The Izzi Orbit Pro is very similar to products from OlloClip, as it is essentially giving your iPhone four different lenses. You can do some quick research about the 3-in-1 or the 4-in-1 at those links. You will note that Olloclip has lenses that you can screw on, but the Izzi Orbit Pro has a handy system for spinning them in place using the patented peripheral motion … [Read more...] about Izzi Orbit Pro gives the iPhone four different lenses

WEYE FEYE from XSories
I'm not certain if I can put some product label on the WEYE FEYE (pronounced Wee-Fee), but those who are really into their DSLR cameras will love this. I'm sure their are all kinds of photographers, both amateur and professional that this was made for. I'll start with an explanation of what XSories' WEYE FEYE is. The information that I have about it is that it is an … [Read more...] about WEYE FEYE from XSories
Autographer, the camera that you wear
Some of you might remember the Mother technology that I wrote about at CES 2014. I remember that I couldn't stop making Orwellian comparisons to this device. So much so, that I just stopped talking about it because it needed some compliments. Oddly enough, I have no problem with the Autographer, which is probably more 1984 than most tech these days. The Autographer is a … [Read more...] about Autographer, the camera that you wear
Blynk Camera from Lyfeshot
What you are seeing here is the Blynk, a very special camera from Lyfeshot. If you haven't heard of it, then perhaps you will hear of it as people are beginning to realize that all life is precious and it must be preserved with the power of technology. The Blynk is a camera that you can clip on your your clothes and it takes time-lapse pictures. It shoots only certain … [Read more...] about Blynk Camera from Lyfeshot
SwannEye HD Pan & Tilt All-in-One Network Camera
It seems I have had a second chance to try a Swann product this week, the first being the Doorphone Video Intercom. The SwannEye HD Pan & Tilt All-in-One IP Network Camera, or SWADS-445CAM, is very reminiscent of the Dropcam Pro that I reviewed not too many days ago. In other words, it is an Internet security camera that you put in place so you can occasionally watch … [Read more...] about SwannEye HD Pan & Tilt All-in-One Network Camera
Foldio Foldable Studio made for the smartphone
I've written a few books where I had to take several pictures of something very close-up, and I wish I had the Foldio for it. Many of the pictures that we see of small items in a catalog are done with painstaking precision. They are a product of getting a background of a solid color, and perfect lighting. All this to create an illusion that this item exists in some … [Read more...] about Foldio Foldable Studio made for the smartphone
Dropcam Pro is another update for your extra eye
It seems like everyone in their house needs an extra eye, and I wrote about Dropcam HD a while ago as a solution to that problem. Now I had a chance to try out the upgrade of this with the Dropcam Pro. The Dropcam Pro has a lot of things that have changed, and one of them is the field of view. The old version was 107 degrees, but this HD version would be 130 degree field … [Read more...] about Dropcam Pro is another update for your extra eye
Joby Action Series Day, Part 2: GorillaPod Action Tripod
Come on, you knew this was coming. I just had a Joby Action Series Day, Part 1 with the Action Clamp + Gorilla Arm, so the inevitable Part 2 was just around the corner, and on the same day. This is the GorillaPod Action Tripod, and like the Action Clamp + Gorilla Arm, it is made for the GoPro Camera. Again, I see little point in explaining what a GoPro camera is. As … [Read more...] about Joby Action Series Day, Part 2: GorillaPod Action Tripod
Joby Action Series Day, Part 1: Action Clamp + GorillaPod Arm
As you can see, we are having a Joby Action Series Day here at TheGeekChurch. Why not? We had headphones day last Friday. If you don’t know about Joby, they are very famous for their flexible type of mounting that you see in the image here, an award-winning Gorillapod. Their flexible tripods and other accessories really come in handy for times when you want to put a … [Read more...] about Joby Action Series Day, Part 1: Action Clamp + GorillaPod Arm
Looxcie’s third interation has a square design
I've have seen Looxcie products for years. If you aren't familiar with the product, it is essentially a small camera for video streaming. Normally, the Looxcie is a small camera that fits on the ear, which is good at shooting your life from your eyes' point of view. For some reason, the Looxcie decided to go all square on us, and allows 720p video not to mention stills, … [Read more...] about Looxcie’s third interation has a square design
Cheetah-CH1 and Greyhound-GR1 are steady-cams for smaller cameras
I think that we all know that a lot of home videos with Go Pro cameras or smartphone cams are shaky, at best. Some people don't mind that shaky-cam feeling, while others can't stand it. This device from Mastor Technology is the Cheetah-CH1 an Greyhound-GR1 are handheld stabilizers designed to automatically pitch, tilt, pan, and roll to "counteract and cancel out any … [Read more...] about Cheetah-CH1 and Greyhound-GR1 are steady-cams for smaller cameras
Polaroid XS80 1080p HD Action Video Camera
Right now, it is difficult to talk about anything but the release of the new iPhone, but hey, I need to do this review of the Polaroid XS80. It seems like the only cameras that are making a splash these days are those from the GoPro line, makers of those action style cameras. I suppose that the rest of the world just uses their cellphone camera. The XS80 is one of … [Read more...] about Polaroid XS80 1080p HD Action Video Camera
Introducing theQ, the “World’s First Fashion-Foward Social Camera”
It really isn't all that often that I review a stand-alone camera here on this site. I guess I just don't get the memos from Polaroid, Nikon, Olympus, and Kodak. (By the way, Kodak doesn't make cameras anymore.) Considering that everyone has cameras on their phones, most people don't really do the whole stand-alone camera thing. Not only can you take a photo with a camera … [Read more...] about Introducing theQ, the “World’s First Fashion-Foward Social Camera”
All-in-One Mouse and Camera from Genius
Just to let you know, the "Genius" that the headline is referring to, is a company with that particular title. I have seen them at conventions, but I would have to say that this All-in-One Mouse and Camera is genius. I don't know if you might need a mouse that is a camera, but I don't see why not. After all, if you ever have take pictures of items by your desk, it is a lot … [Read more...] about All-in-One Mouse and Camera from Genius
Manfrotto KLYP iPhone 5 Flash
Since many of us are using our phone like we are using cameras, it stands to reason why someone would make a flash for a smartphone. This is exactly what the company Manfrotto has done with the KLYP made for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4. I had a chance to try out the KLYP, and it reminds me of a clip on a rifle. At least the types that you see in films when an assassin snaps … [Read more...] about Manfrotto KLYP iPhone 5 Flash
