"The imaging capabilities of many smartphones may now rival dedicated cameras, but their ergonomics do not. Belkin's PowerGrip solves that with a DSLR-style grip on one end giving you a secure way to hold your smartphone while taking pictures, even with your phone in portrait mode. The PowerGrip also has its own shutter button, positioned on the top edge of the grip so it sits beneath your finger, that snaps images using a Bluetooth connection to your phone."
"Apple sells a similar accessory through its website called the ShiftCam SnapGrip Pro for $90 but its battery is limited to 5,000mAh and it can only charge two devices simultaneously. Belkin's PowerGrip is more capacious and can charge up to three using its magnetic Qi charger, a USB-C port, and a built-in retractable 30-inch USB-C cable. It also has a small LCD display on the front showing its remaining battery capacity and a screw mount on the bottom of the grip."
Announced at CES 2025, Belkin's Stage PowerGrip is available for $79.99. The accessory combines a DSLR-style grip and a top-edge Bluetooth shutter button to improve smartphone ergonomics and shooting in portrait orientation. The PowerGrip supports charging up to three devices via a magnetic Qi charger, a USB-C port, and a built-in retractable 30-inch USB-C cable, and it displays remaining battery capacity on a small front LCD. It also includes a screw mount on the bottom for tripod attachment. A competing product, the ShiftCam SnapGrip Pro, retails for $90 but has a 5,000mAh battery and charges only two devices.
