Tripods

The XShot iPhone 4 Case & XShot 2.0 are easy to use and give users full flexibility and functionality when capturing video or photos on the iPhone 4. A universal connector acts as the liaison between the XShot iPhone 4 case and the XShot tripod and 2.0 Extender. Each of these tools gives the mobile device a unique advantage when capturing video or photography and enhances the already existing functionality.

The mini tripod stabilizes the device on 3 inch flex legs. This miniature tripod works well for close up photography and video but would not be ideal for anything more. The iPhone 4 out ways the lightweight flex tripod and requires that the legs be fully stretched in order to properly counter the devices weight. It may not be the most sturdy tripod for the iPhone 4 but it certainly gets the job done capturing closeup still images.

The 2.0 Extender gives the iPhone 4 a whole new range by extending its view by 37 inches when fully extended. The same connector used to connect the XShot iPhone 4 Case to the mini tripod is used to connect the  case to the 2.o Extender. This easy universal clip that connects the device to these products makes the transition from close up still photography to long-range video an easy switch. When full extended, the 2.0 Extender allows for various angles and gives the user more options for capturing unique shots.

Together these add-ons to the iPhone 4 provide a solid balance between solid photography and versatile video. The mini tripod allows for stabilized shots and simple video while the extender provides unique angles and optimal views. This package is highly recommended for capturing versatile multimedia content in a variety settings.
