Are you a budding photographer, a seasoned pro or just a hipster looking to fit in with the rest of the crowd? Then the ‘iPhone SLR mount’ is the gadget for you.
Photography, as an art form, has exploded over the last decade, mainly due to the digitalisation of the camera itself. Now technology has just moved things one step further.
Before the iPhone SLR mount, if you wanted to take professional looking photos with all the cool artsy filter effects then you’d have to go and buy a ridiculously expensive SLR camera, which would set you back an arm and a leg… and then some.
The other problem with high end SLRs is the size of them. The majority of SLRs are so big and bulky that you can’t walk around without it hanging off some part of your body, in full view of everyone else. This can make you look like either: a) a tourist or b) a pretentious douche.
Now, however, there’s no need to worry about breaking your neck carrying a ‘dead weight’ around the place while looking like a wandering fool, as the iPhone SLR mount takes the hassle out of capturing professional looking photos.
As you can see, the mount transforms your iPhone photos into relative works of art
So what does the mount do? Well, it allows you to attach your Canon EOS or Nikon SLR lens to your iPhone, giving your iPhone powerful depth of field and manual focus.
There is one tiny glitch that might cause one or two people to scratch their heads though. Your iPhone doesn’t have tiny mirrors in it to invert the image the right way up (like in a normal camera) so when you take a photo it actually looks as if it’s upside down.
However, this is easily solved by downloading the ‘Almost DSLR’ app from the App Store for just €1.59. This nifty little app also lets you do a tonof other cool things to the photos that you want to take.
The iPhone SLR mount currently sells for €190 over on Photojojo.com and it will turn your humble iPhone into a crime stopping, lady-catching, money-making machine. Well, it’s not that good… but it certainly lets you take top class photos with your iPhone and it’s a damn sight cheaper than the competition.
