    Easiest to set up than any other device I've used! Gives me full control of my camera, I can take cool creative shots and work with whatever lighting I have. I use this with my Google Pixel 2 phone.

    With this device my iphone is a full fledged camera. I bought the first generation and love it. It was super at my grandson's T-ball games not having to carry my big cameras. This device allows me to use capabilities of the camera that can't be accessed with the iphone alone. I am able to access everything while not having to lower the phone and muddle through the camera app.

    After figuring out how to attach the smartphone to the Pictar, it was very easy to see how to use this attachment. If you already use a dslr camera, this will be a piece of cake to use. The controls are very similar to a dslr. This is a great item to own in addition to other attachments to your smart phone...

    Really enjoying my new Pictar. I use it on my iPhone x and it fits with my case though it might be a bit harder for a thicker case. I use it for taking photos for my E-commerce business and it's AMAZING! I am able to adjust the light and look of the photo before I even take it! Highly recommended

    My wife loves to take pictures. This gives her more a feel of using a camera instead of just her phone. She has a Galaxy Note 8 and it fits perfectly.

    This item works as advertised on my iPhone XR. It doesn't really make your phone like a DSLR but it does provide a lot of functionality on top of your current camera app. That said I still prefer a real camera. It would still make a great accessory but unfortunately not for me.

    We like the way it works the only issue we have is it goes thru batteries very fast. At least the first one. Maybe it was old to start with.

    The phone accessory added no change to the photos. Each time you use the camera you have to remove the phone case. No worth the price

    I purchased this as a gift and picked it up in the store. I delayed in giving it to my wife. She opened it, put it on her phone and didn’t want it. We traveled right after. I tried to return it in store and was told I couldn’t be auto was outside the 14 day window. I’ve never returned anything to Best Buy. I was told there was nothing to be done. The item is sitting in a box in a drawer. I will no longer be shopping at Best Buy.

    As a photographer, i wanted to have a better grip and better control of my phone photos, and this has helped! Perfect for my LARGE Galaxy Note 8, it looks nice. having a comfortable one hand grip, and a more sytable 2 hand grip with a traditional button adds great utility to the phone's camera!

    This is a well made and fun addition to my phone camera. It was a breeze to set up, no wires or bluetooth connection necessary, and it's a lot of fun to use. Really does give you the camera experience with intuitive features and great photos.

    Ooh, cool!

    Another toy for the photo fanatic. I take many photos with my iPhone in the streets of NY, due to the fact that I don't want to be noticed. This little device is amazing, gives you amazing control just like a DSLR. It'll definitely improve my iphoneography game. It will take some playing around with the Pictar software for me to get comfortable but I was super excited to see the words "ISO," and "Manual" on my iPhone.

    Use your camera one-handed!

    The description of the product being ergonomic was an important point for me. And once I had the camera in my hand, it was perfect. I didn't even feel like I needed to get used to it, it was comfortable right away! So I really love that I can convert my iPhone into a "hand-held" camera in that sense. I was also super impressed that there's a manual function and you have the option to adjust shutter speed and ISO....on an iphone!! So cool! There's also an Auto setting that you can use it on, of course. Also, I like taking videos and I was worried that video wouldn't work or that the volume wouldn't work since the phone connects to the camera grip by the speakers. But it worked totally fine. Volume doesn't seem to be affected, so I was happy about that. Also, if you're worried about whether your phone can fall out of the grip, don't be. It felt totally secure.

    Well packaged, app guides you through the first few pictures and steps to use all the settings. Zoom is in the right place - easy for one handed photography. I really like that nothing needs to plug into my phone and that I did not need to have to connect to yet another bluetooth device.
