Ever seen one of those Shot On iPhone ads? Look at the bottom corner and you’ll find a disclaimer that reads “additional equipment used”, implying that the iPhone wasn’t the only piece of gear used to take photos or videos. Usually, the iPhone has an entire family of products with it, including a stabilizer, an extra mic, an extra light (or multiple lights), attached storage, an external battery, and even a heat sink or cooler to keep the iPhone cool as it records. This rig is often massive, overshadowing the iPhone itself, but the MagCool OmniGrip condenses that entire setup to something small enough to fit in your hand.
Designed to become the epicenter of your recording setup, the MagCool OmniGrip is a tiny, handheld grip that holds your phone while you record content. However, it isn’t just a handle or a ‘selfie stick’ – it also has a built-in SSD for storing content, an aux-in for connecting external mics, a ring light that provides a much more professional-looking lighting setup than your iPhone’s flashlight, and even a semiconductor-based cooling rig that keeps your Pro iPhone breezy even while recording 4K ProRes video at 120 frames per second. If all that wasn’t enough, a 6000mAh battery keeps your iPhone charged through the entire shoot.

Your phone is truly a multifunctional device – it’s a computer, a camera, a connectivity device, an entertainment gizmo, but being a jack of all trades often involves a few trade-offs. For content creators, those trade-offs come in the form of not having enough battery, or enough storage, or a good microphone.
Your phone’s multifunctional, but the minute you add a rig to it, you realize that your rig isn’t multifunctional. It’s a combination of multiple small things, cluttering your entire video-recording workflow – the MagCool OmniGrip hopes to change that. The singular, foldable device has everything you’d need to effectively record video without worrying about your phone’s inherent limitations.
It comes with a MagSafe grip that lets you reliably snap your phone in place so you’re ready to record in seconds. Connect your phone to the OmniGrip and important controls are right at your fingertip, from a central button to start-end recordings to two more buttons on the side that toggle the semiconductor cooling system, or the OmniGrip’s LED ring-light. The semiconductor cooling system is heaven-sent when recording in high-resolution video.
The latest iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max can output 4K at a stunning 120fps, which is sure to cause the device to heat up within just a few sustained minutes of recording. Hitting the cooling button on the OmniGrip powers the semiconductor which instantly pulls all the heat away from your iPhone, cooling it down by a handful of degrees much more efficiently than a simple fan or heat sink would. Aside from heating your phone, recording in 4K ProRes also severely strains your device’s onboard storage.
4K video is incredibly heavy, and one single podcast episode or lengthy Reel or TikTok can consume gigabytes of space – which is where the OmniGrip’s built-in SSD comes in super handy. With a dedicated slot to house an M.2 SSD right within the OmniGrip’s handle, your iPhone rig now becomes your personal external drive, allowing you to store all your video footage onto the SSD.
Connect your iPhone to the MagCool OmniGrip via USB-C and you can now transfer all your video files at speeds of 10Gb/s, editing them either directly on your phone or carrying them to a laptop/desktop to post-process your videos. To aid your professional video workflow, the OmniGrip comes with an aux input for external microphones, and a dedicated ring-light that can be toggled via a button on the OmniGrip’s handle. The external microphone lets you record high-fidelity audio (perfect for vlogs, podcasts, or music sessions), while the ring light gives you warm, neutral, or cool light options for your shoot.
The light’s dedicated button lets you quickly toggle through different temperatures to match your video’s needs. Finally, a built-in 6000mAh battery powers both the OmniGrip as well as your phone. With up to 2.
5 hours of continuous use, it’s designed to match the demands of prolonged shoots or live-streaming sessions. Whether you’re live-streaming, vlogging, or working on a longer project, this level of reliability eliminates the need for constant recharges or backup batteries. The foldable design of the handle only adds to its portability, making it easy to pack and carry.
If you need to go bigger, the base of the handle also has a tripod mount, allowing you to hook a tripod to your OmniGrip for a more stable setup. JSAUX, the company behind the OmniGrip, isn’t new to this game. They’ve made everything from monitors to multiport dongles, with the MagCool OmniGrip being their first creator-centric device to streamline the content-filming process.
The result is a device that borrows from all of JSAUX’s previous products, combining cooling, data storage, device management, and power back-up all in a product that’s foldable, portable, and small enough to slip right into your pocket or your bag, so your entire video rig is just about as tiny and as portable as your powerful 4K recording device – your smartphone. Each MagCool OmniGrip ships with the foldable device itself, which houses the semiconductor cooling system, the ring-light, and the 6000mAh battery. The device has an SSD slot but you’ll have to mount your own M.
2 SSD in, giving you the freedom to choose what storage capacity you want. The OmniGrip also comes with a USB-C connector cable, a MagSafe magnet ring sticker, mounts for clipping on your external microphone, and a drawstring pouch to carry everything in. The MagCool OmniGrip starts at $59.
