Belkin’s PowerGrip adds a magnetic battery and shutter button to your iPhone


Belkin has announced the Stage PowerGrip, a magnetic battery pack that doubles as a DSLR-style ergonomic grip for iPhone photography, a phone stand, and a spare wired charger for your other devices. It’ll be available in May, with pricing info coming later on.
The PowerGrip is an odd-looking accessory until you see it attached to a phone. It’s clearly designed to evoke the look and feel of a traditional camera. It features Bluetooth pairing to enable the “shutter button” on the top of the grip to let you take pictures with the iOS camera app.
Besides that, the PowerGrip has a built-in retractable USB-C cable for charging other devices and a 10,000mAh battery. It offers wireless 7.5-watt charging for the attached iPhone, and a small LED screen on the front will show how much battery it has left. Belkin says it will come in powder blue, sandbox (a grayish sandy color), fresh yellow, black, and pepper (a nearly black dark gray).
Belkin’s take on this is similar to others you can find on Amazon, though mostly those are from brands with alphabet soup-style names. Apple sells one version of this concept called the ShiftCam ProGrip. Like Belkin’s devce, it adds a physical shutter button to your phone and doubles as a charger, but it costs $149.95. Belkin hasn’t announced pricing for the PowerGrip, but assuming it’s cheaper, it could be well worth a look if you’re into iPhone photography.
