PGYTECH MagCam2 Mobile Camera Handle Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The PGYTECH MagCam2 Mobile Camera Handle is a versatile accessory designed to enhance your mobile photography experience. It features a modular split design, magnetic attachment, Bluetooth remote control, and wireless charging capabilities, allowing for comfortable grip, effortless recording, and creative flexibility.

2. Product Overview

The MagCam2 consists of three main components that can be used together or separately:

• Bluetooth Remote Control Module: Detachable for remote shutter control.
• Charging Handle Module: Provides an ergonomic grip and can function as a portable power bank.
• Wireless Charging Magnetic Bracket Module: Attaches magnetically to your phone and supports wireless charging. It can also transform into an EDC (Everyday Carry) stand.

3. Setup

3.1 Assembly

The MagCam2 features a modular split design for easy assembly and disassembly. Simply align the modules and snap them together. The Bluetooth remote control module can be detached from the handle for remote operation.

3.2 Magnetic Attachment

The wireless charging magnetic bracket module attaches to your phone using a strong MagSafe magnetic design, providing 25N vertical suction for a firm and stable connection.

• For MagSafe compatible phones: Attach the magnetic bracket directly to the back of your phone or MagSafe-compatible case.
• For non-MagSafe phones (e.g., Android): A magnetic ring can be used to enable magnetic attachment.

Precautions for Magnetic Attachment:

For optimal adhesion and performance, please note the following:

• Directly stick the magnetic ring on the back of the bare device.
• Heat from the phone may affect the adhesive strength of the strong glue.
• Not applicable to matte glass, silicone, leather, wood, fabric, or surfaces with waterproof coatings on the phone or case.
• The surface to be pasted must be flat; otherwise, the adhesion will fail.

1. Ensure the remote control module is charged.
2. Press and hold the 'Photo/Record/Focus Button' and 'Power Button' simultaneously for 3 seconds.
3. On your phone, go to Bluetooth settings and select 'MagCam2' to pair.
