Ulanzi Cap Grip II - Quick Review

[@wingandhog]

I think you're displaying the CG01. I don't know why the packaging box shows "CG01" - "Bluetooth Smartphone Cap Grip II". It is very confusing. The CG02 actually has a fill light where the mirror you show sits. The updated CG02 also has a few other features.

mine must be the older one..

I feel like they should let you use your own phone clamp. It's nice that they provided one, but I use my tripod on a quick release plate.

[@aunsoh]

indeed!

[@gigahertzmedia734]

@@aunsoh I just realized that I can use a quick release plate with it...

New subscriber here. I like your simple approach to reviews. The mirror is a great idea! I was confused about it at first, too.

[@aunsoh]

thanks! trying to keep it simple...

[@kymmoulds]

Well done review and thanks for taking the time to make it. A BIG thumbs up.

[@aunsoh]

Hope you got yours !

How to take photos in an app other than the native iOS camera

[@aunsoh]

U can download other apps like halide or pro camera etc

To add cold shoe, I just buy a phone clamp holder with a cold shoe. I clamp Capgrip to my phone and then I clamp the cold shoe phone holder next to it.

[@aunsoh]

thanks..that's what I also did for my ulanzi capgrip version 1

[@kangzau1006]

Nice review. Can you show actual use and walk around to take a few pics? What different about taking your cell phone out and snap some pics?

[@aunsoh]

Great idea...will put this down and see if I can do just that

[@topcat20201961]

Mirror is for making sure your hair and makeup is right for selfies etc.

[@aunsoh]

ya!

[@charruaporelmundo]

What if in a case.. no one use the phone without them

[@aunsoh]

It can still fit with a case

[@limseehong]

Nice upgrade. I have version one.

[@aunsoh]

Yeah.. it is definitely a better version

[@thermometer_5944]

Hey Chris! Good review! Do you think this Grip will fit an IPhone 13 mini? I am scared that it will be too big for it haha

[@aunsoh]

yes it will for sure..

[@ynotthepanda213]

What phone is that? I have a 14 pro max with a case, I’m scared it might be too tight. Telling from how hard it was to slip the phone in. Have you tried using it with your phone case?

[@aunsoh]

I don't have 14 pro max...but it works good with 14 pro

[@Bikepacking]

Does it fit iPhone 12 mini

[@aunsoh]

yes

[@sitoudien9816]

Ulanzi could have added a light instead of a silly mirror. Snap grip did it.

[@aunsoh]

yes...if only they have light too..but alas..maybe v3 ...

[@sitoudien9816]

@@aunsoh Sometimes I think the manufacturer omits features to get users to upgrade to the latest. V1 didn't even have a cold shoe mount. Wtf? A light would have been a no brainer. Kiwifotos V1 has a grip with cold shoe and 1/4 thread mount from the get go. And it's less than $20. Snapgrip is very polished device in the Apple vein. But you have pay extra for the basics.

[@goldenrule1948]

No mention of detachable remote trigger😤

[@aunsoh]

ah yes..it has that...I should have mentioned it...
