iPhones go extreme!

The next advancement in iPhone photography technology is a new heavy duty suction cup and other accessories, enabling extreme sports enthusiasts to stick their iPhones to their boards, boats, skates, you name it.

Optrix, designer of action sports video cases, unveiled the waterproof mounting accessories in order to enhance the shooting capabilities of the acclaimed XD Sport Wide-Angle action case.

Optrix’s new selection of accessories; including the world’s strongest suction cups, a Quarter 20 mount and a rotating suction cup, perfectly attaches to the XD Sport and eliminates the need for adhesives. The heavy duty mounts also add flexibility, giving extreme sports enthusiasts the ability to easily and quickly remove, transfer and secure their XD Sport between surfaces.

“The XD Sport is the first extreme sports case that utilises the iPhone to safely capture, edit and upload wide-angle 1080P videos,” said John Willenborg, founder of Optrix. “The new accessories expand the XD Sports’ ability to repurpose a powerful device, giving users unlimited options to capturing memories, experiences and feats.”

To fully showcase the versatility and ruggedness of the XD Sport, Optrix partnered with Teton Gravity Research, the premier video production company in the action sports industry to film their new demo real. TGR has produced 28 award winning feature length films and is known for its stable of world class athletes, progressive creativity and ability to showcase cutting edge lifestyle and activities. See the video below.

“TGR believes that imagination is more important than knowledge and we are passionate about showcasing the athlete’s perspective and imagination through our work,” stated Brian Wulf, producer of TGR. “We partnered with Optrix on this video project because their products allow athletes to fully capture their unique perspective; from snowboarding, surfing or skiing, to base jumping and even rock climbing.”
