Fjorden Ultimate — pro-feeling gear for a phone-based content side hustle

The gist: A grip-and-case kit that gives freelance creators camera-style controls on their iPhone, useful for building a portfolio or running a content side income without buying a dedicated camera.

• Camera-like shutter control: The two-stage shutter lets you half-press to lock focus and fully press to capture — a real ergonomic upgrade over tapping a phone screen for client or portfolio shoots.
• Durable, protective case: The included MagSafe case is rated IP54 for dust and water resistance, useful if you're shooting outdoor content or event coverage as part of freelance work.
• Built-in tripod mount: A quick-release tripod screw mount supports stable setups for product photography, talking-head video, or self-recorded interviews.
• Expandable system: Shares Moment's drop-in lens mount, so freelancers can add specialty lenses later as their content work grows.

PetaPixel's Ted Kritsonis reviewed the Fjorden Grip and praised its thoughtful ergonomics, writing that "a two-stage shutter feels like a real camera."

Best for: remote workers building a photography or video side hustle who want professional-feeling controls without a full camera investment. Skip it if: you only need a phone case — Kritsonis noted this sits in a $180-240 price range, steep if you don't need the grip and mount features.
