The right accessories can improve the experience of photography and content creation. The magnetic holder redefines the way we work with handheld devices. It has advantages over ordinary mobile phone clips used in traditional selfie sticks. This article discusses the working principle and advantages of the magnetic clip and gives a detailed analysis.
1. What is magnetic technology?
Magnetic technology uses magnets to achieve a fast and stable connection between the surfaces of two objects. The magnetic system uses neodymium magnets (a rare earth metal known for its super strong magnetic force) to fix objects, which is different from adhesives or mechanical clamps. These magnets can be embedded in mobile phone cases, mobile phone holders, mobile phone selfie sticks, and other mobile phone-related accessories. The fast magnetic attraction brings a convenient experience of "stick and use" and "remove when not in use".
The MagSafe technology of the Apple mobile phone we are familiar with applies this principle, as does the wireless charging mobile phone. Lumipia's magnetic selfie stick series also applies magnetic technology to the mobile phone clamp of the selfie stick. Users can easily fix their mobile phones without using traditional clamps or screws.
2. The structure of the magnetic holder
The magnetic clip is not simply affixed to a plastic part. To ensure its stability, its magnetic structure mainly includes:
-
Adhesive backing: Industrial-grade glue fixes the magnet in the magnetic ring, ensuring it remains stable even if it is shaken violently.
-
Ring magnet array: The neodymium magnet is embedded in the base of the clip in a ring shape to ensure that the magnetic force is evenly distributed and prevents accidental slipping.
- Protective layer: The surface of the magnet is usually covered with a rubber or silicone layer to avoid scratching your phone.
3. How strong is the suction force of the magnetic holder?
In the application of magnetic technology, adsorption force is an important unit of consideration, and its strength level determines its reliability. When it is used in mobile phone clamps, it must reach the standard magnetic force. Magnetic force is usually measured in Newtons (N) or grams (g). According to the size and composition of the magnet, the magnetic force is divided into:
-
Weak magnetic force (5-10N): This type of magnetic force is suitable for lightweight devices. However, it is relatively weak, generally used only in a few scenarios, and risky to use outdoors.
-
Standard magnetic force (10-15N): The magnetic force is appropriate and suitable for most smartphones (such as iPhone 12 to iPhone 16 series, Samsung Galaxy S24, etc.).
- Strong magnetic force (15N+): The magnetic force is relatively strong and is designed for outdoor environments or large devices.
The Lumipia magnetic selfie stick series usually uses a 12N magnet array, which is stable in most environments. For example, you can hold the phone stably while traveling or vlogging, and it is also portable.
4. How does the magnetic holder work with the selfie stick?
The application of magnetic selfie sticks in mobile phones can avoid the trouble of traditional spring clamps. Traditional spring clamps require you to adjust manually, which is cumbersome and may even damage the device. It is not easy when you adjust the angle. The magnetic clamp has optimized this point and has become an increasingly popular selfie stick.
So how does it work?
-
Stick and use: Align the phone (or magnetic case) with the clip, lock it instantly, and firmly adsorb MagSafe devices or phones equipped with magnetic rings
-
360-degree free rotation: freely adjust the shooting angle and switch freely between horizontal and vertical modes
-
Quick installation and removal: Compared with traditional mobile phone spring clamps, magnetic brackets allow you to operate easily and remove or install the adsorbed phone at any time
- Stable support: The strong neodymium magnet built into the bracket can evenly exert magnetic force to ensure that the phone remains stable in different environments or under strong swings
5. How to use the magnetic selfie stick?
Before using the magnetic selfie stick, you need to prepare your mobile device and make sure that the mobile phone is equipped with a magnetic case or supports MagSafe
-
Unfold the selfie stick body: unlock the selfie stick and adjust it to the desired length, or use the selfie stick directly by hand, and you can switch to tripod mode to take group photos or time-lapse videos
-
Accurately adsorb the phone: align the phone with the magnetic area and tap it to attract.
- Adjust the right angle: You can rotate the clip 360° to adjust the shooting composition.
