Beamer brings "flash" photography to the iPhone
quirky’s Beamer is an iphone case with a built in light. This light can dual function as a flash for your iphone’s camera as well as a light for use whenever you see fit – Dropped something under the table at dinner? Need a flashlight for your car? Squinting to read a menu in candlelight? Taking a picture in the dark? Beamer is the case that shines!
Beamer is a hard, durable plastic case with a friction-fit, 2 piece design. Beamer’s base slides out for quick insertion of your iphone. Turning on the light is easy. Simply press the silicone button once and the light will remain on for 10 seconds – leaving you with enough time to snap your picture. Pressing the button twice in a row will leave the light on indefinitely until you are ready to turn it off – to do so, just press the button a 3rd time.
Beamer’s super bright LED is powered by its own battery (residing on the inside of the case) so it does not drain any of your iphone’s battery. And not to worry, the button is set in a groove to avoid being accidentally turned on when in your pocket thus keeping the battery alive as long as possible.
You can choose from one of quirky’s funky case colors. With the Beamer, all you iPhone-ers out there need not feel jealous of your Blackberry-ing friends. Now you too can have stellar phone pictures.
NOTE: Beamer will use replaceable Lithium coin cell batteries for an estimated life of about 10 hours of super bright illumination. Beamer is compatible for iPhone 3G and 3GS
OWLE Bubo iPhone 3Gs Videogrip with wideangle
Getting the most out of the iPhones camera is important, but the main problem when shooting pictures or video with one is that it’s still just a phone. The simplest and yet most effective feature of the OWLE is that it’s built for you to hold like a camera. Taking photo’s and video is as much about the device as it is the subject. The OWLE give you the feeling that you can shoot any scene or cover any story with confidence.

Each of the two grips are adorned with standard female tripod mounts on both the top and bottom. These 4 mounts allow you to create any accessory you want with a trip to the hardware store. We hope that you share all of your creations with us, we’ll be sure to post them for other Bubo users to enjoy!
The OWLE Bubo’s universal “Coldshoe” mount is great because it doesn’t care what kind of light or microphone you attach to it. If you are like us and one light just isn’t enough, then we have extra cold shoe’s that thread into any of the Bubo’s 4 tripod mounts.
THe OWLE Bubo comes Standard with 37mm lens threading, as well as a 0.45x Wide angle/macro combination lens. The ability to change filters and lenses will give you the freedom to choose what your audience sees.
