This is really cool. This thing just came out. It's called the Pro Grip from Shift Cam
0:04
It really takes your smartphone photography to another level. It's multifunction. It's a full
0:10
out dock. We're spinning. It has a battery in it, wireless charger. And if I go ahead and click the
0:16
Qi on, there you go. A shutter button and a variety of accessories that you can add to it
0:22
and snap some photos. I mean, that's honestly, that is such a satisfying experience. You can
0:28
use this with a variety of products including pixels and samsung devices actually this one
0:33
fits really well and now i'm doing it with a pixel so it's truly a universal grip in that sense
0:39
it's got the grip the wireless power bank built in not only can it charge the phone that's sitting
0:45
in it but also external devices connected via usb look at this so there's in the dock mode
0:50
which can be in landscape or portrait for video conferencing and stuff while it's charging your
0:55
device. That showcases the wireless charger which is in there. Now apparently you're going to get
1:00
like three times the battery life while shooting photos and video that you would typically get on
1:05
your phone inserted in there. Three times more footage in a day. Some of the accessories you can
1:11
add to it include another hand strap, cold shoe mount, and external lighting. Full light, mini
1:17
light, LED. This charges over type C. You can also hook the whole thing up to a tripod if you
1:25
want to. Now this is what the stuff looks like for iPhone 12. We have the iPhone 13 stuff. Retail
1:32
packaging not there yet but it will be if you order it right now. You're going to get retail
1:37
packaging for the iPhone 13 stuff. Originally they were lens adapters. High quality lens adapters
1:44
for iPhones and other smartphones. So here's an example of an 18 millimeter Pro lens and there's
1:52
a universal mounting system to allow it to clip on to any smartphone but of course the cases are
1:58
even better because that's going to be a twist to fit and these are going to be compatible with all
2:03
their cases for a variety of devices so 18 millimeter wide angle long range 75 millimeter
2:10
macro that's going to let you capture like bugs and stuff i mean it could you can get a bug
2:17
You know what? I like bugs. I've always liked, since I was a kid, you inspect the bugs and whatnot
2:23
But this, let's get closer. Crazy wide fisheye 230 degree pro lens
2:29
Anamorphic 1.33 times pro lens. Get those lens flares. What is it
2:34
JJ Abrams? Is he the one that's known for it? Traditional macro, which is 10x or 25 millimeters
2:40
And there's a telephoto 60 millimeter pro lens. Look what that one's for
2:46
It's for your foods. It's for your portraits. And look at that. They won a CES Award 2020 for Innovation
2:52
Red Dot Design. I am most excited about this program. This thing is out of control
2:58
A lot of people doing more professional stuff on their phones these days
3:02
Why wouldn't you? They're such amazing video makers. But the ergonomics have never been great
3:08
You've got a couple fingers on your whoo. You're a little nervous
3:14
This gives you that professional grip. but you can share stuff right away You want to go straight from this You want to go to your TikToks You want to go to your YouTube shorties You all set Feel like a pro
3:27
Shoot like a pro. A little bit of paperwork. Ooh, look at that. An actual thick warranty card
3:33
Thank you for purchasing ShiftCam. This thing is brand new. This just came out
3:37
It was on pre-order on the site. You can actually order it now. Everything in the starter kit fits into this nice little travel case
3:45
which has a hard shell but like a fabric exterior protect all your goods nice little zipper crack it
3:52
open and there it is wireless charger in the center here in the pro grip is this spring loaded
3:59
it is look at you look at you you're a street photographer you're a documentary filmmaker
4:08
You're an action sports capturer. That's you. You're a nature photographer. You're a bug hunter
4:18
Am I rapping right now? How much better is that than having to tap the screen
4:23
You could do a two handed thing. Zoom, bam, zoom, bam. We can see the battery life LED indicator
4:30
There's a chi on and off for the wireless charger housed beneath this section right here
4:36
and a Bluetooth connect button. As you can see down here, we have that quarter thread for mounting
4:42
whatever variety of accessories, USB-C to charge the whole thing up. Fairly long braided Type-C cable
4:51
Shift Cam branded. Also remember, this is a power bank. Okay, last accessory in the package is here
4:58
Yeah, that's gonna go there. This is gonna be a good spot to install a light
5:03
or any other cold shoe accessory. Yeah, so that fits on right there like that
5:08
And then we can come in with a light, let's say, for the rig
5:14
Ooh, look at the soft little... That is going to slide on here
5:19
And this thing is going to work independently. This nice little light. But whatever accessory you want to put, you might have external audio components
5:25
Now check this out. The whole thing spins for portrait, which so many people shooting stuff in portrait now
5:31
No problemo. It can do that. this piece comes off on screws look at how they balanced it and then you would have this
5:42
charging up and you would wirelessly insert it's a pro max 13 you would be like this into your dock
5:51
it's charging wirelessly via chi i mean because we're going to be plugged into the wall at that
5:55
point and we're video conferencing or we're spinning and we're in landscape watching videos
6:02
and stuff so it's a sturdy dock as well this is the black model little insert look at how serious
6:11
those threads are for their lens system this thing just pops in now the reason this is good is because
6:18
you can unpop take it out when you're just out and about and maybe you want a more streamlined
6:24
kind of look this is a almost leatherish texture to it plus it looks like it's magsafe compatible
6:31
This is like a light grey colour. Here's the thing, you can get these lens adapters in the case on its own if you want
6:38
and then later get the ProGrip Drop that on Grip drop that on And drop the case in
6:50
Very simple installation. So you're going to get the protection associated with the case as well, right
6:58
It's still a case. And then your camera cut out on the back here
7:02
Now what's cool about this Pro Grip is since it's going to fit almost all smartphone sizes
7:08
Like I could pull out, you know, maybe my preference is Pixel. And maybe I have some other case
7:13
It doesn't matter. It's still going to be okay. I can just insert like this
7:18
We're going to have Qi wireless charging. Camera is still exposed. Actually, this one fits really well
7:22
And now I'm doing it with a Pixel. So it's truly a universal grip in that sense
7:28
Okay. We'll leave it in landscape for now. You see how all your mounting points are available to you
7:33
and you get the portrait capability as well. This is going to be useful for us in the studio
7:41
Look at this. Brilliant. Alright, there we go. So you connected a Shift Cam Pro Grip just via Bluetooth
7:49
You don't need any separate app or anything like that. Now there's a separate button for Qi on and off
7:53
for the wireless charging. We can just slide the phone ever so slightly out
7:57
to access those two buttons. And if I go ahead and click the Qi on
8:03
There we go. Sick. Charging. Indicator lights. That's it. There you go
8:10
So whether you're using the power bank to charge up the phone or using the wall
8:16
so you just switch back to the power bank, either way you're sending extra power to the phone
8:21
Bluetooth is now connected, so I should be able to go to the camera app and snap some photos
8:28
I mean, that's honestly, that is such a satisfying experience. Just clicking a shutter button instead of tapping a screen
8:37
Even if you don't get any of the lens adapters or even if you don't go crazy with accessories
8:44
just that makes it feel so much more professional and like a thing that you could have for extended periods of time
8:52
You add the second hand and you have tremendous stability, obviously. Simple little, now I'm portrait
9:00
And this is even probably less comfortable place to shoot when I'm doing portrait video, as you can see here
9:07
Same setup. Oh, wow. Give me a serious knife, Mo. Really step things up over here
9:14
Very sharp. Snowflake. Nice unboxing experience. Check it out. 10X macro dome on the front
9:23
Still letting light in even as you get incredibly close to objects
9:28
And you've also got this universal mount. Then it doesn't matter which phone you have
9:33
This will allow you to orient the lens in front of your lens
9:38
no matter what your device, and give you another cold shoe mount
9:42
So this is your 1X camera. Now, typically on smartphones, that's the optimal one
9:47
This is an actual threaded screw-on. Cool. Boom. Macro. Let's try to get even closer to something
9:57
Oh, check that out. Wow So some really cool macro images here Like this is tiny It looks big but like that the size of it compared to my finger That little backpack
10:16
Look at the texture on the baseball. So, yeah, macro's cool. Long-range macro, what they call it
10:23
This is going to let us be a little bit further away and still get the macro effect
10:27
Wow, that's a piece of glass. Holy cow, that's going to let us get a little further away
10:31
look at this that is some glass tons of macro detail on that main camera sensor
10:42
that's cool once again a fairly nice piece of glass it's definitely wider you see how tight that is right there got it all right now i'm gonna go
10:53
screw this on and look how much room is around him and it's giving us a lot more room to work with look at
11:02
this so i snap a photo and then press and hold the shutter in case i want a video now i'm rolling
11:09
video what happens when i release it is the video off it is genius so here's some photos off of
11:17
the 18 mil wide angle. Very nice looking stuff. Let's go ahead and try one more. How about the
11:25
230 degree fisheye? How's that for a piece of glass? Cool. Oh, wow. That's a music video from the 90s. Beastie Boys? Absolutely. Full Beastie Boys
11:42
Everything. The whole studio. I mean, Willie Do's practically in the frame all the way halfway
11:46
way down the hall. All right, we're now shooting a video with the fisheye 230 degree ultra wide
11:54
We're going to take a walk over to the table. And yes, we're inside of a fishbowl. Check the effects
12:05
Well, what if you like went in and around? damn this is fun this is fun do you even need a camera in 2021 like dedicated i don't know man
12:28
it's a lot of flexibility here there's even some other accessories here look at this little
12:33
lens pen with a brush and a cleaner on it and of course the travel pod mini which has its own clamp
12:40
in it as well. It's just a wide variety of products to enhance your video making and photo
12:47
making capabilities on your smartphone. Doesn't need to be an iPhone. Lots of different phones
12:53
supported. Remember, especially when it comes to the Pro Grip here, if it fits the Pro Max
12:58
it's going to fit almost anything. Charging over wireless, charging over Qi, shutter button for
13:04
more comfort quarter thread on the top for accessories and then the whole thing turns into
13:10
a wireless charge dock slash external battery that can charge other devices and works
13:16
