Capta iPhone & Smartphone Hybrid Tripod Mount Review

/

Smartphone photography is a fast growing niche. Since the dawn of the iPhone 4, smartphone photography has come a long way with the help of improved camera specs and accessories like the Glif and olloclip to name a few. The first tripod mount adapter for the iPhone that we've reviewed was the Glif mount. A simple little black plastic corner rail that worked perfectly doing what it does. The Capta is yet another tripod mounting adapter, only that it has much more to offer.

The Capta's ability to support many different types of smartphones is only the beginning of what makes it an awesome tripod adapter. How well does this 3-in-1 piece of kit work out you ask? You'll get your questions answered in the full review down below!

iPhone 4S 8MP Camera Review

/

The iPhone 4S with its new and highly regarded backside-illuminated 8-megapixel camera is a powerful piece of technology. Apple has improved the speed of the shutter and the tap-to-focus. It takes seconds to snap a beautiful and crisp photo! Using the tap to focus feature becomes very useful to get the shallow depth of field effect. It'll not match your DSLR but it's quite impressive for a smart phone camera. In some of the images below, you will notice different focus points. Apple went ahead and added the grid, which lets you compose better aligned shots. We've got full 1080p videos and an un-retouched photo gallery testing the iPhone 4S' well equipped back shooter waiting for you right after the break!
