Military-grade scopes and apps for iPhone and iPad boast geotagging and nightvision | iMore

Military-grade scopes and apps for iPhone and iPad boast geotagging and nightvision | iMore. I saw this and I had to grin….I, perhaps naively, thought that a few million iPhoneographers bemoaning, pleading, begging for someone to produce a good quality optical (glass) zoom lens for iPhone would eventually yield a winning product – so far I and the millions of other iPhoneographers have been dissapointed. BUT behold the US military (who have VERY DEEP POCKETS) as they appear to be the ones leading the charge-pun intended. Check out these iPhone/iPad military grade night vision scopes and monoculars – WICKED! I dont even want to think about the mortgage you would need to purchase one but as often happens, when a manufacturer starts producing these for the military they will eventually mass produce a similar lower grade product for the consumer market too. Roll on the day.

Micw. i456 Cardioid Microphone designed for IPhone, iPad. Interestingly I ordered what LUCI LIVE referred to on their website as their Magic Bullet mic. It would now appear that Luci have simply rebadged the MicW i456 as it is indeed the very same product. Im waiting to see if there are any european suppliers other than LUCI? By all accounts the build is excellent and as you can see below the mic has been tested with a host of popular audio Apps.

Heres a neat iPhone accessory. SWIVL uses a motorised base that follows a radio transmitter in a fill 360º arc so if you attach your iPhone while on Skype or Facetime it will track you as you speak.
