Moment joins the new trend of taking advantage of the magnet system of the new iPhone 12 introduced together with the MagSafe connector. So now you can place your new iPhone on a tripod or place a microphone or spotlight on it in a simpler way.
Moment Magnetic Housings and Adapters
The history of Moment is at least curious, they started selling interchangeable lenses for smartphones and right now they are one of the online stores with the highest recognition among thousands and thousands of users. Although much of this success and popularity is due to their YouTube channel and how well they have focused on content and audience.
In their current store they not only sell these lenses, over the years they have been adding products from other brands such as Fuji, Sony, Lacie, DJI, etc., until they reach their latest proposals under their own Momento brand. This is how their backpacks and bags for transporting devices and other personal items were born, and now comes this new collection of accessories for iPhone that use MagSafe technology.
As we showed recently and dared to predict, the magnetized grip system of the new iPhone 12 in the end is going to be the highlight of the new generation of products. And it is that, as if it were the fashion of using velcro for everything, this will allow endless new accessories.
The line that Momento has launched relies on it to offer a series of adapters that can be used for different purposes:
- Tripod Mount : a tripod mount that allows you to hold the phone while you place it on the classic thread of the tripod plate
- Pro Tripod Mount : the same as the previous one with the difference that it adds a shoe on the top so that you can, for example, place a small led spotlight or a pipe microphone, etc.
- Cold Shoe Mount : It is identical to the accessory previously described, but without the part that allows it to be attached to a tripod
- Wall Mount : as its name suggests, this is a support to be placed on the wall and to be able to fix the iPhone to it
- Car Vent Mount : support to place in the car’s ventilation grille and thus be able to attach the terminal to it when we are mounted in our vehicle
- Mali Threaded Mount : the latter is nothing more than a magnetized mount that offers different threads on the back so that it can be combined with other accessories such as different tripods, articulated arms, etc.
Along with all this, the brand has also renewed its catalog of housings for the new iPhones and together with that redesign required by its more square and straight shapes, they have also included support for that new technology or connector called MagSafe and its magnet system.
The price of magnetized accessories
Undoubtedly, both these and many other accessories compatible with MagSafe, are interesting proposals as long as you trust the level of support that they will be able to offer. Because we must not forget that you are going to place in them a product whose price is close to or exceeds 1,000 euros.
Even so, some have already commented that they do trust because with the previous iPhone they used similar options and never had problems. However, it is everyone’s decision. What is clear is that having one of these new accessories implies paying a price for the novelty of the magnets.
In the case of covers , these cost $ 49 . Meanwhile, the different mounting adapters range from $ 29 to $ 49 . Prices that taking into account materials and manufacturing quality of Moment products seem correct. Although, like everything else, if you start adding, things already change.
