At CES 2025, Belkin has unveiled several creator-focused products, including a Stage Creator Bundle, audio products and charging devices. One that stood out was the Stage PowerGrip, which adds a digital camera-like look with a camcorder grip to your iPhone. It has a shutter button, a big battery capacity, and can charge up to three devices simultaneously.
The Belkin Stage PowerGrip is a 10,000mAh power bank that doubles as a Bluetooth shutter button for your iPhone. It features MagSafe capabilities so you can attach your iPhone wirelessly and shoot in both horizontal and vertical orientations. It’s compatible with iPhone 12 and above.
The device is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth so you can use the shutter button without touching the screen. The device also has a small LED screen so you can see the percentage of battery left.
Belkin isn’t the first company to make a camcorder-style power bank with a wireless shutter button. I’ve used the ShiftCam ProGrip, which is very comfortable to hold. But the Belkin device does it better in three ways.
First, the Belkin power bank has a bigger cell, compared to the 6,400mAh battery found on the ShiftCam competitor. Second, it allows for up to three devices to charge simultaneously—MagSafe for iPhone, a Type-C port for charging other devices, and a built-in retractable wire to charge another product. Third, Belkin is hoping to keep the price under $80, which is less than ShiftCam’s asking price of $150.
Belkin has also launched the Stage Creator Bundle, which includes a tripod, clip-on microphones for audio, an audio receiver, and a charging case for the two mics. The tripod, however, isn’t the Auto-Tracking Stand Pro from last year. This is a MagSafe-compatible fixed-angle tripod.
Other CES 2025 Belkin charging devices include a small BoostCharge Compact USB-C 45W/65W charger, BoostCharge Pro Wireless Charging Pad with 15W Qi2 support and a built-in kickstand, and a 20,000mAh power bank with a retractable cable. There’s also a new pair of Soundform Isolate noise-canceling headphones at $60 and semi-open ear Soundform Anywhere earbuds.
The pricing is yet to be announced for the charging products as they aren’t hitting the shelves anytime soon. You’ll have to wait till at least April 2025 to get your hands on the new Belkin accessories.
