Monday Fun Video: OWLE Hacks iPhone into Near-Broadcast Quality Video Rig
Take on OWLE team, add a hack into the iPhone dock connector, and what do you get? According to TechCrunch:
The latest prototype that OWLE has developed, which is different than what they start shipping tomorrow, allows you to use lenses with depth of field and telephoto effects, XLR microphones (both wired and wireless microphones), stereo microphones and more. Basically, it allows you to plug in any professional audio equipment that filmmakers use, on your iPhone. The mics are plugged in through the 30 pin, and the telephoto lens was cobbled together.
RED likely need not be fearful… yet!

Ok, a little geeky, but a production/iPhone guy says, “Thats awesome.”

I’m actually amazed how easy it is to cobble together lenses for the iPhone when you need one.
I got this shot of a Golden Eagle by simply holding the camera up to the lens of a tripod mounted 16x Binoculars. The tree was well over a city block away.

I’m confused as to why a video would be posted on here that can’t be viewed from the iPhone. Just me?

@icebike That’s excellent!
@Jose Video plays fine on my iPhone.
