Leica Camera AG has launched the EUR 300 Leica LUX Grip for iPhone, which is similar to a classic Leica camera in terms of its handling and feel. Its clear design, sophisticated operating concept, and easy attachment – guaranteed by secure magnetic MagSafe technology – improve the ergonomics and functionality of smartphone photography, taking it to a new level. The LUX Grip and iPhone communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and are perfectly complemented by the Leica LUX app. Last year, Leica acquired accessory maker Fjorden Electra AS, along with the Leica LUX app.
All of the LUX Grip’s two-stage shutter release focusses using light pressure and starts shooting when fully pressed down. A button allows you to quickly switch between shooting modes. Two control elements can be individually assigned and customized via the Leica LUX app. While one button provides quick access to frequently used functions, the easy-to-grip control dial enables the precise selection of camera settings – such as zoom, aperture, shutter speed and exposure compensation.
The Leica LUX app rounds off the photographic experience by adding the image and color aesthetics of legendary Leica lenses. The bokeh effect of the Summilux-M or Noctilux-M can be used to deliberately emphasize features while retaining full control over exposure, ISO, and shutter speed. The full version of the app is included for one year with every Grip product registration.
Weighing just 130 grams, the Leica LUX Grip weights 130 grams and is charged using a USB-C connection.
