An excellent explanation of the Fjorden Grip and how its design and functionality go way beyond other iPhone grips in the market.📸

[@gorri012]

Please let the new blackmagic design video app integrate the use of the grip - that would be a blast

[@fjordenco]

Hi - it would be great if you reached out to Blackmagic and requested the integration! The integration has to be implemented on their side, but we would be delighted to provide the SDK/API and help with the implementation wherever necessary!

[@PhillipAMoePhotography]

Great video and helped me make my purchase decision looking forward to it arriving. I also love the app and that it is free and works great even without the grip, looking forward to adding the grip.

[@stevewturnbull]

This is great. Really clear and well presented. I like the look of Fjorden very much and applaud how you've created a clever, pocketable solution to a genuine set of iPhone photography problems. Looking forward to giving it a go!

[@WestonWoodfin]

Stumbled upon this the other day and found it really interesting. I would love to give it a try! Just bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max and have been taking a ton of photos with it. Looking forward to the new cases being in stock!

[@zptaco]

This video helped me decide on purchasing this case! Thank you Victor

[@ArminHirmer]

Have it and it is just amazing when you want to level up your iPhone photography. The app is perfect and the grip awesome

[@fjordenco]

Thank you, Armin!

[@srinyacharya]

What a brilliant design !!! well done sir. I will be getting one

[@user-cp3me8rv4o]

I purchased the Fjordan grip recently. I found this tutorial very helpful. Thank you

[@JoeCastellon]

This is so well thought out!! Well done!!! I definitely could use one.

[@Pablosan7]

Kjempe fint, den må jeg eje! ...hun kunne i det mindste have smilet 😄

[@Cyberhome1972]

Received mine today, the Ultimate bundle for iPhone 15 Pro Max. Everything is well thought and designed. It will be my secondary camera on field. Apple store employees here in the US were Wow. Will take it out for my son’s graduation ceremony for a blast. Wish me luck 🎉🎉🎉

[@othoapproto9603]

Just Pre-Ordered mine, So So Cool.

[@tdalton854]

Very nicely done Video. Not sure I need this or not but it makes sense. thanks

[@Mr-Royn]

SO MUCH CREATIVITY. HATS OFF. JUST ABOSLUTELY FANTASTIC PRODUCT. Please just make the case look better.

[@s.baumann6665]

I love my grip since the first day on my Smartphone ❤

[@martee4]

Just got the Fjorden grip today and I really wanted to like it. I opted for the adhesive adapter since the iPhone 15 Pro Max case isn't set to release until November. The hinge is rather weak. It's already falling back a few times when using as a stand in portrait mode but that's sometthing I can deal with. Another issue I have is that there some wiggle between the grip module and the adhesive plate. Is this wiggle apparent even with the actual iPhone case? I'm hoping they fixed this issue for the iPhone 15 Pro cases....

[@rajivpsaini]

Great product - features, aesthetics and the App. And Excellent presentation- simple informative to the point 👍

[@Bikepacking]

This would be amazing for my world tour bikepacking where i be documenting my adventure every week on KZbin

[@CHICOZTACOS]

I don’t know if I need this or not but, that was such an excellent explanation from an extremely likable guy, I feel inclined to support them anyway!

[@fjordenco]

Thanks @chicoztacos!

[@earlfenwick]

Very inspiring! Subbed. Do you use crop mode for m42 lens?

[@Zable24]

Lovely product, with so many features and beautifully designed! Really hope you can figure out how to make it work fully with the upcoming final cut camera app! A couple things i felt could be added: i would love to see the grip be able to be charged from the magsafe attachment to the phone, similar to how some batteries are able to draw power from the phone, could mean you dont need to worry about replacing any internal battery! Going further, i would happily have a beefier grip if it meant being a portable battery pack for the phone as well!

[@player1tv]

Bloody impressive ! - How does it mount to a car mount?

[@mjfotografiedeNeuried]

Please include a 3:2 aspect ratio, so one can match shots with other camera systems

[@feniks6000]

Looks amazing! Hoping for a version that supports android at some point in the distant future!

[@OuterEdgeOutpost]

If the auto and manual options are separate from the “video” option does that mean you don’t get manual controls for video…?

[@createdbyLez]

I had commented that the previous video was….old….and very brief. So I’m pleased to see your new release….which is sadly already out of date 🤦🏼‍♂️😆 can we expect an updated version to cover the video option and other new features in the latest update ?

[@andr3w_hilton]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I got my grip a few days ago and am absolutely loving it so far. Cam I ask a quick question, when I have the grip on and am scrolling through the film presets what does the IDEN one do, it only seems available when I am using the grip and "scrolling" through the options.

[@fjordenco]

Hi Andrew - thanks for the feedback! That's actually a bug, IDEN was a preset we used in internal testing, so it shouldn't have been visible in the public release. We'll remove it :-)

[@andr3w_hilton]

​@@fjordenco Hahaha no worries at all, thanks for clearing it up for me, it doesn't look to change anything visually on the screen so I was trying to figure out what it was. I can stop my brain wondering now. Have a great week, I am off to shoot some urban architecture with the grip as reference material for my sketchbook. 🙂​

[@calvinbell2925]

Is there a setting for rapid/action shooting?

[@iC3bErG2020]

Do you plan to develop any SSD attachment solutions especially for the 15 pro max? IT would be nice to find a way to integrate at least a 2230 form factor nvme drive.

[@johanfjellstrom1913]

My grip does not open the app. When I press the shutter button the volym control shows, but no camera! I have registered successfully and the grip is synced with bluetooth. Firmware is latest. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max. When I try to open app manually it asks me to register again. What to do?

[@nickjewett3560]

Great Grip, I'm finding it's a little slow to fully change modes. For example when doing a close up in manuel mode the EV turns gray, then toi get EV back I have to switch to Auto mode and back to Manuel. Also it's slow to acquire a good close focus.

[@PastorShayne]

The adhesive would work well with polar pro peoducts

Brilliant product, great design and the quality of the grip is just a dream. The only thing I find lacking (the only thing) is that I wish the grip was a tad wider out, big hands struggle with it (I have seen it with my friends who tried it) and even I, who has small hands, find that either my pinky goes numb after a while or I get frozen claw syndrome 😆. I ended up sticking a thin stripe of a lightly cushioned material under the grip, about the same thickness, but just a smidgeon more, so my pinky at least does not goes catatonic after a while. It does cover the battery, but I can always peel it off when it is time to change it. This is probably one of the best purchases I have made in a while.

[@Oo2k10]

Can you still use the app even if you don’t have fjorden grip?

[@tommyferraz3872]

Working on a version for accommodating an external SSD for 15 Pro's?

[@baatkarlo]

How about Fjorden grip integration with Adobe Lightroom Mobile, Photoshop, Rush and Premier Pro? Is this something Adobe and Fjorden can work on to bring to market via the API?

[@createdbyLez]

Oh….and I have my grip constantly attached to my iphone 14 Pro Max and find it very easy to pop away in the pocket. I did purchase a couple of moment lenses which sadly don’t work too well with my model of iphone 🤷🏼‍♂️ unless you have suggestions?

[@fjordenco]

Hi - Moment has a new series of lenses, called the T-Series, which is optimised for the iPhone 14 and newer models (www.shopmoment.com/t-series). They'll also be available for pre-order on our website soon!

[@TalZKazaz]

Love it and enjoy mine. I still don’t understand how to turn off the device. I usually live it to turn automatically but my battery draining. Any advice?

[@ChristelleArmonio]

Hi! Glad to know that you enjoy using the Fjorden grip! It will turn itself off after 5 minutes of inactivity, as long as the Fjorden app is not in the foreground. You wake it up by pressing the shutter button.

[@teveo2103]

Where can I find the FJORDEN MAGSAFE CASE for the iPhone 13?

[@johanfjellstrom1913]

How do I return this product?

[@marktherutherford]

Does the he current camera software support a RAW format other than ProRes? Adobe Camera Raw does not do AI functions like AI Denoise on a partially processed ProRes file.

[@fjordenco]

Hi Mark - yes, you can choose to shoot in either RAW or ProRAW! Cheers, Victor

[@laplus9534]

I was really waiting for the updates. is there any chance to make for iphone 15 serise?

[@fjordenco]

Yes - you can already pre-order our cases for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max on fjorden.co (they will ship in November)!

[@danilo2567]

is it the same case or there will be differences?@@fjordenco

[@BootheNation88]

Will the IPhone 15 model cases work with the Moment T-Series lenses?

[@ChristelleArmonio]

Hi! yes, it will work

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

yes, but have to buy T series adaptor(saw around 8-10$ costs on moment site

[@mjfotografiedeNeuried]

How can I keep the Raw setting permanently, also after closing and reopen the app? Thanks

[@TeamFjorden]

Hey there. This is a bug in the current version, we will ship a fix for it in the coming days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[@mjfotografiedeNeuried]

@@TeamFjorden Thanks, great

[@user-rz9sy1zz7j]

I open my phone, press the fjorden foto app, & nothing happens. I will give it one more day, then demand my money back. Any suggestions?

[@TheJenner]

Hi, you show how you use a macrolens from moment. But what about using tele, wide and anamorphic lenses. I cant see that you have support for setting up different lenses, and the Procamera from Moment doesnt seem to be able to connect to Fjorden grip (only Osmo). So why are you advertizing each others products when you cant use them together. Its a bit annoying, that I cant use the grip with my lenses on the camera!

[@VictorHenning]

Hi - Fjorden does work with Moment’s Wide and Tele Lenses as well! Unfortunately, not the Anamorphic Lenses, since the Fjorden App doesn’t offer Anamorphic De-Squeeze. As for the Moment App: Their team reached out to us about integrating the Fjorden Grip controls, and we provided them with our SDK. Please reach out to them and let them know you’d like to use the integration as well 🙂 Cheers, Victor

[@toxotis70]

Why don’t you make a MagSafe versiontoo?

[@fjordenco]

Hi - sorry for the belated reply! We do offer a MagSafe Adapter: shop.fjorden.co/en-eu/products/fjorden-magsafe-adapter

[@createdbyLez]

Did I miss how to assign the function button ?

[@fjordenco]

Tap the Fjorden Grip icon in the App. There is a setting called "FN Button", which lets you choose from a variety of different features.

[@ks2401]

Hi R u upgrading it to be used for iPhone 15 Pro max?

[@ChristelleArmonio]

Hi Fjorden was designed to be compatible with multiple generations of iPhones. The Fjorden Grip is separate from our iPhone cases, and we'll be making new MagSafe cases for every new generation of iPhones. When you upgrade your iPhone, you can transfer the Grip over to the new phone - it only takes a second because Fjorden attaches with a Quick-Release Clip. Visit our website at shop.fjorden.co to order!

[@ks2401]

⁠@@ChristelleArmonio Thanks for your response. So unless and until you upgrade the grip, the grip is good for ever to be used with any generation of iPhone as long as the MagSafe case is updated. My question was in relation to different sizes of phones and I got the answer. So the grip size is 1, but cases can be different. Makes perfect sense. Thanks. I am impressed with your product but ‘importing’ it to Canada is becoming way costlier. $60 for ultimate bundle is very high imho. Infact, at that price point of CND$320, free shipping would attract more people towards your product.

[@kayodeoseni2999]

Can I use this on iPhone 15

[@fjordenco]

Yes - with our MagSafe Adapter: shop.fjorden.co/en-eu/products/fjorden-magsafe-adapter

[@arshamt]

Very interesting… but i’m seeing only pro and pro max case. How about standard iphone users? An iphone 14 using moment lens

[@fjordenco]

Hi @arshamt - yes, unfortunately we only make cases for the Pro/Pro Max phones, since we didn't have enough demand for the standard iPhones. For those, you can either use the MagSafe Adapter, or (if you don't really use MagSafe that much) the Adhesive Plate, which is more pocketable, but covers the MagSafe area.

[@arshamt]

@@fjordenco thank you for your quick reply. One last thing.... i dont use the magsafe. but i do have the moment silicone case for moment. will the adhesive plate "stick" firmly on the moment case?

[@fjordenco]

Hi @@arshamt - yes! I've tried our Adhesive Plate on the Moment silicone case, and it sticks very securely.

[@arshamt]

@@fjordenco brillant. Thank you very much.

[@arshamt]

@@fjordenco is there a new grip which will be released in december? on your website it shows the basic bundle on preorder and wont be shipped until december. but there's the same grip on amazon which is already available. is that an older version?

[@UnOeufff]

Does this work with Moment lenses??

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

yes. This company sells moments lenses too. I saw Moment T series is good for the latest iPhone and better than M series(shown by some expert on youtube)

[@maeu59]

Very nice but only as good as the phone it’s connected to.

[@Chriswoodworker]

im left handed, will this work?

[@ChristelleArmonio]

Unfortunately, Fjorden is only suitable for right-handed use. I wish we could offer a left-handed model, but our volumes are still too small to cover the manufacturing cost for a left-handed model. Hopefully, in the future, we'll get there!

[@jesperatjesperat]

Make one for Samsung

[@ganganthefatman1382]

77

[@paulgrosse7631]

With the cost of an iPhone, surely, it would be better to have an actual camera such as (again, thinking of the price of an iPhone) a small Leica such as a D-Lux 7 then you have Leica glass as well (you can argue whether you have actual Leica glass or not but that is not the point).

[@RAZ-man]

Pease support Android

[@lamarineta6825]

Cuidado con esta gente, pretendian cobrarme aduanas, porque el aparato lo envian desde China, ahora lleva retenido mas de una semana en aduanas y esta gente ni se molestan en contestar a mis correos

[@GeorgeStar]

Genius! Any plans for an Android version?

[@ChristelleArmonio]

Hi @GeorgeStar, Android is not available at this time but hopefully soon!
