【for iPhone 17 Pro Max Only】 TELESIN Magnetic Master Grip Kit, Phone Camera Grip Kit Built-in 3200mAh Battery - Wireless Charging - Graphene Case for iPhone Cooling - DSLR Style Grip Handle Holder

On October 6, 2025, after using the grip for some time and contacting the vendor who demonstrated how to update the firmware, I’m updating this review to include new insights I’ve gained about the grip. I purchased the grip for my brand-new iPhone 17 Pro Max, which hasn’t arrived yet. However, I’ve been using it with my iPhone 15 Pro Max without the cover that came with the grip. The grip is well-constructed, made of lightweight aluminum, and feels sturdy in my hands. Follow the instructions for pairing and ensure that Zoom is enabled in the iOS accessibility menu. The box also includes a screen protector, which was a pleasant surprise. I haven’t used the case yet, but its lightweight aluminum construction fits very well with the grip. The grip worked seamlessly with my existing MagSafe case. The buttons function well with the iOS Camera app, but when it comes to using them with Blackmagic or Final Cut Camera apps, only the record button, which is the most crucial one, works. Telesin has indicated that a future firmware update may enhance its functionality. To update the firmware, download the free “ReefColor” app by Telesin and ensure that the grip is connected to your device. The system will automatically detect if an upgrade is needed and prompt you to proceed. The ReefColor app is a simple camera app that offers several features, including the ability to re-map the Grip buttons’ functionality. However, its most important feature is the ability to update the firmware if necessary. The Grip’s battery is designed to provide a small battery boost during recording, but it’s not a reliable power source for extended video sessions. For instance, it charged my iPhone 15 Pro Max from 30% to 60% while the phone was off before it completely drained. As per the iPhone battery settings, the battery starts charging in fast mode and then switches to slow mode. For long video sessions, I connect external power directly to the phone using a right-angle charging cable that keeps the cable out of the way when in landscape mode. When I receive my iPhone 17 Pro Max, I’ll be able to record lossless landscape or portrait mode regardless of how I physically hold the phone since it has a square sensor. If you’re looking for a sturdy and well-built grip, this is definitely recommended. I use it to shoot photos and videos for short, occasional sessions. However, when I need to record a long video session, I usually screw it to a tripod and connect an external power source directly to the phone, and I’m all set. The magnets are very strong, and I feel comfortable not dropping the phone, whether I’m holding it or on a tripod.

I really enjoy my Telesin Magnetic Master Grip Kit for my iPhone 17 Pro Max. It easily attaches magnetically to my existing protective case, and makes it much easier to hold when taking photos or videos. The grip has a place to put your thumb when holding the camera with the grip on, which also help align the grip to your phone. The handle appears to need the supplied adapter case, but I did not plan to use it any way. The controls feel firm and do not feel cheap. All in all the grip is very well made. You use the free ReefColor app to setup some of the grip functions. You are supposed to be able to update the grip firmware via the app but I have not yet had to do that. The grip comes with a tiny user manual that is written in several languages. That is fine, but it is so small as to be almost impossible to read. The website user manual is a web page, and one of the essential instructions (how to turn the grip on) is found later down the web page though the setup instructions earlier on the page assume you know how to turn the grip on and off. It took some searching to find this key piece of information. I wish the user manual that comes in the grip packaging which is well written was available online to download and keep for reference. That would make it possible to refer to those instructions when not on your laptop. It would also make it easier to study the grip's functions. As with any new piece of hardware it has a small learning curve but once you get use to what you see on your iPhone screen and where settings are (the ReefColor app has its own settings on your screen), the easier it becomes to use. I am definitely looking forward to using this, especially for video.

I purchased this grip for a trip to Thailand. The item worked fine until while on a boat ride I accidentally knocked the side of the boat. The case cracked and would no longer stay on the phone. Amazon doesn't sell replacement parts. I found the Telesin site and ordered a new case and lens. That was January 3rd 2026. They mailed it to the wrong address, actually sent me a picture of the delivery point. Not my address. I reached out to them and got silly non commital responses. It is now April 5th 2026. Still no order and now they don't respond at all. Stay away from this company they don’t back their product. And they'll keep your money.

The TELESIN Magnetic Master Grip Kit is an absolute upgrade for anyone who uses their iPhone 17 Pro Max for photos or video. The magnetic attachment is strong and secure, snapping on instantly and staying firmly in place even during active shooting. It genuinely makes the phone feel like a compact mirrorless camera. The ergonomic power grip is comfortable to hold and dramatically improves stability, especially for longer filming sessions. The built-in controls are intuitive and responsive, making one-handed shooting easy and natural. I also love the added confidence it gives when shooting on the go — no awkward balancing or hand fatigue. Build quality is excellent and feels premium, not plasticky. It’s lightweight yet sturdy, and the design is sleek enough that it doesn’t feel bulky in a bag. Battery performance has been reliable, and the grip charges efficiently. If you create content, travel, vlog, or just want better photos and video from your phone, this kit is absolutely worth it. Thoughtfully designed, rock-solid magnetic hold, and a huge improvement to mobile shooting. Highly recommend! 📱🎥

Very impressive right out of the box. EZ bluetooth connect - great camera integration. I got the silver iPhone 17pro and this is a killer match up for it. Case is a perfect fit. Magnet to the phone is super solid. Zoom is smooth. Attach the lanyard to the grip and makes one-handed shooting a breeze. i would have no issues dangling from the side of boat or the Grand Canyon. No more fumbling Feels a lot like a small Leica & looks very cool too. Or use it as a separate remote trigger. Doubles as a battery charger. The ND filter fits perfectly. The selfie light is a nice plus with different degrees of tone & brightness. The price is very fair imo. ONLY issues are integration with Blackmagic camera is capture only at this time. AND i wish the Fn, Roller & Zoom buttons could be more customizable (i.e. Blackmagic rack focus/zoom etc.) - but as is, it covers what you need and then some for pix on the go.

I’m really happy with the TELESIN C03 Magnetic Selfie Light. It snaps right onto my MagSafe iPhone securely and stays in place. The light is bright, clear, and makes a big difference in my selfies and video calls. I love the 360° ring design and the built-in mirror is super convenient. It’s lightweight, easy to charge, and perfect for TikTok, photos, or Zoom meetings. Great little accessory that really improves lighting!

I’m using this with an iPhone 17 Pro Max. When it works, I really like the grip itself. It feels good in the hand and has a solid, well-designed feel. That said, my experience started a bit rough. Amazon shipped what appears to be a used Pro Grip. There were fingerprints and smudges on the grip, and all the packaging had already been opened. I decided to overlook that and move forward with setup. After setting it up, I noticed an issue where the phone randomly switches from photo mode to video mode on its own when I’m trying to take pictures. This happens without me pressing anything, which makes it frustrating to use for quick shots. I want to give this product five stars because I really like the concept and the grip when it’s working properly. I’m going to continue using it and may update this review after more time with it, but for now these issues are worth noting.

I really wanted to like the TELESIN Magnetic Master Grip Kit because the concept is great and the design feels solid and well-made. Unfortunately, the performance doesn’t live up to the promise. The biggest issue is the inconsistent Bluetooth connection. The remote frequently disconnects or fails to respond, which makes taking photos frustrating. On top of that, the wireless charging is unreliable, often requiring repositioning or multiple attempts just to get it to charge properly. Because of these issues, taking a quick photo becomes a struggle instead of a spontaneous moment. By the time the Bluetooth reconnects or the camera responds, the moment is often gone. For a product that’s designed to make mobile photography easier and smoother, this defeats its main purpose. Overall, the idea behind this kit is excellent, but the unreliable Bluetooth and charging make it hard to recommend in its current form. It may work fine occasionally, but the inconsistency takes away from the user experience.
