And he uses MagSafe!
- ShiftCam’s SnapGrip is an iPhone camera grip that can be attached to MagSafe.
- Probably the easiest to attach phone camera mount.
- However, you may still find it easier to carry a dedicated camera.

As soon as the iPhone camera was worth using, additional iPhone camera grips appeared. But so far they’ve all been more difficult than carrying a separate camera.
iPhone cameras are excellent, but when it comes to taking photos, the iPhone itself lacks usability. It’s hard to hold, pressing the screen to start the shutter means taking your eyes off the subject, and while you can use the volume buttons as a shutter button, half the time you’ll probably be accidentally pressing the standby button. ShiftCam’s SnapGrip fixes all that and does it with MagSafe. But can it really turn a phone into a batter camera?
“As much as I tried, I can’t interact with a smartphone like a camera. My preference is still point-and-shoot via a smartphone. I doubt one take could change that,” photographer and photojournalist Hamish Gill He told Lifewire via direct message.
Explode!
There have been plenty of iPhone camera grips over the years, and I’ve had my fair share of criticism. Some are part of a housing, some dock and provide nothing more than something to hold, while others provide a hardware shutter to make them feel like a real camera.
ShiftCam’s SnapGrip takes Apple’s MagSafe connector and goes crazy. The unit is a combination battery and camera grip. It sits on the back of the iPhone and snaps together using MagSafe magnets, making the phone easier to grip and adding a familiar shutter button. The battery charges the phone, but it doesn’t stop there.
One of MagSafe’s tricks is to allow some sort of low-level accessory chaining. For example, you can add a MagSafe case and still stick a MagSafe charging disk on the back. In the case of SnapGrip, you can stick additional camera accessories on the ShiftCam. At launch, it features an LED light (which can be tilted for hot selfie action) and a tripod/selfie stick mount. There is also a ShiftCam case that can be used under all other accessories.
ergonomics
The design of film cameras was born from a mixture of ergonomics and necessity. The aperture was controlled by a ring around the lens because that’s where the aperture is. Just like the focus ring. This had the side effect of allowing these settings to be easily adjusted without thinking. The shutter button was moved from the front of the camera to the top, the exposure compensation dial replaced the film speed (ISO) dial as they basically set the same thing, etc.

Digital cameras mimic these unconventional control layouts or mix them with freely assignable dials and touch controls. But no matter how they work, digital cameras are purpose-built and still easier to hold and use than an iPhone.
“The first thing that came to mind when I saw this is that it makes camera phones more accessible,” photographer and fashion designer Nuria Gregori told Lifewire in an interview. in person. “For example, people who find it difficult to hold the phone due to their age can take photos more easily.”
collective
One of the biggest downsides to those extra grips is that they make your iPhone look as bulky as a camera. An iPhone is a great camera because you can take it out of your pocket and be ready for action right away.

The SnapGrip is probably the fastest-deploying accessory grip we’ve seen, but you’re unlikely to put it on to take a single shot. So the question is, if you know you’re going to take a lot of pictures and you’re willing to carry around a larger device to do so, why not just use a dedicated camera? For starters, it’s better than its larger sensor and sleeker lens, as well as its expanded low-light capability and the like. you will get better results.
SnapGrip is currently on Kickstarter, but ShiftCam already makes iPhone camera cases, grips, lenses, and other accessories, so Kickstarter feels more like a promotional tidbit than a fundraising goal, especially since it doesn’t yet have a launch date or price. But if you know you want a grip, this one really seems to be achieved.

And it uses MagSafe!
ShiftCam’s SnapGrip is a MagSafe-attachable camera grip for the iPhone.
It’s probably the easiest-to-attach phone cam grip ever.
But you might still find it easier to carry a dedicated camera.
SnapGrip
Add-on camera grips for the iPhone appeared as soon as the iPhone’s camera was worth using. But until now, they’ve all been more hassle than just carrying a separate camera.
The iPhone’s cameras are amazing, but the iPhone itself is ergonomically lacking when it comes to snapping pictures. Gripping it is awkward, tapping the screen to fire the shutter means taking your eye off the subject, and while you can use the volume buttons as shutter buttons, half the time, you’ll probably just press the sleep button by mistake. ShiftCam’s SnapGrip fixes all that, and it does it with MagSafe. But can it really make a phone into a batter camera?
“I can’t, as much as I’ve tried, engage with a smartphone as a camera. My preference is always for a point & shoot over a smartphone. I highly doubt a grip would change that,” photographer and photography journalist Hamish Gill told Lifewire via direct message.

There have been plenty of iPhone camera grips over the years, and I have reviewed my fair share. Some are part of a case, some clamp on and provide nothing more than something to hold, while others provide a hardware shutter-release button, so they feel like a real camera.
ShiftCam’s SnapGrip takes Apple’s MagSafe connector and goes crazy. The unit is a combination battery pack and camera grip. It snaps onto the back of the iPhone, and aligns itself using the MagSafe magnets, makes the phone easier to hold, and adds a familiar shutter button. The battery pack charges the phone, but it doesn’t stop there.
One of MagSafe’s tricks is to allow a kind of low-level daisy-chaining of accessories. You can add a MagSafe case, for example, and still stick a MagSafe charging puck to the back. In the SnapGrip’s case, you can stick extra photo accessories to the ShiftCam. At launch, there’s an LED light (tiltable for hot selfie action) and a tripod mount/selfie stick. Plus, there’s a ShiftCam case, which can be used under all those other accessories.

One of the biggest downsides of these add-on grips is that they make your iPhone as bulky as a camera. An iPhone is a great camera partly because you can whip it out of your pocket and be ready to go in a second.

The SnapGrip is probably the fastest-to-deploy accessory grip we’ve seen, but it’s still unlikely that you’re going to snap it into place to take a single photo. So, the question remains, if you know you’re going to be taking a lot of photos, and you’re willing to carry a bigger device to do it, why not just use a dedicated camera? You’ll get better results from its larger sensor and fancier lens, for a start, plus extended low-light capability and so on.
The SnapGrip is currently on Kickstarter, but ShiftCam already makes iPhone camera cases, grips, lenses, and other accessories, so the Kickstarter looks more like a publicity grab than a funding drive especially as there’s no launch date or price as yet. But if you know you want a grip, this really does look like the one to get.
