Belkin has unveiled the Stage PowerGrip, an innovative accessory for iPhone users, at CES 2025. This product combines a magnetic 10,000mAh battery pack with a DSLR-style ergonomic grip designed for photography. It will be available in May, with pricing still pending.
The Stage PowerGrip, resembling a classic point-and-shoot camera, features Bluetooth pairing to activate a shutter button for capturing photos through the iOS camera app. When attached to an iPhone 12 or newer via its MagSafe-capable ring, the attachment serves multiple purposes: it acts as a stand for both vertical and horizontal viewing and allows for wireless charging at a maximum of 7.5 watts. The inclusion of a retractable USB-C cable enables faster charging for both the iPhone and other devices. Additionally, a single USB-C port is located on the side of the grip for convenient recharging of the power bank itself or other devices.
The PowerGrip showcases an LED screen, which provides users with battery level information. Belkin will offer the PowerGrip in five color options: powder blue, lavender, sandbox, fresh yellow, and pepper. While the pricing remains undisclosed, if it proves to be more affordable than competitors like Apple’s ShiftCam ProGrip, it is anticipated to attract consumers interested in enhancing their iPhone photography experience.
Belkin is also highlighting its commitment to sustainability at CES 2025. With a focus on reducing ecological footprints, the brand has begun transitioning to products that utilize up to 90% recycled materials. This initiative follows its earlier efforts when it introduced products made with 72-75% post-consumer recycled materials. Over the past two years, Belkin has replaced 432 metric tons of virgin plastic with recycled content across more than 359 products.
At the event, Belkin showcased its new lineup, which features several chargers and cables made from 85-90% recycled materials. The updated accessories include the 45W and 65W Dual USB-C Wall Chargers and various GaN wall chargers, all expected to launch in Q2 2025. These products will be certified by the Global Recycling Standard and packaged in plastic-free materials, which is projected to reduce CO2-eq emissions by up to 84.8%.
Additionally, Belkin introduced the BoostCharge Power Bank 20K, which offers 30-watt charging and includes an integrated cable for convenience. The power bank’s 20,000mAh capacity can deliver multiple charges to various devices and will be available in April for $49.99 in several colors.
New audio and content creation products
Belkin also unveiled new audio products aimed at enhancing the listening experience. The SoundForm Anywhere earbuds are designed for comfort and fitness, equipped with a total battery life of 27 hours and active noise cancellation capabilities. These will be available in Q2 2025, with prices still to be announced.
The SoundForm Isolate headphones represent Belkin’s entry into over-ear audio devices, featuring hybrid active noise cancellation, a foldable design, and a unique built-in relaxation track. Priced at $59.99, these headphones are available now on Belkin’s website and select retailers.
Moreover, the Stage Creator Bundle, aimed at content creators, includes a tripod, magnetic phone mount, and wearable microphones, simplifying video and audio recording. This kit is set for release in May 2025 and is designed to provide all the necessary tools for aspiring creators.
In summary, Belkin’s announcements at CES 2025 reflect a dual focus on innovative technology and sustainability. With the Stage PowerGrip and a variety of new products aimed at enhancing everyday technology use, the company’s commitment to responsible manufacturing appears to align with current consumer demands for eco-friendly solutions. The complete details, including pricing for various items, will be revealed closer to their respective launch dates, leaving space for further developments in the coming months.
