The 'Hitch Camera' has been designed to offer users a way to capture events and moments with better agility to ensure that the images don't get forgotten about on a smartphone.
The camera concept is the design work of Martin Spurway and features a touchscreen interface that would allow for users to maintain a far simpler piece of equipment for capturing moments. The device could then be placed on the accompanying dock for sharing, charging and more to ensure that the data is accessible and highly shareable.
The conceptual 'Hitch Camera' identifies a shift back towards dedicated photography equipment over smartphones when it comes to capturing social gatherings and beyond. The camera also features a physical card slot for storing photos and Bluetooth connectivity.
