ShiftCam SnapGrip Creator Kit User Manual

Introduction

The ShiftCam SnapGrip Creator Kit is an all-in-one solution designed for content creators, vloggers, influencers, and mobile storytellers. This comprehensive kit enhances your mobile photography and videography experience by providing stable grip, versatile lighting, and flexible positioning.

The kit includes three primary components:

• SnapGrip: A magnetic mobile battery grip with a wireless shutter button, providing a comfortable and secure hold for your smartphone.
• SnapPod: A versatile accessory that functions as both a tripod and a selfie stick, offering stable support and extended reach.
• SnapLight: An LED ring light with four adjustable brightness levels and a built-in mirror, perfect for illuminating your subjects and enhancing selfies or video calls.

This kit is designed for effortless magnetic mounting, working seamlessly with MagSafe-compatible phones and cases. For devices without MagSafe, a magnetic sticker (sold separately) can be used to ensure compatibility.

4. Attach SnapPod: The SnapPod can be attached to the bottom of the SnapGrip or directly to your phone/case if it has a standard tripod mount. It functions as both a stable tripod and an extendable selfie stick.
