Belkin announced LiveAction Camera accessories for the iPhone and iPod touch which offer a better way to snap photos and record video, along with a new LiveAction App.
“Our new LiveAction Camera App and products enable that spontaneity, but also provide an enhanced camera experience that feels more like that of a traditional point-and-shoot camera. It’s the best of both worlds,” said Jamie Elgie, senior director of Belkin’s mobility division.
LiveAction Camera Grip (model F8Z888)
With a contoured, soft-touch design and external shutter button, the LiveAction Camera Grip transforms an iPhone or iPod touch into a traditional digital camera, allowing the user to take pictures quickly, easily, and comfortably. The Camera Grip attaches to the charge connector of the device and fits easily over most cases. The integrated tripod mount attaches to any standard tripod for more stabilized control. Separate buttons for photo and video allow the photographer to quickly switch from taking stills to recording live action. The LiveAction Grip requires the use of the LiveAction App. Attaching the Camera Grip immediately activates the app, making it seamless and easy to use on the go.
