Easy to do using the Capta Tripod Mount · Posted on 05-15-2012 in Photographic Articles
We all use our cell phones to take pictures on a daily basis, but why is it that the resulting pictures often come out unclear or blurry? The answer is simple: phone cameras are expected to take good photos in all lighting conditions when hand-held, which is in fact very difficult to accomplish.
If it were possible to stabilize your phone just like your camera, you'd notice that photos would come out much, much sharper! Our own Blackberry Bold 9700, when placed on a stable surface such as a table, was able to produde a printable copy of an 8.5x11 hand-written document!
Even better than a table is a tripod, and fotrunately, companies have recently begun making these for cell phones! One of the better ones is the Capta Tripod Mount, pictured above, as it features a universal mount and connects to any normal tripod. For under $35, this will turn your phone into an even better camera, possibly eliminating the need for a dedicated point-and shoot!
