Optrix XD Sport Wide-Angle action case

If you happen to own a smartphone and yet are an adrenaline junkie yourself, then you might be interested to hear about the Optrix XD Sport Wide-Angle action case, which was developed in partnership with iStabilizer. Just what the heck does the Optrix XD Sport Wide-Angle action case do? For starters, it was specially designed to be able to transform the iPhone 4, 4S and iPod touch into an extreme wide-lens camera, as users will be able to delight in the Glidepro handheld video stabilizer, rugged flexible Dolly, extendable Monopod and Flex Tripod to it’s stable of accessories and mounts.

John Willenborg, founder of Optrix, said, “Although the XD Sports Case is military grade and rugged enough to withstand almost any condition, it is also the perfect iPhone case for photography enthusiasts. Our new line of accessories gives both photography novices and professionals even more options to capture their memories while keeping their device safe.”

The Glidepro Hand Stabilizer is ideal to capture smooth and steady videos just about anywhere, where it does away with the shakes that are normally associated with hand-held filming. Not only that, it uses similar technology that is found in professional filmmaking equipment. Apart from that, there is the Dolly Flexible Roller that is perfect for tracking shots, time lapse, artistic work and capturing travel videos, and large wheels help provide smooth movement, while the presence of 11” adjustable arm paves the way for one to shoot via unique angles and positions.

Last but not least, the Monopod Extendable Arm is suitable for self-portraits, high/low angles, self-videos and POV shots, where its extendable arm provides access to hard to reach camera angles and positions. Sporting a lightweight portable design, it can extend itself up to 3 feet. It does sound as though you are spoilt for choice, so which would you settle for?

LG EA93 21:9 aspect ratio 29-inch LCD spotted on IFA show floor (eyes-on)

LG 29inch EA93 219 aspect ratio LCD spotted spotted on IFA show floor

Fancy a wickedly wide 21:9 aspect ratio LCD that’s more than a touch larger than what you’ll find on that unique Toshiba Ultrabook? It looks like LG’s got you covered, with its 29-inch EA93. We spotted a half dozen of the ultra-wide IPS displays during a preview of the show floor at IFA, and were able to grab a few frames. You need to see this LCD in person to get a feel for just how wide it really is — with a 29-inch diagonal panel that’s incredibly short and squat, you’ll be compromising quite a bit of desk real estate in order to add some horizontal pixels.

From booth materials, it seems that LG is promoting this product as a multitasking solution — the format is well-suited as a replacement for dual-monitor rigs, letting you view several windows at once without adjusting your eyes vertically. We already had a solid grasp on the EA93’s specs, which include a 2,560 x 1,080-pixel panel, a four-way split screen feature and plenty of inputs, including two HDMI ports, DVI Dual Link and DisplayPort, though the product placard also revealed USB 3.0 connectivity and 7-watt stereo speakers. Pricing has yet to be confirmed, but if you’re prepared to add such a device at any cost, we’d suggest clearing some desk space now — these are set to ship in November.
