iPhone DSLR with OWLE Bubo & EnCinema Adapter

Cody wrote about the Manfrotto pocket tripod before. It was some sort of a stand that allowed you to attach a SLR lens to your iPhone to, well, taking better pictures, I guess. I don’t know if someone actually managed to take any picture with it, but still. It was cool - but this one’s certainly better and more “useful”.

By combining an OWLE Bubo and an EnCinema 35mm Adpater (both modified with additional diopters) here we have a functional iPhone DSLR that shoot great HD video and doesn’t look that awkward in your hands.

Is there a future for this stuff? Maybe, for those willing to pay extra money to have a huge accessory that’ll make your iPhone take better photos. For anyone else, just get a Canon.
