Make your own viewfinder12/18/2023 Miggo Returns to Kickstarter and Goes Pro with the New Pictar Pro, the World’s Most Advanced Camera Grip for iPhones and Androids The estimated price once the campaign finishes is $250 for a kit including the viewfinder and accessories.įor more information see the Miggo website, or the Pictar Pro Kickstarter campaign page. ![]() Kickstarter backers will be able to get the Pictar Pro for between $129 and $189. A cold shoe lets accessories, such as video lights, be mounted on the top of the grip, and the base is fitted with a standard tripod thread. ![]() The free Pictar App gives users a choice of RAW, TIF and JPEG file formats, advanced white balance settings, a histogram display and options for aspect ratios. It makes the phone feel much more like a ‘real’ camera. This allows better stability for longer exposures as well as giving users a clearer view of what they are shooting in bright conditions. When the app detects the collapsible viewfinder the phone’s display screen shrinks to the size of the viewfinder so that the whole screen can be seen through the eye piece. The highlight for me though is the optional viewfinder that plugs into the Pictar Pro to let the app know it is in use. Users can control the shutter speed of their phone’s camera, as well as dial in exposure compensation, use focus and exposure lock, access different flash modes and work in ISO or Shutter priority exposure modes. The new larger press/turn dials control the app in the camera and give access to features many native camera apps don’t include. ![]() The Pictar Pro also comes with an optional built-in power supply that can roughly double the time the phone operates between charges. The device recognizes the type and model of phone automatically by communicating with the Pictar App that users need to install. The Pictar Pro clamps around the smartphone and connects to it via high frequency sound waves, leaving Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and physical ports free for other functions. The company promises that this next generation Pictar makes it easier to control the camera functions of your iOS or Android phone through new larger dials and buttons, as well as a rocker switch that can control the camera’s zoom. Miggo has launched the latest in its line of camera grips for smartphones with the Pictar Pro, a model that offers users enhanced handling and access to hidden features of their phones, as well as an optional viewfinder for shooting in bright conditions.
