Review on 📸 Pictar IntelliGrip + IntelliLens Wide Macro + IntelliLight by Jay Matlock

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Still needs some design work

At first glance this seems like the perfect solution to replace the camera but I asked for a refund after finding some issues that were definitely not just me . When I tried to use it, I found that there were some issues with the design that weren't unique to me. If you use the slide adjustment to insert the phone, it doesn't slide out the same way, gets stuck and needs fiddling with. After the phone was inserted, I found my hand blocking the phone's lens many times. I also found that the various control buttons are not easy to use and sometimes unresponsive. While this is a unique product there are some design flaws, particularly if your phone has a secure cover that needs to be removed before it is placed in the Pictar box. Much easier to carry around a small camera. I applaud the designers for their idea and the creation of their device, but I think more work is needed to make it more user-friendly. In the meantime, I'll continue to carry around a little fine pointing and photographing, because until I take the protective case off my phone and put the combination together, I'll find it easier to pick up the camera and take a picture. I have read some of the positive reviews and feel that after some time of daily use there may be a re-evaluation in terms of usability for daily use. However, the design is unique and should be attractive to the technician.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power
