Belkin’s new power bank gives your smartphone a camera grip for $80

Smartphones today have impressive imaging abilities that can match dedicated cameras, yet they often lack in design for comfortable handling. Belkin’s PowerGrip addresses this issue with a DSLR-inspired grip that offers a firm hold on your smartphone for photography, even when held in portrait position. This accessory includes its own shutter button placed conveniently on the grip’s top edge for easy access, allowing you to take photos via Bluetooth connection to your device.

Apple provides a comparable product named the ShiftCam SnapGrip Pro available for $90 on its site, although it only features a 5,000mAh battery and can charge two devices simultaneously. In contrast, Belkin’s PowerGrip boasts a larger capacity and the ability to charge three devices with its magnetic Qi charger, a USB-C port, and a built-in 30-inch retractable USB-C cable. Additionally, it features a small LCD screen on its front to indicate remaining battery life and includes a screw mount at the grip’s base for tripod attachment.
