What's New in Fjorden Camera

2.6.2

May 11, 2026

— Fix a rare issue when updating the firmware on certain grips

User reviews

A fragile product

Technically very fragile with the hinged element breaking and making the entire unit useless.
However, top score to the service department for sending a new unit within days of raising the issue.
The only regret is that they sent the same product, ie it’s still a fragile product.

What the hell?

So after the most recent updated I only get to use this camera for 30 days
Ive had it for a long time now - its my to go to camera - I’ve used it without the grip and now all of a sudden I only get 30 day?

Got the app to use with Fjorden camera grip

A bit of a shaky start but I’m happy with the grip and the app

The grip is well made, less bulky than its competitors and with easy to use controls. It integrates well with the app which is fairly intuitive after a bit of trial and error.

I have been using it for 4-5 days with no problems on iPhones 16 Pro.

The grip fits to a Fjorden iPhone MagSafe case which is provided, but it does not use a magnet to secure the grip . There are two studs on the grip which fit into locating holes on the case and a third push button stud into a third hole to secure it firmly.

I contacted Fjorden support for my setup problem and got a quick helpful response

I found that it is important to follow the installation instructions. A clear user guide booklet is provided. I made the mistake of powering on the grip before starting the app. This messed up the Bluetooth connection. When I reset everything and followed the instructions it works fine. The grip connects to the app when it is powered on.

The battery for the grip is a CR2032 coin type. The plastic holder is very tight and I found that the supplied plastic battery removal was useless. You need something like a small flat blade screw driver but even then it felt like I might break something.

Brilliant piece of kit

High quality and easy to use. Whilst I may use the phone camera without engaging the grip, it is so good to have it available when I want to customise my shot. It absolutely does what it says on the box. Cannot fault it

Simply Elegant

The Fjorden Grip & Fjorden Camera app are simply elegant in design and execution. Kudos to Dr Victor Henning and all those at Fjorden. Brilliant work!

As a longtime DSLR photographer, the grip and app feel completely comfortable and intuitive.

The grip and app have vastly improved the quality and performance of my iPhone as a camera that can still fit easily in my pocket, always ready and at hand.

Fjorden has helped take my iPhone mobile photography to a whole new level. I keep the Fjorden Grip attached to my iPhone - always! I love it!

¡¡Thanks mucho!!
