Grip&Shoot Review

The Grip&Shoot is a very interesting iPhone accessory. It allows you to take pictures and record video using what looks and feels like a gun grip. The grip itself is controlled via Bluetooth and can be used up to 100ft away from the phone. Which also makes it a great remote shutter. You attach your phone to the grip with a plastic case that has a special connector on it. The Grip&Shoot comes with a 3V, 2032 Coin Cell Battery which will last for up to 10000 clicks without needing replacement.

Whats in the box:

2 Shooter Cases (iPhone 5/5S & 4S)
Bluetooth Smart Grip
Grip Adapter
Leather Carrying Pouch
Wrist Lanyard

Installation was ridiculously easy, just download the Grip&Shoot app, activate Bluetooth and start the app. Click the trigger on the smartgrip and the phone immediately finds the Grip&Shoot. And that’s it, ready to go.

The case is also really easy to remove.

Everyone knows videos shot with your phone can be very shaky, the Grip&Shoot overcomes this surprisingly well. The Grip&Shoot fits very well in your hand. With a steady grip there is little to no shakes in videos shot. And photos taken are also improved, but the effect is most noticeable when filming.

The bottom part of the grip can be removed and attached to the case to be used as a stand. So you can set down your phone and trigger it from a distance. You can also attach it to any standard tripod, which is a great bonus.

Besides the trigger button there are two buttons on the front + and -, you can use these buttons to zoom in.

Grip&Shoot also comes in black.

Also Grip&Shoot are currently looking for app developers to help turn the Grip&Shoot into a mobile gaming accessory, or anything else you can imagine. I can definitely see how this could be a cool gaming accessory.

The GRIP&SHOOT™ System was designed with an open API so other app writers may utilize all the features of the Bluetooth Smart Grip.
