DXO One: iPhone photographic booster
Probably one of the best iPhone camera add-ons ever, the DXO One was launched in 2015 but has just received even more upgrades like a waterproof case, 2x WiFi modes and a host of other accessories. Before getting into making hardware, DXO was best known for rating the quality of image sensors for digital cameras. They also produce the DXO Optics Pro software for image processing. The f1.8 lens allows for really beautiful shallow depth of field photography, and the combination of that and the camera’s 1-inch sensor helps the whole package perform very well under low light conditions. The biggest update to the DxO One on the software side is the addition of two different Wi-Fi modes, both allow users to control the camera and see what it’s seeing without being physically connected. One mode turns the camera into a hotspot that your iPhone can latch onto, and the other allows the camera to connect to the same Wi-Fi network that your phone is connected to. DxO says that the connection between the One and your iPhone will hold up even if the two are 30 meters apart. The One now has a useful stand as an accessory as well as an underwater housing. The case costs $59 and comes with two different backs — one (rated IP67) which is thin enough that you can still swipe around the menus on the camera’s OLED screen, and one that can protect the camera up to a depth of 45 meters. DxO will also sell an "optical adapter" ring for $25, which will allow for attachments like ND or other filters, as well as lens attachments (like macro or super wide). The DxO One’s biggest neagtive was its pricetag, but DxO recently took $100 off, making it $499. http://www.dxo.com http://www.dxo.com/us/photography/photo-software/dxo-opticspro
