The MagCam 2 features a built-in 3000mAh battery.
Can I use the MagCam 2 with an Android phone?
The MagCam 2 is designed primarily for iPhones and relies on the PGYTECH Pro Imaging App, which is iOS-exclusive. While the magnetic grip may attach, full functionality is not guaranteed on Android devices.
How do I charge the MagCam 2?
The MagCam 2 itself can be charged wirelessly via its Wireless Charging Module, which doubles as a power bank for your phone. Ensure the Wireless Charging Module is connected to a power source.
What is the purpose of the custom dial?
The custom dial allows for precise, fingertip adjustments to camera settings like focus, exposure, and ISO without needing to touch the phone's screen, offering greater stability and control.
Does the MagCam 2 work without the PGYTECH Pro Imaging App?
Basic functions like shutter and zoom may work with the native iPhone camera app via Bluetooth. However, advanced features such as manual controls, filters, and custom watermarks require the PGYTECH Pro Imaging App.
How do I attach the MagCam 2 to a non-MagSafe phone?
The MagCam 2 comes with a magnetic ring that can be adhered to the back of a non-MagSafe phone or its case. For optimal performance and secure attachment, using a MagSafe-compatible case is recommended.
Can I use the MagCam 2 as a standalone grip or remote?
Yes, the modular design allows you to detach the Bluetooth Remote Module to use as a pocket shutter or use the Grip Module as a standalone grip or compact power bank.
