Miveu has unveiled a new system at CES this month that has been designed to transform your iPhone into a rugged POV system. It has been specifically designed with a custom optical glass lens. Extending the viewing angle of the iPhone to record video from an amazing perspective that would otherwise not be available.
The custom lens is attached to the iPhone using a rugged customised case, which incorporates a simple tactile shutter button providing easy operation even when wearing thick gloves. Watch the promotional video after the jump to see it in action.
Versatile Mounting Options
The case has been designed to be used with a body mounting harness, and easily clips in and out, enabling you to position it on your chest. However, the straps allow you to mount the case on your leg if you prefer for snowboarding to provide the perfect point of view camera angle. This flexibility ensures that you can capture dynamic footage from various angles, making it ideal for a wide range of activities such as skiing, mountain biking, and even skydiving.
As well as the harness, the universal bracket mounting system allows you to strap the device to a ski pole, roll bar, or the suspension of your bike or race car. This versatility means that you can take footage using your iPhone’s camera, which you never dreamed possible before. Imagine capturing the thrill of a downhill mountain bike ride or the intensity of a race car lap from a unique, immersive perspective.
Durability and Ease of Use
The Miveu system is not just about versatility; it is also built to withstand the rigors of extreme sports. The rugged case is designed to protect your iPhone from impacts and harsh conditions, ensuring that your device remains safe while you focus on capturing the perfect shot. The tactile shutter button is another thoughtful addition, allowing for easy operation even when wearing thick gloves. This feature is particularly useful for winter sports enthusiasts who need to keep their hands warm while still being able to control their camera.
Moreover, the custom optical glass lens enhances the quality of your footage by extending the viewing angle, allowing you to capture more of the action. This is particularly beneficial for activities where a wider field of view can make a significant difference, such as skateboarding or surfing.
The Miveu Harness and rugged case is now available for the iPhone for $80. This price point makes it an affordable option for those looking to enhance their iPhone’s video recording capabilities without investing in a separate action camera.
