"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe moment Profoto case is an MFI certified battery case that is great for anyone who wants to extend the life of their phone takes a lot of photos and is a user of moments excellent glass welcome everyone it is Andrew here from Apple Insider and we've got moments Profoto case this is a very multifaceted device and there's a ton of features it's a ton of people's workflows and it's just an overall great case for the iPhone we're gonna go through some of the cool features like the lens interface for connecting lenses the textured body these straps all the different charging inputs and even the really awesome shutter button while we are looking at the case for the iPhone 10 and 10's it's also available for the iPhone 8 and 7 in the iPhone 8 plus and the iPhone 7 plus inside the box you're just gonna find the case itself there's no fancy cables or adapters or all those other things that you sometimes find with other battery cases out there because this is an actual Apple certified case that connects over lightning and can even charge over lightning you don't need to keep an extra USBC cable or microUSB cable handy you literally just use the one that already came with your phone along the top it's a little bit thinner where that lens interface is and it actually bends back for inserting the camera or your phone there's that red shutter button on the side it's recessed a little bit so it's not gonna get accidentally hit all the time along the bottom you're gonna find two different anchor points for attaching things like wrist straps and a lightning port where you can actually plug in any existing lightning cable as I mentioned the top is a little bit movable this is very similar to how Apple's battery case works and use bend that back a little bit to insert the phone works really easy gets the phone in and out of course when you're putting it in there's a high chance you're going to not only take a screenshot but invoke Siri at the same time but once the phone is already and it connects into that cable and the top just flips right over you're good to go the case works best if you use moments photo app it's an excellent a for taking photos especially if you want to get really granular and change a lot of the settings once the battery cases the connected you'll see right there nothing's plugged in and yet my phone is charging moment says you should get about double the battery life when using the moment case once it you'll see it show up inside of the moment app in the top left-hand corner and diving into the settings of the moment app you're able to do things like make sure that's connected and go ahead and perform software updates the case itself is made out of a light rubbery material it feels really good in the hand and overall feels super solid definitely premium materials all the way around including that read analyzed aluminum shutter button inside of the material of the case you see all those light flecks going around I kind of like that because whenever I've used a black rubberized case they have a tendency to attract dust and with all this flex in you don't even notice if there is any dust on the case on the bottom you can see we have two different anchor points on left and the right with that lightning port in the middle whenever it is plugged in and it's actually charging you will see it'll actually light up there on the side not only does this work using a lightning cable but the iPhone 10 and 10's version actually works with wireless chargers this is amazing because you don't have to plug anything in keep the case on setting on a wireless charger charge everything up you may have noticed throughout this video I've mentioned that this is an iPhone 10 and 10's case but on Moments website it's only saying the iPhone 10 that's because this is an MFI certified case and moment actually has to go through the whole MFI program once more to certify that it works with the iPhone 10s so while it will work the 10s just fine moment can't officially say so until they complete that licensing if you've got an iPhone 10s and you're looking to add some extra battery capacity and use moments latest lenses then you should have no problem take this thing up even while we wait for a moment to finish that MFI program on the 10s looping back to the case I love the ability to attach some sort of strap to the bottom of the device if you've ever taken photos in a precarious position they really give you an added sense of security you know that you can't drop your phone through the real avid photographer out there this works with moments excellent lenses all the different lenses they're superfish lens a wide-angle lens a Tele lens a macro lens in their anamorphic lens all work on either the wide or the teller lens of your iphone 10 or 10 s that means you get some crazy wide-angle shots or even get 4x optical zoom they mount on extremely sturdy and can really help you take some amazing photos bringing this all together is once more that moment app there's a ton of great features here and if you're even using any of their lenses the app can edit the metadata of the photo letting you know which lenses you took the photos with just touching on a few of the other great features you can see the case connected in the top left hand corner you can see on the top right hand corner we actually have that histogram along the bottom you can change between all these things like adjusting the white balance and exposure and focus points all of these different things for anyone who really wants to take more pro level photos with their iPhone tapping on the Settings icon brings you up here to choose a few more options including some options for that Profoto case any pro photographer is also gonna love that shutter button because you can actually press it down halfway to focus the photo and then all the way down to actually take the photo just like on a DSLR halfway down to focus all the way to take the picture it even works in Apple's normal photo app but a weird side effect is it also acts as a volume up button because that's what Apple uses to snap photos when in the camera app so if you press it any other time like right here from the home screen it will turn your volume up once more moments Profoto case is amazing it's got
