Turn the iPhone into an action camera
With the arrival of summer, the subject of sports photography has become particularly relevant - citizens are actively involved in diving, riding motorcycles and bicycles and are interested in other interesting things in the fresh air. And many “enthusiasts” are not averse to filming their “skills” on video and boast on YouTube. Therefore, once again, skimming the stream of press releases, I drew attention to the "sports theme" for the iPhone. I can’t count myself among the lovers of apple mobile technology. Nevertheless, the action-cover offered in the message can be very useful for owners of Apple smartphones.
So, in front of us is the Optrix XD5 case, which simultaneously serves as both shockproof and waterproof. The last point is characterized by the possibility of immersing the smartphone in a case to a depth of one meter. The most it is for shallow underwater filming somewhere in the resort. The creators approached the durability of the cover extremely responsibly, making a choice in favor of the construction of a "monocoque" instead of forming a "shell" of several parts. Such a construction, as I was informed, is used in Formula 1 race cars. The body is made of polycarbonate with a rubberized surface inside.
However, this is not the most interesting. Right in the case integrated wide-angle lens, consisting of three elements. As a result, we get a decent picture in any weather, plus a viewing angle of 175 degrees. The top action camera GoPro HD HERO 3 Black Edition, if that, the "ceiling" - 170 degrees.
In the course of operation, two pluses of the cover will be useful - a flip cover (charging without removing the smartphone) and a headphone hole. That is, you can listen to music right during the ski slope or check-in moto trial.

But most of all I liked not the materials, not the shooting with a wide viewing angle, or even the special programs on the App Store (for shooting and editing video). In my opinion, the main thing in sports shooting is a quality mount. Judging by the attached “picche”, in the arsenal of Optrix XD5 there are as many as 9 brackets for all occasions. From the usual to the exotic. I wonder how you can use the pan on the platform with the wheels?
Information about the price tag in a press release, I did not find. Browsing the online stores showed that Optrix XD5 costs around 4-6 thousand rubles. True, I did not understand what fasteners are included and where these holders are available for "solo" purchase.
