Smartphone photography a go-to choice for capturing and sharing moments in our daily lives. Smartphone photography has seen significant evolution over the years from basic snapshots to professional-quality imaging, making it accessible to everyone, from casual users to serious photographers.
ShiftCam has made a splash at #CES2025 with two exciting new products designed to empower mobile content creators: the incredibly tiny yet powerful PLANCK portable SSD and the compact SnapStudio Light.
PLANCK: Portable Storage That Vanishes (But the Speed Doesn’t)
Imagine transferring 200GB of files in just three minutes. That’s the promise of PLANCK, ShiftCam’s groundbreaking new portable SSD. This isn’t your typical external drive; PLANCK is incredibly small—smaller than a credit card and weighing only 10 grams. Yet, it packs a serious punch with read and write speeds up to an impressive 1050 MB/s.
This speed makes PLANCK the perfect companion for creators working with demanding formats like 4K/120 ProRes, especially when shooting directly from devices like the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro. Say goodbye to agonizingly slow transfer times and bulky external drives weighing you down. PLANCK is designed to seamlessly integrate into your workflow, and as ShiftCam CEO Benson Chiu puts it.
“Our mission with PLANCK is to eliminate the barriers of traditional storage and empower creators to focus on their craft, We’ve designed a tool that’s so portable and powerful, it becomes an invisible yet essential part of any creator’s workflow.”
Beyond its speed and size, PLANCK is built to withstand the rigors of on-the-go creation. It’s drop-proof and boasts an IP65 water-resistance rating, ensuring your data is safe no matter where your creativity takes you. With universal USB-C compatibility, it works flawlessly with smartphones, cameras, gaming consoles, laptops, and tablets. Available in 1TB and 2TB models, PLANCK is set to launch on Kickstarter in early February. Keep an eye out for that!
SnapStudio Light: Studio-Quality Lighting, On the Go
ShiftCam has unveiled the SnapStudio Light, the latest addition to their SnapSeries ecosystem. This modular system is designed to transform any space into a professional-grade studio, with the SnapStudio Light playing a crucial role.
This compact lighting solution is 38% smaller than traditional ring lights, making it incredibly portable without sacrificing performance. It delivers up to 600 lumens of adjustable light output, allowing you to fine-tune both the temperature and brightness to achieve the perfect look.
MagSafe compatibility ensures seamless integration with other SnapSeries components, creating a cohesive and efficient workflow. With eight interchangeable pieces in the SnapSeries ecosystem., creators have the flexibility to build a portable studio tailored to their exact needs, from lighting to storage.
