1.3 Magnetic Attachment
The MOCA Camera Grip attaches magnetically to your iPhone. For iPhone 12 and newer models with MagSafe, simply align the grip with the back of your phone until it snaps into place.

3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
The MOCA Camera Grip is made of durable, easy-to-clean silicone that resists odors. To clean, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
3.2 Battery Care
Regularly charge the detachable remote's battery using the provided USB-C cable to ensure optimal performance. Avoid fully depleting the battery frequently to prolong its lifespan. Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.
4. Troubleshooting
4.1 Camera Not Opening or Remote Functions Not Working
If the MOCA Camera Grip cannot open the camera app or if certain remote functions (like zoom, exposure, or focus) are unresponsive, verify the iOS Accessibility settings:
- Go to Settings > Camera > Enable Tap to Open Camera from Lock Screen.
- Check for any specific Zoom or other accessibility settings mentioned on the grip's handle sticker and ensure they are enabled.
- Ensure the remote is sufficiently charged and properly paired via Bluetooth.
4.2 Weak Magnetic Connection
If the phone feels unstable or detaches easily:
- Check Alignment: Ensure the grip is perfectly centered on your iPhone's MagSafe ring or the applied magnetic plate. Misalignment can significantly reduce magnetic strength.
- Case Compatibility: Thick or non-MagSafe compatible phone cases can interfere with the magnetic connection. Consider using a MagSafe-compatible case or the included magnetic plate.
- Magnetic Plate Use: If using an older iPhone model or a non-MagSafe case, ensure the magnetic plate is securely and correctly adhered to the phone or case.
