You know those \u2018Shot On iPhone\u2019 images and videos you see? What they don\u2019t tell you is that they didn\u2019t just use an iPhone to shoot the content, they used an entire ecosystem of rigs, lights, lenses, dongles, microphones, stabilizers, and a bunch of other tech alongside the iPhone. \u2018Shot On iPhone\u2019 implies that all someone did was use their phone and nothing else, but the reality is more \u2018Shot On iPhone using thousands of dollars worth of other gear\u2019. While most content creators can\u2019t afford that entire setup, one humble power bank hopes to make things easier.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Creator Beauty\u2019 power bank may sound like a Chinese product name translated rather poorly, but this little device promises to uplift your iPhone\u2019s video and photo capabilities significantly. Most MagSafe power banks snap on and begin charging \u2013 this one snaps on and turns your iPhone into a vlogging machine. Aside from giving your iPhone juice while it films, the Creator Beauty power bank packs a swivel-able light-source, and a kickstand that lets you prop your phone either vertically or horizontally, depending on what content you\u2019re creating.<\/p>\n
Designer: Max<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The entire power bank has a Leica meets retro Polaroid aesthetic. You\u2019ve got a two-tone beige\/grey body with a red dot on the corner that you\u2019d think was a Leica logo (but it just has Max written on it, i.e., the designer\u2019s name). Meanwhile, the light itself sits on a swiveling joint, connected by an arm that has Polaroid\u2019s original candy-colored rainbow printed on it. The visual beauty of the light is that, when closed, it sits at the center of the power bank, looking quite literally like a camera. Swivel it out, however, and it becomes an adjustable light source that\u2019s softer-yet-stronger, perfect for filming content without relying on your phone\u2019s flash.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What you see as a fairly novelty-ish light source is, in fact, a true content creator\u2019s dream \u2013 because it\u2019s dual-sided. On the outer side, it\u2019s a disc-shaped light, capable of providing a broader wash of light while filming\u2026 but look on the other side and you\u2019ve got a ring light, designed to make content creation a breeze without needing to invest in a separate ring light accessory. Buttons on the rim of the light let you toggle between front and rear lights, as well as brightness. The lights draw power from the power bank itself, making the entire arrangement super convenient \u2013 and the swiveling design gives you the ability to uniquely position the light source anywhere around the camera to get the right lighting angle or to avoid glare.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The kickstand is icing on the cake. Instead of being one of those flip-out kickstands, this one stays tucked inside the power bank itself, so it isn\u2019t really visible until you need it. Pull it out like you would a drawer in a cabinet and position it at a 90\u00b0 angle and the kickstand can be used either for docking your phone vertically or horizontally. Together, the three features give the Creator Beauty power bank quite the edge over other power banks. You practically don\u2019t need an extra light or a tripod while recording \u2013 just snap the power bank on, swivel the light out, knock out the kickstand, and hit record!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
