The PhotoGrip Qi helps the person behind every group photo step into the frame. Its grip, removable shutter, standing base and mini tripod form a compact phone-photography kit, provided the recipient's phone and case fit the stated dimensions.
The verdict
PhotoGrip Qi is a specific Adonit model, not a generic camera-style phone grip. Its detachable shutter, self-standing base, included tripod and 3,000 mAh Qi battery add useful options, but only when the phone fits and supports the relevant features. Measure the recipient's phone with its case, confirm Qi support and review the current compatibility notes before treating this as a surprise gift.

The phone and case together must stay within the grip's limits, but Adonit's own pages currently disagree on the width range: the product page says 58 to 85 mm and the support page says 67 to 83 mm; both state a 10 mm maximum depth. Measure the assembled device and ask Adonit about borderline sizes.
No. The phone must support Qi wireless charging and sit correctly against the charging surface. The grip can still be used for photography when charging compatibility is absent, provided the phone fits.
Adonit states up to 10 metres. Walls, interference, phone settings and the remote battery can affect real-world range.
