The PlanckGear Story

When Your Phone Becomes the Studio

PlanckGear was born from a simple observation: our phones had become our main cameras, but storage was still stuck in the laptop era. Traditional drives were bulky, cable-heavy, and never truly designed to live on a rig, in a pocket, or on a keychain next to your phone. So the team behind ShiftCam set out to rethink memory from the ground up—what would storage look like if it were created first for mobile shooting, high-bitrate video, and creators who live on their phones?

Planck CreatorSSD: Big Capacity, Pocket-Sized

The answer became Planck Creator SSD: an ultra-compact, phone-first NVMe SSD that packs up to 2TB into a body small enough to disappear in your palm, while delivering up to 10 Gbps transfer speeds and sustained performance for 4K/120 Apple ProRes recording on the latest iPhones.

 First previewed at CES and then launched on Kickstarter, Planck quickly resonated with creators, travelers, and professionals who needed serious capacity and reliability without the usual bulk—ultimately attracting thousands of backers and raising over HK$4 million in support.

Memory That Moves at the Speed of Your Ideas

But PlanckGear is more than just a tiny drive. It’s a design philosophy: memory that moves at the speed of your ideas, and hardware that respects the way you actually work. Dust- and drop-resistant construction, thoughtful accessories, and gimbal-friendly direct-plug workflows all exist to keep your setup clean, compact, and dependable—whether you’re shooting on an iPhone, Android, tablet, or laptop.

In a world where internal storage fills up fast and file sizes only get larger, PlanckGear aims to be the invisible backbone of modern mobile creation—quietly handling the heavy lifting so you can stay focused on the story in front of the lens.
