London – January 24, 2013 – cooltopia announces hardware integration with pro-level photography apps and social network tools for the snappgrip, a snap-on camera controller that turns smartphones into point-and-shoot cameras for easy one-handed control. snappgrip will now work with the popular Jag.gr 645 PRO and PureShot apps, which provide high quality image output with a real digital camera feel, and the Eico Design Weico+ app, an instagram-type app that integrates into all of the Chinese and Western social networks and chat platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. The Snappgrip will be available for online preorder at Amazon, Americal and snappgrip.com during early February for $99MSRP. Pre-order the Snappgrip by January 28, 2013 at www.kickstarter.com and receive $20 off the MSRP.
“We are thrilled to announce the snappgrip integration with several serious high end photo apps,” says Lee Harris, Creator of snappgrip. “We want snappgrip to be every mobile photographer’s go to accessory and hope that it will only enhance the amazing apps that they are already using such as the Jag.gr 645 PRO and PureShot, Weico+ and Jack Hollingsworth’s soon to be released Passport app.”

Jag.gr 645 PRO & PureShot App Features:
645 PRO makes every iPhone feel like a pro camera, with unprecedented control and unparalleled image quality. Inspired by the great medium format cameras, it produces print-ready output from a selection of seven gorgeous Film Modes inspired by classic film stock with seven different “backs” from square 6×6 to panoramic 6×17. 645 PRO was also the first iPhone camera app to provide the option of uncompressed, unprocessed, lossless “developed RAW”—dRAW—TIFF files, a workflow essential for many professionals. It’s now joined by PureShot, Jag.gr’s “#nofilter” app, designed to deliver the best possible unprocessed output from a camera that is simple and intuitive to use, yet remarkably powerful and configurable.
“We’re very excited by snappgrip,” says Mike Hardaker, founder of Jag.gr. “It’s just a great fit for the apps we design and for photographers who take mobile photography seriously.”
