MIGGO PICTAR: iPhone goes DSLR PRO!
There have been many gimmicky grips released in the past, but this one really delivers with actual
DSLR features, not just a fancy grip case to hold on to.
The real thing - just like a pro DSLR!
Electronically calibrated to provide maximum sensitivity, just like a traditional DSLR. Pictar’s shutter button offers a "half press" mode to lock focus and exposure for easy tracking of a moving object or to create a desired composition, as well as full-press for immediate shutter release. The button is located right under the index finger to enable precise and intuitive shooting, with one hand.
If you're shooting in a cold environment, or taking pictures of extreme sports, you'll be happy to learn that with Pictar's shutter button you can now take pictures on an iPhone with your gloves!
Zoom with only one hand
Located right below the shutter release button, the rotating zoom ring does away with the need to touch the screen to pinch-and-zoom, and makes it easy for the user to zoom in and out with just one hand. The zoom ring can also be re-programmed by user to suit specific needs, such as the flash, white-balance, etc.
The selfie button
Like the rotation of the zoom ring, the button can also be re-programmed by user to suit specific needs and control other settings. Want to change to"selfie" mode? Shooting one-handed? You can use the zoom ring for perfect composition. Exposure compensation wheel
Strategically located in the right corner is the exposure compensation wheel, which lets the user quickly and easily control brightness level even before shooting. And just like with an advanced camera, the exposure compensation wheel changes the exposure in steps of 1/3 aperture, and the clear display appears at the bottom of the iPhone screen. In manual mode, the exposure compensation wheel changes its designation and allows control of ISO values.
The "smart wheel"
Fully customizable, the smart wheel allows users to control a variety of functions.
Beginners will love the ease of control - in default mode the smart wheel controls 7 pre-set modes, which enable users to easily adjust the iPhone to any situation while focusing on actually taking the shot. Pre-set modes are:
Auto mode
Portrait mode
Landscape mode
Sport mode
Snow mode
Selfie mode
Video mode
Advanced photographers will feel right at home: the smart wheel lets you choose between 3 advanced modes:
Shutter priority
ISO priority
Manual (iPhone manual = Shutter + ISO adjustments).
The vitual wheel
The Virtual Wheel is another great feature that allows the user to control different modes such as Flash modes, Shutter speed, ISO and more - simply by using his/her thumb. Switching between modes is done by using the Smart Wheel.
The ergonomic grip
The iPhone is an amazing design icon, and the designers of the Pictar are full of admiration for the people who brought it to the world - but let's face it: as a camera, it's nowhere near the comfort, safe feel and familiar grip of a traditional camera. So they designed an ergonomic grip that would sit comfortably in one hand and let you take one-handed shots while holding it out the window of a speeding jeep. At least that is what they claim.
Wrist and neck straps
A nice touch to add to that real camera feel. You can easily change between them or disconnect them both.
Tripod connection
The mobile-camera revolution enables anyone to go out into the wild - jungle or city - armed with just an iPhone. There they discover that they sometimes lack a trusty buddy - a tripod. There are many ways to improvise, but you won't always find a convenient tree or flat rock to stabilize the iPhone when you really could use a tripod. And it is super cool that the Pictar uses a standard 1/4" thread just like real cameras have.
Cold-shoe mount
Stable and reliable cold-shoe connector - for many camera accessory - not just iPhone oriented.
The market offers an endless choice of LED-based lighting devices which add a fascinating dimension of light to the creative process. The problem is that many of them - especially the professional ones - are designed to be connected to real cameras with a standard upper connection. So Pictar offers a reliable and stable cold-shoe connection to hook up anything you want - via Pictar - to your iPhone.
NOTE:
PICTAR's App does not support hand-held flash units.
The cold shoe mount can support lighting units weighs up to 300 gr. / 0,66 pounds.
Due to the fact that while it attached to PICTAR, the iPhone's connecting jack is concealed - any device that is using the connecting jack must be disconnected before actual attachment to PICTAR.
Lens ready
Pictar's semi-open body allows connecting most "clip-on" lenses. It has been tested with olloclip lens.
Pictar App
Pictar is designed to communicate with iPhone via a dedicated camera app which unlocks key features inaccessible on the native app to iPhone users. Each of the physical controls found on Pictar drive a specific function or setting and does so using high-frequency dual tone sounds.
Each physical control is assigned a specific tone, and with each turn of a dial, press of a button or turn of a wheel, Pictar emits a sound that – when detected by the app – generates a corresponding action. The high-frequency dual tone (18,500 – 20,000 khz) is inaudible to the human ear and significantly increases battery life when compared to Bluetooth connectivity.
High-frequency dual tone technology saves energy compared to "Bluetooth" systems. Using a CR ½ AA battery, Its designers estimate 4-6 months of use before the need to replace the power source is required. MIGGO MALAYSIA ONLINE STORE: http://vstore.my/miggo
