Innovatively, Founist vlogmate mini allows users to take high-quality selfies using the iPhone’s rear-facing camera system, while retaining all native camera functions. Thanks to its magnetic design, the product can securely adhere to the back of the iPhone, facilitating quick, convenient operation; at the same time, it supports wired connection, fundamentally ensuring seamless image synchronization—addressing common wireless issues like latency and interruption. Founist vlogmate mini also boasts a compact size (58×58×7.7 mm) and a light weight (about 50 g), offering exceptional portability. Moreover, it eliminates the demand for built-in batteries by drawing minimal power (0.6 W) directly from the iPhone, and can be simultaneously used with a magnetic power bank for continuous, uninterrupted operation. This product empowers users to fully leverage the outstanding imaging capabilities of the rear-facing camera system when taking selfies, enabling precise composition and dynamic focusing. As a result, it elevates every aspect of mobile photography—including pixel quality, image fidelity, video formatting, and creative flexibility—pushing the boundaries of professional mobile content creation.
Founist vlogmate mini is compatible with the full range of iPhone models from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 16. When paired with a docking station, it supports connection with solid state drives, third-party microphones, or chargers, providing more creative possibilities. Furthermore, it works seamlessly with popular apps such as TikTok, Ulike, and BeautyCam, allowing the real-time preview of all editing settings (filters, exposure effects, stickers, etc.)—adaptable to everyday life recording and even professional content creation. Additionally, the Bluetooth remote control function facilitates convenient long-range shooting, making the product effortlessly tackle various scenarios.
In terms of appearance design, Founist vlogmate mini embodies modern minimalism. It features simple, fluid lines, presenting a clean, sleek style; the square form with rounded corners strikes a perfect balance between internal structural efficiency and grip comfort; white as the main color—pure, minimalist, and versatile—adds a high-tech aesthetic and highlights the product’s professionalism.
