14 DAY TRIAL // 99 percent of the time you take an iPad out to shoot a gig people will label you as a cretin. But you shouldn't care about that, unless you're blocking someone's view. Which is what happens 99 percent of the time.
The iPad, in its current form, takes decent photos. But if you want to shoot something far away like a surfer, or a lighthouse, you won’t get much detail.
What you need is a lens that adds 10-12 times telephoto power to your iPad. “It gets you closer to your subject without having to depend on your iPad's digital zoom (a real pixel killer),” according to Photojo, the creators.
The accessory has a manual focusing ring to give you even more control over the depth of field, and comes with vignetting and a bit of lo-fi by default.
“So hoist your iPad high, and snap away proudly. Your iPad may look a bit silly in this get-up, but you are going to end up with some seriously super photos!” says Photojo. Well, at least they agree it’s not the ideal photography solution.
You can pick one up for just $2.50 (€1.9) in the United States, or you can have them ship one to you anywhere in the world for a few extra bucks.
