Imagine the feeling of pure magic that the original inventors of photography must have felt upon discovering that they could capture perfect facsimiles of the world around them — it goes to show just how far the July 2017 photography trends have come since then. While many camera products are still concerned with photographing the most verisimilar, high fidelity images possible, they also offer so much more.
As people have begun to refer to their smartphones for an ever-increasing array of daily tasks, it's only natural that companies will have found ways to make the most out of users' smartphone cameras as well. The IOgrapher Smartphone Video Mount is a professional grade smartphone attachment that turns the iPhone 6, 6S, and 7 into fully functional pro cameras (with the help of those smartphones' powerful native lenses, of course.)
