Works Well. Not dissappointed.
Pros: Lightweight, fit well to any of our family’s phones, and was easy to insert the battery and attach to the phone through compression. It holds well and does not slide or slip off the phone. The remote control detaches easily from the main unit and is put back into the body fitting just as easily. The remote range was about 35 feet before the remote became intermittent, which is far beyond the distance it would be used anyway. Electronics are simple in construction and direct in design. No design flaws observed that would lead to the wifi not working.
Cons: The unit is plastic and cannot take too much hard impact. It was not made to be ruggedized.
Overall, it is a recommendation to others looking at this item.

Nice camera phone tool.
Very solid and good quality product. I like the size grip for my long fingers that always come in front of the camera lens when taking pictures or videos.
The only issue I have is the size of the hold fingers are a little short on the top and bottom for my Samsung phone and it’s very hard to open up the springs.
The instructions booklet recommends removing the battery when not in use which is OK but that opening and closing of the battery cover is a little problem to deal with. There’s must be a better way for this little bug. I gave it 4 stars but I highly recommend it.

Tried it out on vacation – fantastic
I needed something to hold my Pixel Pro 6 Phone (works just as well on iPhone) while taking video on vacation. To start and stop I had the option of pressing the button on screen, which is very awkward or press the volume button. Both of them are awkward. I bought the KIWIFOTOS to make it feel like a SLR camera. In addition I bought a neck strap screw and a wrist strap, in case it would slip out of my hand.
Took it on vacation to the far east and it performed real well. Easy on and off, by first hooking the spring element on the phone, then pull the other end over the opposite edge of the phone. It has a blue tooth clicker built in. Once the blue tooth is paired, it will do so automatically from then on. The clicker can be removed in case you want to mount the camera on a tripod and operate it from a distance.
Now when I take pictures, I can hold it in one hand and press the clicker with one finger and the picture snaps. For video I usually steady the phone with both hands. It made taking video/pictures very easy and I took 7+ hours of video and 753 still pictures. By the way, my phone does not have the capacity to hold 7 hours of 4k video. So I offloaded my videos and pictures every day onto flash drives.

Totally worth the price!
I originally ordered the Shiftcam Pro grip which is a great product, but I just couldn’t justify the price. It is bulkier, and built really well but for my use this KIWI is perfect.
It’s built fairly well for the cost. I wasn’t expecting anything more in that department. After struggling to open the battery compartment…it is really tight…my S22 Ultra paired up quickly via Bluetooth. It is very responsive when pushing the shutter button for photos or video, and I like the position of the button. It’s located in a very natural position much like the Shiftcam for more of a DSLR feel. Also my S22 Ultra fit very secure in this little grip.
My only con, and it’s probably just because of my hand size…sometimes the fatty portion of my palm will activate the return feature of my cellphone screen…taking my screen off of camera mode back to the homescreen. Not a big issue, and your palm may be smaller than mine.
Overall if you enjoy taking photos with your cellphone, and you are like me…tight with your money ð this will work just fine for you. Oh I almost forgot…I like the added feature of being able to mount this to a selfie stick or tripod with the ability to use the removable shutter button, and use it remotely.
Great portable cellphone camera grip ðð¼

Great item for the serious amateur photographer. Really makes the phone feel like a camera.
I’ve seen similar items, some with extra features, on sale for a lot more money. This little item ups the comfort level of using a smartphone as a camera, especially for the serious amateur photographer. The grip is intuitive and well made. Does it make the existing camera in your smart phone better? Only insofar as it makes the phone more fun to use as a camera. Basically it is an ergonomic grip with a bluetooth shutter release. It does not have zoom control nor does it have exposure controls. Those are all available in photo editing apps. It does make the phone more bulky and less pocketable but the grip is easily removed and reattached. And on vacation or out shooting photos for fun I’m gonna have my phone in my hand anyway. If I have to fault anything it is the little instruction sheet. Sparse and little confusing as the parts and functions are not well labeled. And you might want to enlist the aid of a magnifying glass if you’re past a certain age.

Muy práctico para tomar fotos con más seguridad, equilibrio y estabilidad, salvo porque hay que colocar el teléfono, para más comodidad, sin funda, de lo contrario entrarÃa un poco forzado, por lo demás resulta muy útil!!

Spinto anche dalle recensioni positive ho voluto acquistare questo stabilizzatore per smartphone. Si adatta benissimo al mio Samsung Galaxy A54 5g. In dotazione arriva anche batteria da inserire nel telecomando bluetooth e un laccetto molto comodo. L’accoppiamento bluetooth con il telefono e semplicissimo. Quello che mi è piaciuto moltissimo è la comodità dell’impugnatura che ti da la sensazione di avere una reflex in mano. Ottimo il tempo di risposta quando si preme il pulsante per scattare la foto. Comoda la slitta superiore per installare microfono o luce led cosa che ho fatto io acquistando la luce rgb Ulanzi VL49. Molto soddisfatto dell’acquisto.

I wasn’t expecting much given the low price, but I’ve been surprised by just what a handy and sturdy little product this is. Yes, it’s basic but it’s also well made and so easy to use. Highly recommended.
