PGYTECH Retrova Grip Kit – Physical Camera Controls for iPhone 16 Pro Max

PGYTECH Retrova Grip Kit is an innovative solution for filmmakers and photographers using the iPhone 16 Pro Max. This grip and case set not only offers a stable hold but also physical camera controls that enhance your photography experience. With its advanced features and sleek design, this kit is ideal for both amateurs and professional filmmakers.

Features and Benefits

The grip is equipped with a two-stage shutter button, allowing you to focus by pressing the button halfway and then take the picture by pressing it all the way down. Additionally, there is a lever, a control ring, and multifunction buttons that let you adjust focal length and shooting settings without having to touch the screen. The connection is via Bluetooth, making it compatible with both the built-in camera app and the PGYTECH Pro Imaging App. The battery life is impressive, with about 48 hours on a single charge, which takes approximately 1.5 hours to recharge via 5V/0.3A.

The case is made from high-quality PC material with an elegant finish in black lychee-grain leather and a CNC-machined lens ring. The MagSafe feature is fully functional, allowing magnetic accessories and wireless charging to work seamlessly. The base of the grip has a 1/4" 20-thread for tripods and extension poles, and both the case and grip have holes for carrying straps that can support up to 20 kg.

External Recording via microSD

One of the standout features is the built-in microSD slot that allows recording directly onto a memory card with USB 3.1 speeds of up to 312 MB/s. It supports UHS I and UHS II microSDXC, SDHC, and SD cards. For video recording, you can capture in RAW format, ProRes, and HEVC, including 4K at 30 fps and cinematic 24 fps. Please note that external recording is not available at 4K 60 fps and higher.

PGYTECH Pro Imaging App

The companion app offers film filters and a retro interface with manual control over shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. Its processing reduces the standard over-sharpening of the iPhone for a more natural result. You can also add style markers and adjustable frames to complete your images. In combination with the microSD card, this allows for full-format recording.

Expandable System

With the included lens adapter ring, the set is prepared for optional PGYTECH telephoto lenses and filter adapter rings, sold separately. This kit can grow without needing to replace the grip or case. The 1/4" 20 socket on the base of the grip fits standard tripods and extension poles.
