This periscope case turns your phone into an Action Camera
Defox’s 3D printed Periscope case does a pretty neat thing. It repositions your camera so you can look down at your phone while record what’s happening ahead of you. Essentially, you’re not pointing your phone’s camera at the subject being shot, but rather, are filming or shooting imagery with your phone in a much more natural manner. This interesting deviation allows your phone to become an even more accessible device because now your phone’s literally an action camera!
You can mount your phone on handlebars or even place it on your car’s dashboard and the phone’s case uses a 45° mirror to film things that are located at a 90° angle. The case lets you capture your ride handsfree, because you don’t need to hold your phone in position anymore. Just keep your phone flat on a surface, or mount it using the velcro-strap built into the phone and you’re automatically recording stuff that’s happening ahead of you. The mirror slides into a slot that allows your phone camera to point elsewhere, and when you’re done, the mirror slides back into the case allowing your phone camera to work normally again. Highly recommended for sports junkies, content creators, and spies!
