The Glif - Perfect companion tripod for Iphone 4 and Iphone 4S!
With several million Iphones in the market, at least 1.7 million Iphone 4s and long queues all over the world for the Iphone 4S now, there are several (million?) Iphone accessories for manufacturers to reap some decent dough on this bandwagon. Amongst anti-glare screen protectors, hello kitty protective sleeves, a good number of accessories on the market are on the market to assist the photographer in every Iphone user take better pictures. Here comes The Glif! The Glif was born from a Kickstarter project )where an idea is pitched and public gets to donate to a pool of funds, and when the targeted amount is reached, the product goes into a first run). Now into it's first rounds of production, the Glif has turned the world over with it's simplicity in it's use to turn the Iphone into a great tool for viewing, photographing and taking videos using the Iphone! The Glif is an iPhone 4/4S accessory with two primary functions: mounting your iPhone onto a tripod and propping up your iPhone at various angles. Our goal was to create something small, simple, and elegant. But out of this simple design emerges countless uses. Mount your iPhone to a tripod for taking great pictures or making movies. Prop your iPhone up for hands-*free FaceTiming or to watch videos. All of that and more in a compact design that is manufactured in America.
The Glif is made from recyclable rubberized plastic that feels great and plays nice with your phone, and is small enough to fit snugly in your pocket, purse, or backpack. It has a 1/4"-*20 thread that fits any standard tripod or camera mount. The Glif is designed to work with a "naked" (caseless) iPhone and is compatible with both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.- Source: http://www.studioneat.com/products/glif-for-iphone-4
