The Mocean Armor FourPro Dive Housing

The FourPro iPhone underwater housing was field tested by Emmy winning National Geographic cameraman Ken Corben while filming great white sharks.

The Mocean Armor FourPro dive housing will allow anyone with an iPhone 4 or 4s to capture incredible footage that would otherwise be economically out of reach for this quality of HD video underwater. The alternatives to capture HD video at any depth below a kitchen sink run thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. You can achieve the same results Hollywood spends millions to produce in the palm of your hand.

A Kickstarter donation of $400 secures one of the underwater housings for yourself, the actual MSRP will be $700.

While we're talking iPhone, I just picked up an Olloclip lens kit. The Olloclip is a slick quick-connect lens for the iPhone 4/4S that includes fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses in one small, convenient package that easily goes on and off your phone. 

Here are some hipster instagram shots taken with the macro and fish eye, works in video mode too.

Lytro Light Field Camera

For all you photography geeks out there.

Light field cameras were developed 15 years ago at Stanford and required a roomful of computers tethered to a super computer. The Lytro is the world's first consumer light field camera.

Unlike a conventional camera that captures a single plane of light, the Lytro camera captures the entire light field, which is all the light traveling in every direction in every point in space. Since you'll capture the color, intensity, and direction of all the light, you can experience the first major light field capability - focusing after the fact. Focus and re-focus, anywhere in the picture. You can refocus your pictures at anytime, after the fact. Click anywhere inside the pictures in the Lytro gallery to see the results.

You can pre-order for delivery in SP12, be advised this camera is currently only Mac compatible.
