CBS Reporter Shooting News with an iPhone

Ed Curran, a reporter for WBBM-TV in Chicago (the CBS affiliate) is reporting on the CES show in Las Vegas using an iPhone with an owle

adapter.

Curran has outfitted his iPhone with an Owle bube, a fancy iPhone holder designed to enhance video shooting with Apple’s cell phone. Standing for “Optical Widgets for Life Enhancement,” the Owle helps Curran hold his iPhone steady for shooting video. The Owle also features a wide-angle lens on front and several equipment mounts on top and bottom.

The Owle’s built-in lens vastly improves the iPhone’s lens, Curran said, while the mounts allow him to attach several pieces of professional equipment, including a LED video light and a wireless microphone.

“I would not hesitate to put this stuff on the TV,” he said about the video he’s obtained at the show.

“I’ve been at the show for years and years with $90,000 video cameras,” he said. “This allows me to shoot with a cell phone.”

Curran will be posting his CES videos on his Tech Blog starting on Wednesday.

I went to amazon.com and ordered myself two in total of the Owle Bubo iPhone holder not long after reading this article over a year ago. And what a difference it made for me in being able to steady my shots. Thank you so much for this article.
