Leica launches an expensive iPhone camera grip

Let’s say you like the photo, but not enough to buy a real camera. You like your iPhone, but I would like it to be easier to capture when photographing. If you mark both of these boxes, and you have a cool 300 euros, the watering can just for you.

Meet the new GRIP for the iPhone. This is a clutch with a camera. For your iPhone. And it is done by Leica, so it is automatically expensive and “Lux”. Lake says that the clutch “looks like a classic Leica camera in terms of its processing and feelings”, and we do not doubt it for a second. It weighs “simple” 130G and “is equally suitable for users of the left and right”. The battery lasts up to 1000 shots and charges in 2 hours through USB-C.

It has a “clear design”, “complex operating concept”, and it joins through magsafe. GRIP is associated with the phone via Bluetooth Le and comes with its own application: Leica Lux application.

The handle has a two -stage shutter production, which focuses when it presses slightly and begins to remove with full press. On the clutch there is also a button for quick switching between the shooting modes. Two additional controls (button and dial) can be assigned and configured through the application. By default, the button gives you quick access to the frequently used functions, and the dial “provides an accurate choice of camera settings”, such as the scale, aperture, shutter speed and compensation for the exposure.

So, with the help of Leica Lux Grip, “photographers have all the important aspects of the image of the image in their hands, even when using a smartphone.” When you replace your iPhone, you can re -use the handle, you only need to replace the base plate of Magsafe.

The application adds “unmistakable aesthetics of the image and color of the legendary lenses Leica”-think about Summilux-M or Noctilux-M Bokeh. You also get a unique Leica, which looks bright for a classic black -white one to expand your art palette. With each registration of Lux GIP, you will receive a subscription to the professional version of the application for free for one year.
