A grip for smartphone photography
In 2024, Belkin took advantage of CES in Las Vegas to unveil its Stand Pro motorized support, which allowed you to transform an iPhone into a PTZ camera.
This year, the American company is taking advantage of the tech event to lift the veil on the Stage PowerGripan accessory that improves the ergonomics of MagSafe compatible iPhones for photo use. Straight from the colorful design of certain cameras Instax Minithis grip seeks to combine aesthetic, comfort et advanced features for mobile photographers.

Our first opinion
With the Stage PowerGripBelkin offers an elegant and functional solution for iPhone photography enthusiasts. Her retro designin large battery capacityand its practical functions (shutter button, kickstand, MagSafe) make it a must-have tool for content creators.
However, impossible not to see here a way for Belkin to strongly copy the formula of ShiftCam’s SnapGrid launched in 2020 on the Kickstarter financing platform. If the Belkin version has a battery almost 3x more capacity and faster charging, we find more or less the same functions, in a very very (very) similar design.
However, the strike force of Belkin and its distribution network should ensure this product good visibility for those wishing to improve photo ergonomics They are iPhone.
