About Shiftcam Snapgrip Montimi I Fotografisë Celulare Snapgrip

Të pasionuar për fuqizimin e krijuesve celularë, sistemet SnapGrip shërbejnë si një paketë veglash përfundimtare për krijimin e përmbajtjes që përmirëson përvojën e shkrepjes në celular. Duke u fokusuar në gjërat thelbësore të një DSLR, SnapGrip është një dorezë fotografike celulare kompakte dhe ergonomike që përdor një lidhje magnetike dhe siguron karikim me valë nëpërmjet një baterie të integruar. Me një kapje të thjeshtë magnetike të fortë, SnapGrip lidhet shpejt dhe sjell menjëherë komoditetin e një kapjeje me madhësi të plotë, duke përfshirë një buton diafragmë për shkrepjen me gishtin tregues në telefonin tuaj.

Production Technology: Form follows function is our main design mantra and without sacrificing ergonomics and functionality we created an, as compact as possible enclosure to hold the key components. Minimizing footprint, to improve portability, the internal construction and assembly process became more challenging. As the SnapGrip holds your phone in place by magnetic force, a large part of development and research has gone into finding the correct strength that gives you that secure feeling for worry-free shooting.
Design Challenge: SnapGrip was created with the full mobile creative workflow in mind to offer an all-rounded solution. Every component was built from the ground up to support its intended functions. Designing an ecosystem of products in times of COVID has been a challenge. With team members spread out across the globe, being able to effectively communicate engineering changes and create alignment between all stakeholders without meeting face to face has been the most challenging task we encountered.
Research: Reaching out to our existing customer base we created focus groups to learn more about the needs of content creators and their workflow. We realized that they are always on the go and in need of a compact, portable ad-hoc shooting system that enhances their phone. What started as only a Snapgrip rapidly evolved into an ecosystem of products. Empower the users' mobile creative workflow at every stage so that they can gear up, shoot, edit, (re)view, and share their content on the go.
Inspiration: With a passion for empowering mobile creatives, we aimed to create the ultimate content creator toolkit. An ecosystem of products that enhance your mobile shooting experience. By focusing on the essentials of a DSLR the Snaprgip makes shooting on your mobile phone comfortable and fun again. Whether an avid Instagrammer, crazy about TikTok, or a Facebook fan keen to share cooking skills, SnapGrip disappears within the experience and allows you to focus on what matters - Your content
Project Duration: The SnapGrip project started in March 2021 with concepting and preliminary engineering. In May 2022, SnapGrip was launched on Kickstarter as ShiftCam's biggest product launch yet raising over USD 840,000 with more than 6600 backers. With key project management in Hong Kong, design and engineering in the Netherlands, and assembly in China, the production of SnapGrip started in July 2022. The product will officially launch in retail in October 2022.
Operation Flow: Just Grip, Snap, Shoot. With the magnetic system, the SnapGrip is very intuitive in use as it automatically snaps into the correct position on your phone. Additional accessories can snap magnetically to the SnapGrip, your phone, or each other. A SnapLight beautifully illuminates your subject while the SnapPod allows you to frame your shot as a tripod or selfie stick, or just mounts a light for you. The SnapGrip ecosystem is designed to seamlessly integrate into the content creation workflow.
