Almost Perfect

This is a very thoughtful, well designed product. Clearly the work of someone who actually dreamed of using their phone like a real camera. My only concern is the Zoom lever feels a little flimsy, will probably break at some point. A few areas for improvement- there should be an audio cue for the shutter, it’s a little hard to tell when the thing has gone off. And you should be able to assign the shutter to the Fn button. Short fingers will appreciate the ergonomic flexibility. Well done, Fjorden! 👏 I love my Grip.

Great and not so much

This is a review of both the Fjorden App and the Fjorden grip system. So far the app is terrific. It is so deep that I’m struggling to figure out all its settings, but I’m really impressed so far with its integration with the grip. It gives one very immediate and fairly direct access to the panoply of settings. My complaints are primarily about the mag safe adapter. I just don’t understand what it is for. The magnet is simply not strong enough to ensure a reliable connection between the adapter and the grip and the phone. I’ve been very impressed by the mechanical connection between the grip and the phone case (although I worry that parts of that connection may become less solid over repeated use, particularly the hinge on the grip and the friction fit rubber dots that lock the grip into the bottom of the case). Luckily, the mag-safe adapter adds very little important functionality to the case for me. The cold sho may be important to others but it seems kind of flimsy and I would not trust the magnets to hold any additional weight. The one thing I really miss is that this mag-safe adapter is the only way to attach the phone to a tripod. No way I would trust MagSafe to securely hold my phone. This is the main reason I passed on the ShiftCam grip. In the end, I’m glad I did because despite the exorbitant price, the combination of the Fjorden grip and the Fjorden App is incredibly powerful and completely unique.

Good build quality but frustrating features/control

The device fits well and feels good with slight rubber grip feeling but the zoom feature seems broken, when i zoom using the zoome lever in auto mode the zoom sometimes wont stop, and then it gets stuck on the last lense and won’t pull back, so far it’s pretty unusable for me. Then there’s the issue with portrait mode only working with Face. On the native iPhone camera app, I can control the aperture and move it to 2.8f but on the Fjorden app it only applies what looks to be a intense “blur”’filter to everything around the image accept the face and it looks fake and I can’t control the intensity, it makes objects right next to the face blurry when it should be within perspective. Frustrating because I like the product but right now I can’t utilize it fully, it’s mainly a glorified camera grip with a shutter button because I don’t use manual mode becuase I can’t control the depth of field.

I love how simple the UI is on this app, as someone looking for something to make the camera on my phone feel a little more intentional it was a bit of a surprise to see such a clean ui. It is refreshing to see an app without ads or subscriptions that is free to use and is funded by a hardware sales model. My only complaints with the app so far are related to feature completeness, but it appears that the app is under some regular updates. Features that I see as lacking right now are:- manual focus zoom is always centered, it would be nice to choose where in the viewfinder gets zoomed in during focus adjustment- film simulations are a bit aggressive, it would be nice to either adjust the intensity or allow for the import of film simulations similar to Ricoh- film simulation photos cannot be taken simultaneously with raw photos. I sort of understand this philosophically, because using a film simulation is a different use case than raw photography, but I think there is value here if you want to leave film simulation on for ease of share-ability while still having a raw shot in case you get an unexpectedly nice shot
