HANSNAP is the world’s first hand-mounted smartphone filming system.
HANSNAP was born from a simple question: For decades, cameras and video recorders have come with handles and straps for stability and security. iPhones and GoPros have now replaced most other consumer cameras — why don’t they have stability straps and handles?
***UPDATE: HANSNAP IS ON THE FINAL ROUND OF SHARK TANK!!!***
If we make it past this round, we will be on the show!!!
KICKSTARTER SUCCESS:
Our successful Kickstarter campaign resulted in exceeding our funding goal, becoming staff pick, and incredible press coverage in over twlelve countries.
NOW SOLD AT SELECT VERIZON STORES!
Immediately following the campaign, we landed a partnership with Verizon for HANSNAP to be sold in 33 retail location across Northern California.
TARGET MARKETS:
Whether you’re a parent capturing footage of your young children, a traveler recording your train winding through the andes, or an action junkie looking for stability, HANSNAP makes it easier than ever before to get high quality footage with the recorder you already have at hand.
Never worry about shaky footage and damaged phones again. HANSNAP is here to rid the world of unwatchable video and lost phones.
Behind a team of creative geniuses, HANSNAP is just our first product that will forever change the mobile world we live in.
We have shipped over 300 customers and have a number of exciting partnerships in the works!
The Verizon retail pilot is a commercial test which will lead to national distribution.
We have also partnered with the hugely successful Deathlens brand, maker of smartphone cases and camera phone lenses.
We are also in discussions with Six Flags as they are looking for a replacement item for the recently banned selfie stick.
We have a fantastic manufacturing partner in Asia that can handle high volume quantities. We have a national fulfillment center that can fulfill any quantity required. They currently handle all fulfillment for the top tier phone case company, Speck Products. We are working on several sales distribution channels — Verizon and Six Flags, but also action sports stores Tillys and Zumies, both current distributors of Deathlens.
All this success has gotten us some pretty sweet press coverage from publications like Digital Trends, Yahoo, Mobilefun, Trusted Reviews,The Gadget Flow, and Wearable FOMO, including recognition for a “Most Innovative Kickstarter” category.
We have also filed a U.S. Utility patent (protecting our function, process, and), and are also patent pending in 148 countries.
We are currently taking orders at HANSNAP.com which has been accumulating orders organically.
HANSNAP is just the beginning. We have several more products in the pipeline:

HANSNAP: Hands-free, awesome angles, stable footage, #NeverDrop
From that initial thought at the concert, “wouldn’t be awesome to film myself crowdsurfing without being scared of dropping my phone?” to the countless days spent skating, and climbing, and travelling, HANSNAP has forever eliminated damaged electronics and unstable footage.
The universal adapter plate allows HANSNAP to be used with phones, GoPros, and tablets.
We created HANSNAP for ourselves, and by extension, people like us — adventurers, explorers, parents — people who want to see and remember the world the way it really is. Not some constant earthquake, hand tremor version.
