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!!

Effective because the designers made all the right choices
A brilliant design: within it’s wonderfully compact body, the FJORDEN incorporates the controls one most wants in a convenient easily used form. A wonderfully effective way to give the users the controls they most need to have the iPhone be as close to a real camera as one can imagine. BRILLIANT.
Not free
Forced to purchase some stupid grip to use.
What to say..
People complain; I don't.
Get The Fjorden Grip
Incredibly powerful zoom and AI processing. The magsafe mount and controls are so much better than the stupid Apple stripe that leaves you fumbling exactly when you need control.
Almost perfect
It's really fantastic. One thing lacking is the "film" filters feature. Tapping it brings up some really unfortunate 2011 Instagram style filters.
Everything else about this app feels premium, but this one feature is a let down and stuck in the past

Fabulous
This is the best grip I have seen for the iPhone. It has so many usable features. The app allows for professional control of the iPhone camera.
iPhone 17 Pro Max
Great setup easy to use awesome product!
Fjorden experience
Being honest with you I really love the comfort and minimalist feel of the Fjorden, but I haven't yet enjoy the uses of it, and it started cracking and opening in two places with no falls or rough treatments, I'm wondering if I should replace it or seek other alternative, as I mention earlier I do love it, but replacing it is also quite expensive, I'm thinking, and take note of your material.

Good pictures
The best camera in your pocket
No pair
I can’t get this to pair with my iPhone 17
Great step in
I have used this for over a year and allows me to use my iPhone 14 ProMax as a daily street camera. Seriously this may be a niche product, but seriously good. I can see why Leica snapped it up. Long may it be supported.
Almost perfect!
Been using the app for two years in Iceland and America and Sweden. I love the Fjorden Grip. Has been through some harsh conditions and still works wonderfully. My only suggestion for the app is support for the camera button on newer iOS devices. Instagram is programmable for whatever reason but the best camera app in the App Store isn’t?? 😉

Over priced and unreliable
This is a major rip off. No real value add and connectivity sucks. They claim it works with Leica Lux but only the camera button does inside the Alecia App. Film simulations are very limited - only 6. Don’t waste your money!
Connection and control buttons problems
Not connecting with my iphone 12 or my iphone 13 cannot use controls to take photos
Used to work
First time writing a review. App worked great without the 250$ grip now you cant use the app without the 250$ grip. Only thing the app does is tell you to get the 250$ grip or get the Leica app(all it does is emulate what it would look like to use Leica lenses) heavily doubt any “real photographer” testimonies are genuine you could get a better overall camera for 250$ than using the app with the 250$ grip.
