You can find power banks with wireless charging and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/9\/5\/24225379\/ugreen-uno-usb-charger-power-bank-hub-gan-emoji-robots-price-specs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than 9,300mAh capacity<\/a> for less than that, but Belkin has packed a lot of extra functionality into its latest that could justify the price if you\u2019re a smartphone photographer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The imaging capabilities of many smartphones may now rival dedicated cameras, but their ergonomics do not. Belkin\u2019s PowerGrip solves that with a DSLR-style grip on one end giving you a secure way to hold your smartphone while taking pictures, even with your phone in portrait mode. The PowerGrip also has its own shutter button, positioned on the top edge of the grip so it sits beneath your finger, that snaps images using a Bluetooth connection to your phone.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/belkin2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0.083333333333336,0,99.833333333333,100\" alt=\"A close-up of the Belkin Stage PowerGrip accessory in black.\" title=\"A close-up of the Belkin Stage PowerGrip accessory in black.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;Available in powder blue, sandbox, and black color options, the PowerGrip includes a USB-C charging port and a built-in 30-inch retractable USB-C cable.&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Belkin\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Belkin\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Apple sells a similar accessory through its website called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/HS482ZM\/A\/shiftcam-snapgrip-pro-with-next-generation-powerbank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ShiftCam SnapGrip Pro<\/a> for $90 but its battery is limited to 5,000mAh and it can only charge two devices simultaneously. Belkin\u2019s PowerGrip is more capacious and can charge up to three using its magnetic Qi charger, a USB-C port, and a built-in retractable 30-inch USB-C cable. It also has a small LCD display on the front showing its remaining battery capacity and a screw mount on the bottom of the grip for attaching it to a tripod.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belkin\u2019s PowerGrip improves your smartphone\u2019s ergonomics while you\u2019re taking photos. | Image: Belkin First announced at CES 2025, Belkin\u2019s Stage [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
