KiipixPortable Photo Printer | Instant Compact Printer For iPhone and Android | Print Instax Photos Directly From Your Smartphone - Jet Black

I bought this for my girlfriend on her birthday, and it is one of the best presents I have ever bought.Many reviews have mentioned how this product prints poor quality photos or just does not work at all. If you buy this product, I recommend that you watch a proper tutorial on YouTube and make sure that this is actually right for you.This device does not come with any film, so make sure to buy Instax Mini Film along with the product so you can actually use it.Advantages over a polaroid camera:1) You can align your phone to get whatever photo you have on your phone to make sure that you do not waste film.2) With a bit of practice, you can manage a double exposure photo. It is worthwhile finding a tutorial on YouTube on how to achieve this.3) Much cheaper than a polaroid camera whilst yielding the same quality pictures.4) You can print anything from your phoneDisadvantages to a polaroid camera:1) Although it says that this is portable, which is true, I could not image taking this around everywhere with you day to day. It is probably best to leave at home for when you want to print out a photo on to film.2) It takes a bit more practice to get it right. As I have said, it would be wise to watch a tutorial on YouTube to make sure that you can see exactly what it is that you need to be wary of. This includes making sure your phone brightness is all the way up and turning auto dim off, which can be slightly inconvenient to keep doing.This product does everything that it says it does. Polaroid photos are quite trendy at the moment with good reason. They are a lovely, stylish format to have your photos as and this device makes that accessible at a good price.

I bought this as a gift in december for a friend, when we try to use it only to pictures came out right. Today I have tried again, and I wasted 16 pictures, all of them are pure black, and even whatchin ten tutorials, I can't understand what I am doing wrong, because I dont think I am. So this is not easy at all to use, I wouldn't buy it again.

Loads of people don't bother printing their pictures these days, and you just end up with hundreds sitting on your phone. If you are one of these people then this might be for you.It is essentially a pinhole camera and built in stand. You simply rest your phone on top of the unit and then press the shutter button. You do need to make sure the phone screen stays on (check your phone settings as most switch off after a few seconds or when face down), and you have to line up the screen with the aperture on the top, but it is pretty simple to do.Once you have taken the picture of your mobile, you simply turn the knob on the side until your picture pops out. It then takes a couple of minutes to develop (we placed the pic face down to help develop - not sure if this actually works).The results are ok. You get a little, colour picture of what you want. It is a little darker than the screen, and a little bit less defined, but it is definitely something you can use and show people.There are no batteries required, no wifi connection, it is just a simple mechanical device. The only thing you will need is the special Fujifilm Instax paper, as this is stored in the base of the Kiipix. None comes with the Kiipix and I think you are looking at about 75p a photo.Yes you can get better quality pictures by going to a store, but this is very easy to use and quite fun.

Very useful and fun piece of kit. After reading a few reviews I was slighly apprehensive about getting it to work properly, but not to worry. The kit itself is fairly easy to use, you just need to set up your smart phone first - this means turning off any settings that dim the screen (battery saver mode, night mode etc) and ensure that your screen is set to the brightest possible, and isn't set to lock etc for at least a minute. I followed the instructions and chose a picture I had on my phone shot in the same image ratio as instax mini and it came out great.

I'm really not happy with this product. Whilst the idea of it is a good one, the very poor quality of each of the photos taken leaves me more than unhappy.Believe me I've done everything as laid out in the instructions, using more than 2 different smart phones. This is a very poor and expensive product.

After alot of research to find the right polaroid picture printer this came on top and for affordability...what a disappointment! It's still not that cheap especially having to buy the film seperate but we've tried and experimented many times to print a good picture and nothing seems to improve it. We checked reviews and tips to help print a decent image and they're either really dark, or too bright and very poor. I love that retro look and that's what I wanted but it's just sad that its not worked.It's easy to use and great you can choose which picture to print, but feels brittle like it'll just break, the shutter doesnt click properly so you have to be careful pressing it.Maybe it's a faulty camera or I'm missing something to help

Got this for my wife as a present. She has an instax camera thats broken with loads of film which was put to good use! She loved that you can print directly from your smartphone.

This works rather well, better than I thought it would. I bought it as a present and she loved it. No batteries needed so you don't have to worry about running out of power. You get to pick a photo off your phone, place it on the frame and click the button, end the handle and wait for it to naturally develop, just like a poloroid. It has a little view finder to help position it how you want it on the frame as some phones can be a bit larger than the frame itself.
