Red Pop Grip Adds A Physical Camera Shutter Button To iPhone 4

Beep Industries, the same guys that brought you the super simple MoviePeg stand for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, are bringing back the physical shutter release button with their new accessory called the Red Pop for the iPhone 4. Well it isn't really going to bring back any physical shutter release button to iPhone 4 but you get the idea. The Red Pop adds a big red button to your iPhone 4 that acts as the camera shutter button and allowing you to take shots like you would with any other camera more easily and with less downtime between shots, all without touching the screen. Red Pop will only work with the free Red Pop app and will automatically launch as soon as the Red Pop is connected to the iPhone 4 via the dock connector. Beep Industries are looking to expand compatibility with other camera apps as well.

The body of the Red Pop is made out of aluminum with a black rubber grip. It's currently available to pre-order for $75 on Kickstarter. Catch the video after the jump.
