case here. (Image credit: Rod Lawton/Digital Camera World)

They’re designed to enhance the features already contained in your phone such as optical stabilization and low light functionality. These phone camera lenses aren't going to replace DSLR and mirrorless style cameras anytime soon but are an option worth thinking about if you know space is going to be limited and you don't want to carry any extra weight.Shiftcam was founded in 2017 with the goal of creating the best tools for smartphone photographers and filmmakers alike. They wanted to make professional quality films and photos accessible for creators without the budget for professional equipment.

If your phone doesn’t support wireless charging, you can use the built-in USB-C port to charge your phone by cable. The ProGrip can even be stood on end to double as a charging cradle while it does this. Even phone dimension of iPhone X and XS are same, but the rear camera module and distance between primary camera and secondary camera are NOT same. The MultiLens case protects your phone from damage due to dropping and gives you multiple lenses to choose from, without having to dig through your gear bag and attach them to your iPhone.I’ll come right off the bat and will say I am not entirely sold on the build quality of the ShiftCam ProGrip. The device is a plastic fantastic, which isn’t bad in itself, but I do have concerns. The main body of the ProGrip is solid. There’s no flex or play anywhere and it feels as tough as plastic can get. The grip is also beefy and well made. All of the buttons feel great as well. The part that concerns me is the spring-loaded phone grip. The top part that features the magnetic holder is fine, and to ShiftCam’s credit, it can be detached from the SnapPod tripod and used on any other tripod with its built-in 1/4-inch threading. As an alternative, I’d recommend the Manfrotto PIXI Mini Table Top Tripod, which isn’t that expensive, has a much better build quality and ball head design, and is exactly what I wish the SmartGrip was. When it comes to smartphone photography, the biggest brands in the industry gained their popularity for a reason. However, if you’re looking for something new to try, look no further than Shiftcam. If you’re a mobile creator that needs more than one lens at your fingertips, the Shiftcam MultiLens is for you. This versatile case is designed for use with iPhones only, so if you have an Android device, you’ll need to use a ProLens instead. No. They are uniquely designed for specific iPhone models and are notinterchangeable. (Unless stated otherwise)

The sample images that we got from the 75mm and 10X macro make it hard to believe they're taken on a phone camera.

There are other iPhone camera-grip-like products on the market, such as the Sibosz Smartphone Grip and ShutterGrip 2 Secure Camera Handle Holder. There's also Moment's extensive lineup of iPhone accessories that also include lenses and mounts. Due to the magnetic nature of these accessories, using the SnapGrip ecosystem is simple.
