Turtleback Turtle Jacket for iPhone 4


There’s been a rapid growth in number of people who take pictures with the iPhone. With the improved camera functions, the iPhone 4 became a strong competitor in the compact digital camera market. The idea of using the iPhone as a camera is not only attractive, because of its great camera functions, but it also has a wide variety of applications available on the App Store to further the photo/video taking experience. However, there are limitations to the iPhone itself, this is where Turtleback comes in. Solving these issue, Turtleback have designed a jacket that would allow iPhone users to mount the iPhone on a tripod and attach conversion lenses to it. By using the Turtleback jacket you could utilize the numerous conversion lenses that you’ve bought to use with your camcorder and you’ll also be able to mount your iPhone on a tripod. Offered above is a look at the setup, available to purchase directly throughTurtleback.
