Figured it was only a matter of time before this came out. For $80 its not a bad deal either, about the same as what a chesty and case would cost for the GoPro. It doesn't look like it'll protect the phone as well as more expensive options though.
Other mounting points/options would be handy.

think its fake...
Why? I mean I'll stick with my more disposable GoPro but everything looks pretty legit to me.Quote:

i have the 4 and the 4S it doesnt have such a wide angle and it just looks as too good of quality. Unless its through an app? and I cant even picture how the phone stays so steady.. I could be wrong but I have taken a lot videos with both phones and cant compare to the gopro.Quote:

just my opinion through I could be wrong
It gets the wide angle using an external lens in the case.

interesting.. like I said I could be wrong I was going 100% of how the phone records on its own.. if its real its pretty sick but still if you wanna be realistic a 4S 16GB is 649.99+ taxes. thats 3 GoProsQuote:

The lens is nifty. But the image quality looks a little dodgy. Am I alone here?
Any other mounting options, other than the harness?
Got my contour for $90.
cool...nice way to consolidate for some people
I personally need double duty though...multiple mounts is a must, and potential damage risk is high on dirtybike with all the crashing...
:topic:$80? what kind of insurance is that?Quote:

Nope, Might be high res 1080p, but that doesn't guarantee the picture quality is any good. And that looked like dog piss compared to GoPro results.Quote:

I replaced it for $32. Looks great.
Insurance is a waste at those prices.
cant believe i havent smashed mine yet, those cheap cases actually do work. i'm using the ifrogz thin one, dropped it on hard tile twice.
semi-related... have you guys seen this? Liquipel coating completely waterproofs the phone without a case.
I drop my skinned iphone all the damned time. Just did it 20 min ago daydreaming in a meeting. Dropped it once from ~chest height onto concrete at a home center. Can't believe it isn't smashed to bits yet.
a guy from my town invented a similar type of waterproofing a few years ago called golden shellback...Quote:

Pretty much any piece of electronics can be dunked in water for short periods of time and still work if properly dried.
I actually know a lot of people that wash their video cards under tap water to clean them off.
DI is preferred. Shit, just about every piece of electronics manufactured uses DI throughout the whole process. The problems are operation when wet and corrosion.Quote:
