Best iPhone photography accessories
Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 2.5K
£29.99 FROM belkin.com
You’re quite likely to run low on battery if shooting in HDR Dolby Vision video. This MagSafe wireless charger will boost the iPhone 12 (and 12 Pro’s) battery. It’s designed to keep clear of your iPhone’s lenses so you can continue shooting while charging.
iXpand Flash Drive Go
From £35.99 FROM shop.westerndigital.com
This useful gadget’s Lightning connector enables you to transfer shots from your iPhone to a flash drive to free up valuable storage space (and perform a backup of valuable photos while still on location). You can then plug the USB 3.0 connector into your Mac to transfer your images across.
DJI OM 4
£139 FROM dji.com
This gimbal enables smooth handheld camera moves (which is useful for older iPhones that don’t stabilise the footage in-camera like the 12 Pro does). It also comes with a stand and free app that enables the gimbal to track your moves like a virtual camera operator or perform panning and tilting time-lapses.
Anker iPhone LED Flash
£35.99 FROM uk.anker.com
The iPhone’s built-in flash is weak and creates a washed-out flat-lit subject. By placing this 4x brighter LED flash at the side of the iPhone, you can add a little modelling to your portraits and fill in harsh shadows with the optional diffuser. Also provides extra lighting for video footage.
Manfrotto Mini Tripod with Clamp
£44.95 FROM manfrotto.com
This tripod helps you shoot in a more disciplined way, leading to improved composition. It’s handy for capturing time-lapse sequences or snapping a selfie. The lockable ball head enables you to adjust the iPhone’s angle and capture straight horizons.
Canon SELPHY Square QX10
£149.99 FROM store.canon.co.uk
Having a tangible print in your hands gives extra value to an iPhone-sourced image. This mobile printer uses Wi-Fi to download your favourite shots from your iPhone. Its dye-sublimation printing produces vibrant and rich colours and tones on sticky square-format prints with a writable border.
