Ultimate Action Cam

The E-Clips video camera expands on the capabilities of the compact handheld with an easy-to-use system of quick-release mounts. The snap-and-go design makes it possible to seamlessly transition between uses in seconds. Snap to a bike, attach to a helmet, or mount it on any other surface and control power and recording options wirelessly using the included digital wristband!

There is a growing trend in concept cameras to include simple gestures to control its functions. We first saw this with the Air Clicker Camera and now it’s surfaced once again with the Take Frame. The idea here is to ‘crop’ the picture you want to click using the two crop tools, just like how you would use your thumb and forefinger. Interesting the way this industry is innovating.

Crop Pics in a Jiffy

The general norm is to go back home and touch up pictures that you have clicked using a computer. Cropic Digital Camera eliminates the step by allowing you to crop pictures and remove obtrusive background elements, right on the spot, on the camera. A dedicated button for the same lets you make the adjustments and save the perfect pic!

Print Picture Anywhere

The Rub View Camera is quite a clever concept. It builds up on where the Polaroid camera left off. Don’t be fooled by the slim design and packaging because beneath all that glitz is a camera capable of transferring images to a blank paper in a jiffy. The designer has not elaborated on it, but the little we know is that it works on the concept of transferring the image like how you would do screen printing on cloth. It certainly adds a kitsch element to taking pictures and sharing them.

The Rub View is a 2012 if Design Talents Entry.

Mophie Outride

Turn your iPhone into a waterproof wide-angle POV camera
Mophie-Outride-1.jpg

As enthusiasm for compact personal POV cameras like GoPro and Contour continues to grow, iPhone accessory innovator Mophie recently released their solution to the dedicated camera system, Outride. The mountable case and app turns your iPhone into a protected video camera, allowing you to use your most readily available and familiar device for capturing the excitement.

Using multiple mounts the rugged, waterproof case can be affixed on a wide range of surfaces—surfboard, skateboard, bike—with minimal risk of damage to your device. The lightweight polycarbonate housing also features an integrated wide-angle lens with 170 degrees of capture, while the free Outride app lets you view footage, make edits and share videos through various social channels—meaning more than just your nearest friend can see the aftermath of the inevitable “watch this” moment.

Set to drop mid-September, Outride will be available directly from Mophie online for between $130 and $150.


Astro

A panning companion for time-lapse photography
Astro-1.jpeg

The past year has seen the kickstarting of heaps of useful camera tools for photographers and videographers, and the hits just keep on coming. Astro joins the pack as an intervalometer and motion control device for time-lapse photography. Three stacked aluminum disks control the range, duration and interval for your shot with a design as clean as an egg timer. Astro promises to take time-lapse footage to the next level with panning for a more dynamic effect.

The usability of the device is the real clincher. Virtually any camera with a remote output can pair with Astro to control shutter release intervals if the time-lapse function isn’t built in to the camera’s software. The panning functions—range and duration—are run independently of the camera. Two buttons below the disk are used to determine the direction of Astro’s rotation and speed while mounted to a tripod. Astro is also developing an app for Android and iOS that will allow users to program a full time-lapse plan and upload it to the device directly—expanding Astro’s capability from simple panning to include accelerated and slowed movements to ease in or out of a scene.

On our recent trip to Zambia, we had plenty of chances to take in Africa’s luminous night sky, and a panning option would have helped to take in a broader landscape. While Astro has already blown its $50,000 goal out of the water after a few short days, the device has 31 more days to fill pre-order slots for an initial run of production. Currently, people can pledge to receive Astro in silver and limited edition black for $180 and $200 with delivery expected in December 2012.


Langly Camera Bags

WWII inspired rucksacks blend form and function

Langly-Alpha.jpg

Any design-minded photographer would agree that when it comes to camera bags, there’s often an unfortunate gap between form and function. On one end you have the ultra tech-centric box bags worthy of space travel and on the other, more stylish end, you don’t have many options at all. To address this discrepancy, LA-based photographer Evan Lane founded Langly bags, a Kickstarter-funded company making rucksack-style camera bags designed for the nomadic photojournalist. Inspired by WWII-era military gear, the two Alpha and Delta bags get the job done with subtle style.

Langly-Laptop-sleeve.jpg Langly-Delta.jpg

Essentially two bags in one, the clever design—made with waterproof canvas and rich leather detailing—divides each carryall into two compartments with a single bisecting zipper. The lower portion acts like any regular camera bag, with rearrangeable padded sleeves for a camera body and two lenses, while the top-loading upper serves as a roomy satchel for everything else, with a filleting pocket for your laptop along the back.

With three days left in the Kickstarter campaign there’s still time to support the already-funded project. Pledge $25 and be rewarded with a 11×17 pigment print shot and printed by Lane, or go all out with $160 or more and receive a Langly bag with your contribution.

Black Box Film With a Digital Twist

The ‘Flash³’ camera design stemmed from the blending of retro ‘black box’ film camera with digitalization. Keeping the design to a minimum, it sports a touchscreen and perpetuates the enhancement of the internal flash. As the designer points out, ironically a camera was a box to capture light, yet to keep it out simultaneously. This version celebrates the paradox in a very flashy manner!

Dani explains, “The Flash³ celebrates light. A camera no longer needs to hide internal functions – or shield from external light. This version is inspired by the Hasselblad and sports a similar form.”

Features:

  • The Flash³ is cubed in shape and has the LCD touch screen on the top surface.
  • The shutter release is at the back with the optional attachment of a manual external shutter release cord, which doesn’t feature in a regular digital camera.
  • It has a square sensor; therefore the photographs are square format.
  • We aren’t restricted to a 35mm film anymore, so why are we reproducing standard ratio photographs with cameras that externally fit around that shape.
  • As you flick the on switch forward, the box comes alive, the lens pokes its head out and focuses, and the screen lights up; but the real bolt of energy comes when you turn out the lights.
  • The internalized flash spreads over the whole cube; it jumps out from all angles – lighting not only your subject, but yourself and the surrounding pace.
