SportHiTech Announces Immediate Availability of the New Optrix XD Wide-Angle Rugged Action Sports Case for iPhone 4 and 4S


Malvern, PA (PRWEB) July 10, 2012

SportHiTech announce the immediate availability of the latest revolutionary Optrix rugged case and mount for iPhone 4/4S – the Wide Angle Optrix XD. Optrix cases allow iPhone 4/4S users to safely use their phones as HD Action cameras at a fraction of the cost of dedicated action cameras, and with many advantages.

Joining the successful Optrix HD Case system released earlier this year, the Optrix XD adds a 3-element wide-angle lens (175 degree) capability for those who prefer a wider angle view, and an upgraded anti-vibration sled for the iPhone that doubles as a protective case for the phone. The Optrix HD and Optrix XD will be available concurrently and have interchangeable mounts, allowing consumers the choice of lens angles.

Both Optrix HD and Optrix XD are a combination of hardware and iPhone apps. The basic app is free, while the enhanced app adds data displays to the recorded footage using the very sensitive GPS and accelerometer built into the iPhone. A sled that allows the XD to be used with 4th generation iPod Touch will be available shortly.

The designers of Optrix have created a case that will allow the iPhone to be used as a camera under extremely rugged conditions. The case is tested to military spec: MIL-STD-810F.

The Optrix XD system, comprising the all-weather case, an anti-vibration sleds for iPhone 4/4S, a curved base, a flat base, and a quick release handle, is available now for $ 99.99 including shipping from SportHitech here or on Amazon here.







CES 2012 Canon D1X Sneak Peek In Action

Ok first off the new camera is one of 2 hand built units that exist. They do not allow you to have full access to all the menus of the camera, The Joystick is taped down, The CF card door is taped shut. But I did play with it bunch. I will make a more comprehensive review tomorrow Canon is well represented this year. They have every single lens they make at the show ready to be tested. I have to say this is the Nicest Canon Camera I have ever seen. It was so wonderful. I hope to sell a kidney to afford it. At ISO 51200 and still 2 stops from the top end, I was making images that are almost noise free. They have taped the CF door shut so I could not slip my CF card in, however I played with it for an hour and I am now in Love.

Ok this I really get some play time with the 1DX, This will be my next body if I have to sell every piece of gear I own. It just feels perfect in your hand. the camera can be custmized to do anything you can dream of. The AF menu allows all sortd of adjustment so one can dial the camera into the type of photography you are into. From fast paced sports to slower action you have full control. The fact it is a full frame camera is just the ticket to make this one of the best DSLR cameras ever built. I haven’t felt such a quality camera since I first laid hands on my Olympus E-1. The Canon D1X is the camera that all other camera aspire to be. Canon really took feedback from the users and built a real world beater. I looked at the Nikon D4 and to me the feature set isn’t even close. To truly appreciate this camera one needs to have it in your hands. It will take many years for a camera manufacturer to knock the 1DX from the throne as the king of cameras. This is by far the best DSLR ever built! I cant wait to see the files and the huge prints I plan to make when I receive my 1DX. I have already listed several items on craigslist to buy this the first chance I have. I hope this camera does not cause me to get divorced, but It might just be worth it;) (JK wifey)
