Hand Held Hollywood

The Grip and Shoot is a re-imagined, Bluetooth enabled, totally awesome pistol-grip for iPhone videographers. Want!

Schneider Optics, makers of the iPro Lens, was back at Macworld / iWorld this year showing off some new lenses as well as a new lens attachment for the iPad! They've even branched out with a new lens mounting case for Samsung smartphones.

Studio Neat, one of my favorite companies, was back at the expo this year showing off their newly revamped iPhone tripod mount, the GLIF ($30).

In the market for a portable, lightweight, collapsable iPhone or iPad tripod? Square Jellyfish has you covered! In this video, you'll see a quick demo of their best selling Spring Tripod Mount Combo Kit. Looks pretty sweet!

It's not often I'll cover a hard drive on HHH. In fact, I think this is the first time. So what makes this hard drive unique? It's a stand-alone personal "cloud" that can be used as remote storage for the videos you shoot in the field.

Thinking about getting a GoPro? WAIT! If you've already got an iPhone, you should definitely check out the Optrix PhotoProX -- a rugged, waterproof iPhone case (to 33 feet) with interchangeable lenses.

Macworld/iWorld has brought us another treasure in the form of the Hoodini -- a collapsable iPad shade from Hoodivision.

Olloclip was giving sneak peeks of their soon-to-be-released clip-on lens system for the iPad!

Does your video suffer from the shakes? Perhaps it needs a dose of Emulsio! Equally at home on iPhone or iPad, Emulsio (previously known as Movie Stiller) is an impressive app that will stabilize unsteady footage, remove unwanted rolling-shutter artifacts (a.k.a. "jello-cam"), and make you the envy of millions (that last part is not guaranteed).

We've been at Macworld since Thursday, shooting product demos and gathering information about new apps & accessories for mobile media makers. This video is a quick introduction to HHH's coverage, and my general impressions of this year's expo.
