Leica iPhone Grip

Leica just dropped an interesting new accessory to pair with their Leica Lux app—a MagSafe Bluetooth grip for iPhones, with half-press to focus and function shortcut buttons.

As functional as it looks, I have to wonder: how many people will shell out $329 for it, even with the included one-year Lux app subscription?

If it was a universal grip that I could use with my iPhone and my Android, maybe I would consider it more, but then again, I care a regular camera with me everywhere I go, so it’s probably not for me.

I still love that Leica and others are releasing modern accessories like these.

As always, your mileage may vary, so use what’s helpful. Discard the rest. ✌️
