So, you’ve got the Leica Camera App on your iPhone, but something still feels… incomplete? Fear not, dear shutterbugs! Leica has swooped in to save the day (and your Instagram feed) with the all-new Leica LUX Grip for iPhone.
This MagSafe marvel snaps onto your iPhone, transforming it into a bona fide Leica camera. Well, sort of. The LUX Grip boasts a two-stage shutter button, customizable function buttons, and a control dial, all designed to make you feel like a pro. Just don’t forget—it’s still an iPhone under there.
But wait, there’s more! The grip pairs seamlessly with the Leica LUX App, offering you a plethora of features—assuming you’re willing to shell out for a subscription after the included one-year trial. Because nothing says “premium experience” like recurring payments.
With a battery life of up to 1,000 shots and a two-hour USB-C recharge time, the LUX Grip ensures you’ll only miss capturing the most fleeting of moments. And for those who like to accessorize, Leica even offers a $60 leather case for the grip, complete with an AirTag pocket—because losing a $329 gadget would be tragic.
The Leica LUX Grip is now available in select Leica Stores, online, and at specialty retailers. The price? A cool US$329. It’s not cheap but it does have one major perk. If you register the Grip, Leica will throw in a 12-month Lux Pro for free.
