We were sent ShiftCam’s latest pieces of kit to check out, and they’re all intriguing in their own way. We’re not entirely sure they’ll appeal to everyone, but their quality can’t be denied. So let’s take a look at each of them one by one…

SnapGrip

Let’s start off with the SnapGrip, by far the heftiest piece of kit of the three. Fixing onto the back of your phone (it prides itself on latching onto any device) it effectively makes it feel more like a professional camera – giving you more grip, as the name would suggest.

It allows you to take photos via a button on the top corner, and easily detaches via magnets. There’s also a built in battery pack and the ability to wireless charge the unit.

This unit is initially a little fiddly to get on your phone, but once it’s fixed on we found it to be an impressively sturdy add on – although there’s no doubt it comes more into its own when combined with the other two items. Which brings us onto…

SnapLight

A small yet impressively powerful light, the SnapLight does what it says on the tin – it fits simply onto the circular front of the SnapGrip and provides more light than any phone flash could ever hope to offer.

It’s incredibly light – just as well considering the bulk of the SnapGrip – and has a built in mirror for you to see yourself. Why? Well that brings us onto the third member of the ShiftCam team…

SnapPod

This is definitely our favourite of these pieces of kit. Fixing onto the SnapGrid securely, it can be a lightweight (yet never flimsy) selfie stick – but then the bottom can split out and become a mini tripod.

This – along with the SnapLight’s mirror – can really help you capture the perfect images or have the perfect set up if recording a vlog (for example).

In summary

We think this latest kit from ShiftCam is of an impressively high quality and sensibly priced. It’s admittedly not going to appeal to everyone – not all of us want to take constant selfies or record vlogs, as hard as that may be to believe – but it’s worth consideration if you want to explore these areas, or are simply looking to add a bit more class to your mobile photography and videography.

It’s nowhere near as clunky as other add-ons of its type, and all three items work seamlessly together.

The SnapGrip, SnapLight and SnapPod are available to pre-order now from the ShiftCam website here. They’ll be launched very soon.

The SnapGrip makes producing quality photographs and videos an absolute breeze – it really is as simple as snap, grip, shoot!

The SnapGrip system comprises of a SnapGrip, the SnapLight LED ring light and the SnapPod tripod all of which attach together magnetically. Each component can work individually, together, and in any combination. SnapGrip is a portable, lightweight compact grip, dock and charger that allows users to shoot on a mobile phone quickly, securely, and comfortably. With a universal fit and magnetic mounting system, it’s easy to attach – everything simply snaps on. SnapGrip works with virtually any smartphone and is MagSafe compatible.

By focusing on the essential parts of a DSLR, ShiftCam has kept the design of SnapGrip minimal.  It has a wireless shutter button and it also doubles as a Qi wireless battery pack which can charge a mobile phone.  Its pivot system makes it simple to switch between landscape and portrait, The Snaplight, which helps to eliminate harsh shadows and provides soft, even lighting can point in the direction of the rear camera or flip backward as required and has four levels of brightness to choose from. The SnapPod can be used as a tabletop dock or as a video selfie stick.

SnapGrip is available in a choice of Midnight, Abyss Blue, Blue Jay, Chalk Pink and Pink Pomelo, designed to complement and enhance any mobile phone.

DON’T MENTION

 

 

I am sure you can understand ShiftCam are keen that you’re fully aware of the pre-production nature of these samples, and that you are well informed of the changes made ahead of products arriving with customers.  Therefore we would respectfully request if you feel your experience with these pre-production samples will negatively affect your review, that you consider waiting as we would be more than happy to send you more samples from the full production run.

 

I would really appreciate it if you could send me some quick feedback based on this email. Thank for your understanding and I look forward to hearing from you when convenient.

 

P.S.  Unlike ProGrip, which is more relevant to keen or professional photographers, SnapGrip is designed to offer the magnetic experience to the mass market and to appeal to the social media generation, to content creators and of course, selfie lovers everywhere!

 

Thanks and enjoy your weekend.
