Pictar iPhone Camera Grip + Splat Tripod

Unleash the power of you iPhone’s camera. The Pictar is a powerful iPhone camera-grip that connects easily to most iPhone models, and gives users unprecedented control over the iPhone's camera through a user-friendly companion app. Pictar is controlled by no fewer than five external buttons, and includes a patented, revolutionary interface which uses sound frequencies to activate the camera, saving tons of power compared to the standard Bluetooth connection. Pictar was born to address mobile photographers of all levels - from social recorders to professionals - who wish to get more from their iPhone camera and who miss that good-old feeling of firmly holding and easily controlling a traditional camera. It's a revolutionary way to convert your iPhone into a real, DSLR camera.

Pictar offers five external control buttons. The Multi-State Shutter Button is electronically calibrated to provide maximum sensitivity, just like a high-end camera. It offers "half press" mode to lock focus and exposure for easy tracking of a moving object or to create a desired composition, as well as "full press" for immediate shutter release. The Zoom Ring is located right under the index finger, making it easy for the user to activate it with only one hand. Rotating it left or right activates the zoom. Clicking down on the Zoom Ring activates the Selfie Button - which switches between both iPhone cameras. The Exposure Compensation Wheel controls the amount of light entering the camera, which helps the user to determine the exact level of exposure without complex menus, and the Smart Wheel is a programmable button that allows users to control a variety of functions. In default mode, it rotates you between the camera's 10 pre-set modes: manual, sport, landscape, portrait and more. It even comes complete with the Splat tripod, so steady shots are a cinch.

Pictar's app is a turbo engine that drives Pictar forward. When the user operates one of the external controls it produces a sound frequency (18,500 – 20,000 khz) which cannot be heard by the human ear. When this frequency is detected by the app, it generates an appropriate action. This method significantly reduces battery drainage by both the phone and the Pictar device, and the highly-developed interface makes it extraordinarily easy to use.
