Following an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020 which raised over $700K, the ProGrip Starter Kit comprising of a ProGrip, 1.5m USB-C cable, pouch, hand strap, cold shoe mount and adapter is now available from Amazon and ShiftCam for £129.99/$149.99/€149 in charcoal and ash.

Now there’s a phone grip that is substantial, well designed, soundly built and feels great in your hand! It works with BlueTooth and has rechargeable batteries that will charge your phone if it gets low on juice. The camera can be set to vertical or horizontal orientation, and the device serves as a phone stand with both horizontal and vertical positions. Take a look at Rad Drew’s video below.
ProGrip is designed as a camera-like grip that allows users to securely and comfortably carry and shoot on a mobile phone. Bring back index finger shooting as, with a built in Bluetooth shutter button, it is easy to click and photograph as with a traditional camera. ProGrip also doubles as a Qi wireless battery bank which can charge a mobile phone during shooting so always ready and charged for the next adventure. With a universal fit and a built-in pivot rotation, ProGrip can be seamlessly snapped onto any device and rotate to take the perfect shot. Users can thus switch from landscape to portrait without changing the grip position of the hand.
In addition, the designers also incorporated features such as cold shoe mount and tripod screw to the grip, allowing photographers to attach any favorite gear to complete the ultimate mobile photography and videography experience. As a bonus feature, ProGrip can also be used as a charging hands free dock for those Netflix marathons.
With the launch of the ProGrip, ShiftCam is on the rise to become one of the trend setters of the Mobile
Photography Industry. To stay ahead of the game, the ShiftCam design team went back to its photography roots to understand what is missing from the picture.
The designers recognized that one of the major differences experienced when it comes to shooting on a mobile phone is that it just doesn’t provide the security and balance of a traditional DSLR camera; especially while shooting for long periods of time across different locations.
That is why, during product development, the ShiftCam team concentrated on creating something that focuses on comfort and functionality to further optimise the mobile photography and videography experience.
The aim was to create a product that can close the gap by combining the accessibility and convenience of a mobile phone, along with the familiarity and control of a traditional camera. Thus, the creation ofProGrip, an innovative reassuring ergonomic battery grip for your mobile devices.
“We started ShiftCam with the aim of giving people the tools to take excellent quality photographs on the move, capturing those precious moments in our lives. Whether that be a child’s first steps, a bride walking down the aisle or a breathtaking sunset ShiftCam offer ergonomically designed photography accessories to make snapping a photograph, a selfie or Instagram story an absolute breeze.” said KL, founder and CEO of ShiftCam.
“Even for the keen photographer, accustomed to carrying back backs full of heavy camera equipment, the ShiftCam accessories enables great quality photographs when that unexpected moment occurs that just has to be captured.”
Over the last three years, the ShiftCam team has worked diligently to perfect their products. Their previous campaigns include the MultiLens cases for iPhones, as well as the ProLens Series which feature 6 distinct professional grade lenses that can be attached to mobile phones. Also, ShiftCam has also been recognized by well-known media such as Mashable, CNET, Forbes, and Tom’s Guide. With the launch of ProGrip, ShiftCam will establish itself as one of the industry’s top players.
