‘DSLR’ iPhone Attachment Is Here To Help Turn You Into A Pro Photographer
By Nicole Rodrigues, 09 Aug 2023
The iPhone camera has come a long way since the smartphone’s inception in 2007, gradually introducing advanced features and capabilities that have reshaped photography. However, while the iPhone’s camera prowess has grown significantly, it still falls short when directly compared to dedicated DSLRs’ versatility and image quality.
SPARK, by camera products company MIOPS, is a new accessory that aims to elevate the creative possibilities for iPhone photographers and videographers. It provides a range of manual controls that resemble those found on DSLR cameras that can almost turn the shots of your food or your pet into high-quality images.
These controls include adjustments for settings such as ISO, white balance, and focus, offering users greater control over their shots.
One notable feature of SPARK is its built-in light sensor. This sensor can detect subtle variations in ambient light, including phenomena like lightning strikes.
SPARK isn’t here to solely enhance your Instagram game. It also caters to those interested in specific genres, such as night sky photography, waterfalls, and light trails. Its Long Exposure modes are designed to enhance these types of shots, enabling users to adapt to challenging lighting conditions.
In addition to its manual controls and exposure features, SPARK offers various creative tools. These include Photo Stacking, HDR imaging, Burst mode, Zebra Stripes for exposure analysis, and live filters. This comprehensive set of features allows users to experiment and enhance their creative projects.
The attachment is also MagSafe compatible, so all you really need to do is slap it onto your smartphone, and you’re off to photograph the world. It also works with MagSafe stickers for those that don’t have the ability on their device.
SPARK is currently part of a Kickstarter campaign with a starting pledge of US$99. Impressively, over 500% of its goal was backed within a day.
