I love the module even though I wish it was a bit thinner. I had to buy a special case for accommodating the module. Otherwise it works great with the G5. I am happy with the product. The LG G5 has may be the best camera and lens among the smartphones and with the module it even get more features for taking great photography.

It does not work at all. Said to be compatible with LG 5 H845 but it is absolutly dead. I tried three pieces of this product. No led is lit event long hours of charging.

Does what its supposed to albeit in a not so userfriendly manner. At its current price, its not too bad a deal. Buy it for the novelty of it all if for anything else because it does work. However this is definitely not a musthave item. Youll be fine without it.
inuit71 –
Only thing I didnt take into consideration is the case I have on the phone, it interferes putting it on the dock. So Ill take my case off

Great to hold on your hand

This camera grip battery pack does its job but I have a few issues with it. The zoom wheel is too loose and I often bump it accidentally, causing me to switch between cameras on the G5 when I dont mean to. Also, sometimes the slide button to turn on the camera doesnt respond to the first press. Also it seems that the halfpress on the shutter button always focuses in the center of the frame, which is not very useful. All in all, at a steeply discounted price, it is worth a try if you think you might like it.

This Product gives some quick camera functionality and a little bit of extra battery juice. To people already swapping batteries instead of plugging in this is of little help. You cannot charge it outside your phone. and when its fully charged it slowly discharges keeping your battery reading at 100 until gone then discharges your swapable battery. Creates a little awkwardness in the way its weighted and would be much better with a 2030 dollar price tag.

The CBG720 is the ATT variant for CAM PLUS. Not to be confused with the CBG700 which works with almost all other carriers. This allows me to use a dedicated camera button and hold my phone in a more natural shooting position. It works great and was immediately recognized by my ATT phone H820. It also adds about 1000mah of battery life. For the price , it was a great dedicated camera option for vacation, birthday party , etc. Due to the bulk I wont be using it full time, only when I plan on taking lots of pictures.

I got it 8 and it well worth for a trip taking many photos. However, you dont need it everyday.

Worked perfectly once USB was set properly.

So I just got mine and I love it and it does work for ATT like it says also that price is unbeatable

I dont know why people hate or talk bad about this product… Its awesome.. I love it.. Not just it helps with camera controls.. It also gives my phone almost 40 extra battery and a nice grip while holding.. Because of extra weight at the bottom the phone does not flip from your hands..
Daniel –
This is not useful because it cannot be applied to another case of G5. You have to get rid of the case of G5 to use this module, but its irritating. You have to charge this before the first usage.

Would not recommend to anyone

Very good
toeknee28 –
Great price for this lg g5 cam plus controls. It has a internal battery that charges up your battery and just the right amount of grip when holding the phone. Just stinks you need a whole other case for it. Otherwise good piece of equipment.

For the price, this is a must have for any G5 owner. The zoom feature makes it easy to frame a picture and the buttons are much better than trying to use the screen.
materialgirl29 –
I cant use a wireless charger because I have a magnet on the back of my phone for mounting in my truck. So I put this charging stand beside my bed and I love it. You can adjust the height of the connector so it works with a case on your phone or without. I have a galaxy s9 with an otterbox commuter and it works great
bigal498 –
Easy to use. Works great. Cant understand why so many people had problems with Cam Plus. The price is so good its almost to steal. The only drawback is I have to take my holster case off to change the module… but that was a known, known.

muy buen producto
bsherlock44 –
Does what LG said it would. Camera button and zoom are easy to use with one hand and dont need to look at the screen to find a shutter button which can be good for quick shots of things that are moving, etc. Backup battery is not a bad idea either.
frastei0 –
It doesnt work I installed it I tried to use it it will not snap a picture it fits and looks good but it doesnt work you can take a picture the old regular way in the front but not with the cam Plus so it was a waste of my money and theres nothing to protect your cell phone because theres no case that fits the cam Plus so theres nothing to protect your cell phone it was a bad purchase good idea bad purchase Im very disappointed that it didnt work
therby60 –
Nice grip, comfortable in the hand. The zoom is easier to use than the one on the screen. The switch allows a straight to the camera use without having to wake up the phone first. Its convenient and provides good strong feel. The shutter clicks with the switch on top like a camera. Yep, I like it. The shipping was quick. Thanks

When you purchase the cam plus modular friend for your lg g5 be sure its the version thats compatible with your LG G5 phone. I have the ATT unlocked lg g5 and this friend works great. And the price and shipping time cannot be beat. Love it

androidlegend87 –
Although it is definitely not worth the original 70 price, for the 5 price most sellers are asking for even in brand new condition it makes a nice add on thats relatively easy to use. Beware, if you want to use this as an extended battery pack you will have to activate every 5 minutes or so. Also, cases for the G5 with this add on are difficult to find.

Cam Plus is a great addon which boosts battery life and adds cool camera controls. Adds a great grip to the G5. Battery life was an issue with the G5 until now.
burganfam –
Adds an extra 1200 mAh of battery and makes the camera function more fun to use.
grigorg82 –
Here are points from my usage o Provides extra 1200mah battery. o Does not improve shooting experience much. For me boils down mainly to auto prefocus ability with a button. o When attached charges the phone even when it is completely full. After that depletes and becomes unusable. Could not prevent from doing this. o Makes phone charging slow. Input max 500ma vs 1800ma without it. Worth playing with for the discounted price. Maybe useful but power banks are more versatile. CBG 720 also works for Canadian H831 G5.

As I said, a neat little device, but not practical. More of a party trick kind of thing. Its supposed to help with one hand operation, but the first time I tried that I dropped my phone, so not a good start. The focus dial is a bit too small for me and overall the attachment doesnt add anything to the cameras quality or ease of use. Ultimately it offers more hassle than convenience. Unless you choose to leave it on all the time which can help extend your battery life since it has a separate one built in. If you go that route then good luck finding a case that fits. Again, neat, but just not practical.

Limited instructions, LG offer limited instructions on the installation. ATT Cell phones doesnt come with the firmware installed in the phones. Not easy to locate the firmware to install on the phones. The reviews are average and some unit malfuntion after used 2 or 3 time….is a gamble
corvette7495336 –
Great Just make sure which one do you want they are I think three different kinds you got the CBG 700 CBG 710 CBG 720 this one is for ATT also make sure your software is up to date and charge your cam green light on not red. Good luck

This is a good idea but it doesnt go far enough. If it had added features for the camera such as a second lense for 3d filming or turning the on screen buttons off for a less cluttered camera screen.

I really like this product. However one does have to be very careful to make sure to purchase the correct version of it to be compatible with your LG G5. For the TMobile, LG G5, this model, the CBG700 is the correct model and it works flawlessly.

The G5 Cam Plus provides an extended battery along with ergonomic camera controls. Make sure to buy the correct version for your phone according to the region of use. This particular one is North America use only. The Cam Plus will require the LG Friends Manager app for operation. After download and running LG Friends manager the LG Cam Plus manager will be downloaded. Phone casescovers for the G5 with the Cam Plus are difficult to find but are available.

Im a keen photographer and I love the LG phones because their cameras are way better in my opinion then other phone manufacturers out there…so I decided to go ahead and buy this add on module for those days I go out and just take photos with my phone..Of course I use my real camera for the more serious pictures..but this phone can take some awesome shots when needed…anyway…The first thing I needed to do was charge the module as it has its own built in power supply..and as some have mentioned it does actually top your phone up for about 5 mins when initially connected..but after this it looks after itself…Of course you cannot use your phone cover should you have one fitted …leaving it to any knocks or drops…the price you have to pay to use this module,but its worth it..Once fitted you have full control of taking photos and using the zoom with a jog wheel…I found it quite positive,unlike some who said it was a bit willy nilly…I didnt find this…I found it quite responsive and accurate…What I liked the most was the fact you could get a good grip of your phone and using it one handed was a doddle and it felt more secure then just the camera itself…Is it a gimmick…..I dont think so on a personal level…but thats because Im a keen photographer…the casual user will probably think different…but everyone has their opinion…Like I said earlier…I got it at a much reduced price so it was a sweeter deal for me and I like it …a lot…my one star reduction was simply due to the fact I cant use my phone case as well….Cheers.

The modular adapter that gives the phone more power, be careful though these are model specific to your carrier. Now that that is out the way you ha e just purchased a add in that will help turn the already awesome camera into a phenomenal one. Now I am not a fan of a case less phone but it is necessary to take advantage of all the features and be unique because everyone has a iPhone and iPhones have crap cameras along with buggy Eco systems but I digress here is the deal external controls to give us shutter bugs more control over the camera and to boot u get a secondary battery . Now there are some naysayers who be moan the bump that ruins the sleek lines of the phone, but hey you have a 16mp shooter that has full dslr controls, ois stability, multi modes, wide angle and zoom functions why would you not want a add on that takes advantage of these features BY giving you more power external zoom a dedicated shutter and record button
