Snappy could improve smartphone photography with a stabilized grip
Get a grip.
The Camera Control on the new iPhone 16 lineup is Apple’s attempt to improve the ergonomics of smartphone photography, but it doesn’t solve the problem of securely holding on to those smooth rectangular slabs while framing a shot. The Snappy’s motorized clamp works alongside an accelerometer to cancel out unwanted movement, but it only offers a single degree of rotational stabilization, so it’s definitely not an alternative to larger gimbals like DJI’s Osmo line. With Bluetooth, a motorized gimbal, an adjustable ring of LED lights, and the relatively compact size of the Snappy, other than delivery, our other question is what its battery life might be like when these become available starting in November.
