GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition/Music Records Jam Sessions from the Band’s Perspective

GoPro makes some of the most popular cameras out there for recording action sports. Typically when we see video made with one of these cameras it is on YouTube and often has people doing things that are dangerous. GoPro has announced a new camera kit that has specialized mounts for people that want to record their jam session in the garage or on the stage.

The camera is called the GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition/Music and it comes with several mounts designed specifically for use on the stage. The mounts include one that allows the camera to fit on a mic stand with US or European mounts. The camera also comes with adhesive mounts for attaching directly to musical instruments.

What might be the most interesting mount looks like a clamp you might use in the workshop. It is designed to clamp onto just about any surface and securely hold the camera in place. It can also be used with other mounts in tandem for more flexibility. The Music camera kit will hit stores this spring for $399.99(USD).

Lytro Light Field Camera helps you stay focused all the time

lytroThere are some gadgets out there that are really worth taking a second look, or a third even, sometimes. The £399.99 Lytro Light Field Camera would definitely be one of them, where you would never be able to lose focus of your subject whenever you want to capture something for posterity. Arriving in four different shades, Electric Blue, Graphite, Moxie Pink and Seaglass Green, the Lytro Light Field Camera would allow you to actually refocus pictures right after you have snapped them – now how about that?

Not only that, with this particular device, you are also able to shift the perspective, where it will provide you with the equivalent experience as though you are in an extremely short 3D movie. With the ability to create tactile living images that tell a story, the Lytro Light Field Camera would certainly ensure that you would no longer look at regular still photos with the same sense of wonder anymore, since those would be static and extremely boring. Instagram who? Just how does the Lytro Light Field Camera deliver its magic? It will record the entire light field instead of just a 2D image, and since there is no need for autofocus, this does away with shutter delays, letting you capture that shot on the spot.

Arriving in an anodized aluminium housing, the Lytro Light Field Camera is strong yet incredibly lightweight, while its textured silicon grip allows you to shoot with one or hand effortlessly, although we will not hold you guilty for using both hands.
