FAQs
How long does the SnapGrip battery last?
The SnapGrip has a 3200 mAh battery. This is designed to significantly extend your phone's shooting time, often providing an additional full charge or more depending on your phone model and usage.
Can I use the SnapGrip with any phone case?
The SnapGrip works best with direct phone attachment or very slim cases. Thick, rugged, or cases with unusual textures may interfere with the magnetic connection. Some users find success with a metal ring sticker applied to their case.
How do I charge the SnapGrip itself?
The SnapGrip is charged via its USB Type-C port. Connect a USB-C cable to the port and a power source.
Does the Bluetooth remote require a separate app?
No, the Bluetooth remote pairs directly with your phone's native camera settings. No additional app is typically required for basic photo and video capture.
What is the weight and dimensions of the SnapGrip?
The ShiftCam SnapGrip weighs approximately 126 grams and measures 113 mm in width, 81 mm in height, and 34 mm in depth.
Can I use the SnapGrip as a kickstand while charging my phone?
Yes, the SnapGrip can function as a phone stand even while it is charging your phone, allowing for hands-free viewing during charging.
Is the SnapGrip water-resistant?
The SnapGrip is not designed to be water-resistant. It should be kept away from water and moisture to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
SnapGrip not attaching securely
Ensure your phone or case surface is clean and free of debris. If using a case, it might be too thick or have a texture that interferes with the magnets. Try removing the case or using a metal ring sticker for better adhesion.
Bluetooth remote not connecting
Make sure the SnapGrip's battery is charged. Try re-pairing the device by turning off Bluetooth on your phone, pressing and holding the remote button on the SnapGrip until it flashes, then re-enabling Bluetooth and selecting 'SnapGrip' to connect.
Phone not charging when connected
Verify that the USB Type-C cable is properly connected to both the SnapGrip and your phone. Ensure the SnapGrip's internal battery has sufficient charge. Try a different USB-C cable.
SnapGrip feels unstable when rotating
Ensure the magnetic connection is strong. The 180° rotation is designed to be firm yet movable; if it feels loose, re-seat the grip firmly onto the phone.
