The support MagSafe de Belkin is certainly the best accessory for the continuity function on the camera available on macOS Ventura and iOS 16. As a reminder, this one allows touse an iPhone as a webcam for the computer, knowing that no integrated webcam – and especially not on the Mac – is able to compete with the photo sensors of the smartphone!
To facilitate the use of this function, Belkin has therefore launched a support which is placed on the edge of the MacBook screen. Unfortunately, the small piece of plastic cannot be installed on the edge of other screens, for example that of the Studio Display or an UltraFine.
Testing Belkin’s MagSafe mount to turn iPhone into Mac’s webcam
The prop maker, who we know is very close to Apple, now has a solution: a new MagSafe support for desktop Macs. The design of the product is such that it should fit most screens, regardless of width. In addition, it is possible to position the iPhone in portrait or landscape, and to modify the viewing angle (from vertical to 25 degrees downwards).
The device, which can also be installed on screw tripods, works with all MagSafe iPhones (since iPhone 12), including when they are protected by a MagSafe case. The price is 30 $, support is not yet available in France. And you will have to take your troubles patiently, in the United States it is not delivered before 4 to 6 weeks.
