Snap! 6 - the gadget for Snapchat, Twitter & Co.?

Sights like the Colosseum in Rome, the Taj Mahal in India or the Great Wall of China are only seen once in a lifetime. This makes it all the more important to record this and later to be able to share the experiences with family and friends. As a photophile, I am very interested in the aspect of iPhoneography and have therefore looked around for an iPhone gadget that extends or completes the iPhone camera with some useful aspects. After some research, I found the Snap! 6 noticed that the iPhone 6 has been expanded to include a release button and, if necessary, a large number of photo lenses.

The first thing that caught my eye was the plain and simple design of the 33 gram case, which fits well in the hand and therefore makes it easy to take pictures. When I opened the packaging, I found the Snap! 6, a fabric wristband and an activation code. The fabric wristband is attached directly to the case and is primarily designed to make taking photos easier when taking many consecutive shots. Even if this is not absolutely necessary, it is possible to remove it. The activation code is used to enable a special in-app function for the case-adapted iPhone app Snap! Pro. In my opinion, it is impressive due to its simple design, combined with a large number of recording and editing options.

The unique selling point of this case, however, is the silver release button, which uses a simple but innovative mechanism to enable quick recordings. After pressing the button, the left side of the gadget is attracted to the left side of the gadget by a small red-colored area of ​​the case, which guarantees a quick recording.

Exclusively for the gadget, you can choose between a variety of photo lenses and a leather bracelet. You can simply put the photo lenses on the area above the iPhone camera. When it comes to lenses, you can choose between three variants: wide-angle, macro and fish-eye lenses. Unfortunately, the wide-angle lens could not convince me, as it was more similar to the fisheye lens and there was no noticeable improvement in the image quality. In contrast, the other two lenses were able to completely convince me, as the image quality increased significantly, especially when taking close-ups.

In this context, I would recommend the cases to all photophiles who like to take pictures and want to have a gadget at their side that makes them easier. With the lenses, however, I would only rely on the fisheye and macro lenses, as there is still room for improvement with the wide-angle lens. If you use the case including the app, you can definitely rely on a loyal companion for recordings.
