Summary
Finished in classic Leica Silver, this LUX Grip is a physical interface for photographers who want the immediacy and control of a real camera on their iPhone. A substantial handgrip and dedicated controls change how shooting feels, while the companion app adds exposure control and Leica’s distinctive approach to image rendering.
Magnetic mounting means the experience isn’t tied to one particular handset, so it moves with you between MagSafe-compatible iPhones. The result is an iPhone that feels less like a screen you’re taking pictures with, and more like a camera you want to pick up and use.
A Real Camera Feel
Adding a proper handgrip changes the physical relationship between photographer and phone. Rather than relying entirely on touchscreen operation, the LUX Grip lets you hold and operate your iPhone more like a conventional camera, for greater stability and a more deliberate way to compose and shoot. The all-metal aluminium housing looks every bit as purposeful as it feels.
Put Camera Controls Under Your Fingers
A mechanical two-stage shutter release puts one of the most familiar camera controls beneath your finger, so every picture no longer has to begin with a tap on the display. A settings dial and two freely assignable FN buttons put frequently used functions within reach while shooting, reducing reliance on the touchscreen and letting you tailor the layout to how you work.
Create More With The Leica LUX App
Hardware and software work together through the Leica LUX app, which adds manual control over exposure, ISO and shutter speed, along with Leica Looks and bokeh effects inspired by Leica lenses including the Summilux-M and Noctilux-M. Registering the Grip includes 12 months of the Pro version at no extra cost, giving you the full app experience from day one.
Move Between MagSafe iPhones
Magnetic mounting makes attachment straightforward and gives the Grip a life beyond a single handset. It works with any iPhone featuring MagSafe and isn’t tied to a particular iPhone generation, making it a longer-term addition to a mobile photography setup, with compatible cases available for extra protection and integration.
Shoot More Between Charges
An internal 300 mAh lithium-ion battery powers the physical controls independently of the phone. A full USB-C charge takes two hours and delivers up to 1,000 shots. At around 130g including the battery, the Grip adds a substantial, camera-like feel without weighing the setup down.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit if I have a case on my iPhone?
Yes, provided the case supports MagSafe. The Grip can attach directly to a MagSafe-compatible case, while a case without MagSafe may need to be removed before use.
Which iPhones can I use it with?
It works with iPhones featuring MagSafe from iPhone 12 onwards, or compatible models fitted with a MagSafe case. The Leica LUX app requires iOS 17.1 or later, and Leica recommends iPhone 14 or newer for the best LUX experience.
Does it work with Apple’s Camera app?
No. The physical controls work in conjunction with the Leica LUX app rather than Apple’s Camera app or other photography apps.
Can it be used left-handed?
Yes. The MagSafe plate can be removed by undoing the two Torx screws, rotated 180 degrees and reattached to place the handgrip on the opposite side.
Will it charge my iPhone?
No. The internal battery powers the Grip itself and cannot be used as a power bank to charge the connected iPhone.
Can I use it outdoors in wet weather?
It has an IP54 rating, providing protection against dust and splashing water. It is not rated for immersion in water.
