iPhone Camera Capabilities Amplified with the Ollo Clip

Everyday I seem to find a new use for my iPhone. From high tech apps to social media functionality, it quickly rose to the top of my high-tech collection. When packing for CES 2012, the name of the game quickly turned into —only pack what my iPhone cannot accomplish. Sorry digital camera, no Las Vegas trip for you.

The quality of the digital cameras in Smartphones today continues to push digital cameras to the back burner for common users. Equipped with many of my favorite photo apps such as camera+, instagram, photorocket, diptic and Postcards on the Run, my iPhone quickly transformed into my go-to camera.

Walking around at CES, I spotted a company praised for their iPhone camera lens innovation. My excited feet quickly rushed across the showroom floor to learn more. The Ollo Clip slides on to the iPhone 4 or 4s and includes fisheye, wide-angle, and macro lenses in one small, convenient unit. With three lens options, the immense possibilities captivate even the most knowledgeable of camera users. The Fisheye lens captures approximately a 180-degree field-of-view while the Wide-Angle lens provides a wonderful solution for when you need that extra field width – doubling that of the normal iPhone capability. The Macro lens additionally applies a 10X multiplier and allows you to focus the iPhone within 12-15mm of the subject.

Thanks to the Ollo Clip, not only does taking pictures with my iPhone save both valuable time and pocket space, it also allows me to capture higher quality images with greater editing features than my digital camera. Let the photo fun begin!
