Hi,
has anybody tried this out already? Any feedback?
Looks quite interessting, will buy it in the next couple of days, I guess.
Best regards

I've got one made by 3M which I bought off Amazon. It is very fiddly to get on and off and line up with the lens. A clamp spring keeps coming out so can't clamp it onto the phone easily. The position of the lens on the Blackstone is such that the clamp presses onto the volume button and the clamp is not secure on the phone as it has to protrude over the top of the phone above the lens. When I tried to take pictures using the zoom to maximum the result was a picture with a part black round circle around it. You could crop the circle out of the picture but then you are left with a small photo.
I've quickly done something with telescope and without attached for you to assess. It takes a long time to get it lined up correctly because the lens it too high on the Blackstone.
Actually it looks like that Brando one may fit better as it does not have clamps like the one I've got. I see it has a separate back that will work much better than the one I have. Will be interested to hear how you go with it if you get one.
Hm, not really amazing results at all . Have you noticed any better results without any zoom, or is this telescope just good for zooming in?

Hi
As the x10 mini has no front camera to use with video chat software.I thought of this late one night.
are you kiding me?
you will need a magnet too. Problem?
Are you kidding.yeah just kidding.luv to kid.so im old i dont know.has this been done before,isnt it a good idea.i like my phone,i like vid calling.i recon it would work.just click it on when you need it,its keyring sized.A tiny neodium magnet would hold it pucker.and if its been done before--great minds think alike..all feedback welcome friends-much loove
It is a nice idea but it have a big flaw. Picture you would record would be flipped horizontaly. That means that you would have to hold your phone upside down...
I attached picture so you can see it

Do you guys really take a lot of pictures with a tablet? It just seems so silly to me. I would NEVER take a picture with my tablet when I have an EVO 3d to do that. I guess maybe for video but even then, I've got a much smaller device that can do it really well.
Because camera are fun, because there s a camera button on every single apps in Android. Because cameras are a part of what makes those modern device so well connected to everything around us and so unique and fun to use, it's the same as GPS, gyroscope, lightsensor. There are AR apps, photoshop, movie maker and all sort of stuff that make good use of the camera.
If you take away the camera, you loose this part of what makes mobile device that much more fun to use, you lean the tablet toward the laptop world were everything is less simple but more powerfull. So you loose what makes it great without having what makes laptop better.
It may look silly holding a tablet to shoot some photo but lets be honest 10 seconds. It doesn't look THAT MUCH more silly than taking photo with anything else. Right now the silliest is that camera on tablet are awfull so taking picture with it means you re dumb or at least tasteless. With a good camera on a tablet and you happen to have your tablet in your hand at this moment, why not take the ****ing picture directly with the tablet ? Who cares what people think ? In 5 years from now everyone will do it anyway.
Camera not only take pictures but good for web chatting, email, Facebook communication and etc.
These things does has cameras in case you are sitting somewhere playing with your tablet and bigfoot walks by. By the time you get out your Evo 3d bigfoot has sauntered into the nearby woods. Oh yeah and video chat.
I find the camera very handy on my field.
I have to walk and check operations and take notes. When I find something that's not working I quickly take a picture and make notes highlighting the problem and quickly sending an E-mail to have a resolution.
i'm not really sure what the issue is?
do you want less stuff for the same amount of money?
anywhoo, like it's been stated, FFC is great for video chat, and a rear camera is handy to have if nothing else is in your hand at the moment, or for AR apps, etc.

I guess I should've stated the rear facing one, i understand why you'd want a front one.
For me personally, I'd never use a tablet to take a picture, ever. And not because you might look "stupid", or "dumb", because it's bulky and I'd be afraid I'd drop it!

But it is there if you ever need it. If you are holding your Prime and your phone is in your pocket and you see something you need a picture of it makes more sense just to hit the camera icon and take the photo with the tablet rather than fumble around to get your phone out. I for one would be annoyed if it wasn't there. I would even be annoyed if it didn't have the flash ala the TF1.
trolololololololol

while i'd never use the camera on the ipad2, xoom, or even the galaxy tab unless i had no other choice, the camera on the prime has been getting pretty decent reviews, so if i happened to be holding it, or it was more handy than my phone or digital camera at the moment i wanted to take a picture of something, i wouldn't mind using it.
but i don't think anyone is looking to use any tablet as a camera replacement, but an AR POI app would need a rear camera to function, so i'm glad it's there.

What he said. I am going to use this to replace my work laptop, as I mostly use it for some minor word/excel work and Email. I am a R&D chef, and am constantly snapping pics of steps in making a new product, or new products I have seen, etc. This will keep me from having to transfer from another device. I expect to use it to record video demos as well for our web site.
Then of course I can game on it when in a hotel room or at home.
Think about "scanning" stuff and make notes on it with a pen on the go ;-)
I don't think its really needed but you can get creative with it. Its nice to have anyway and afaik its the same as the iPhone 4s uses so its gonna be a good one on the prime.
They should have ditched the camera (s) and knocked 50 bucks off the price and put in a bigger battery! Or that second speaker you all want!
Anyone taking a picture with a tablet looks like a retard! Plain and simple! And why would you want to see the person your talking to? It's dumb just call them or go see them!
There is no point to a camera on a phone or a tablet I've used my evo camera like twice! And I've had it forever!

Well that's your opinion, believe it or not there are other people out there too...
I don't see any point in taking photos with a tablet, but for all the other apps which need images it's quite useful

isnt the answer obvious?
asus are stupid... i mean, EVERYONE owns a camera!
lol i DONT own a camera and im happy to be getting one.
In meetings, when I use my tablet, I like being able to take a picture of the whiteboard while in a workout-in-progress, and immediately have the succession of work available. If I use my phone, I have to email pictures to myself, so I can have them on my tablet.
Also, chicks dig a big sensor on my tablet.
For those thinking about lack of internet access... um, I always tether.

The camera on the note 3 has wonderful quality but anyone who's ever tried to shoot professional looking video on it can attest to the fact that it has pretty horrible stabilization issues.
Has anyone come across a case that provides additional grip/support/stabilization, preferably also giving the versatility to be used on a tripod/monopod and in a perfect world, allowing for a cold shoe for which to mount an external shotgun mic?
I'd really love to see something like the owle case http://www.macworld.com/article/1157656/owle_iphone.html but anything you guys have seen to make this thing a bit more stable would help.
do you guys think that something like this might fit? (it looks a little small) - http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/slingshot/

The Slingshot looks like it will work. It adjusts itself to whatever phone is in it, and they claim it will work with any smartphone. I don't see why it wouldn't work for the Note3.

the only downside i see really is where to mount the microphone
What I would do is get a TPU case and mod it into a Wii steering wheel:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...r-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-N9000/1492093700.html
mod it with a dremel and epoxy or some other DIY cement.
This should work, I just got a Wiimote and it is the same length as my Note 3.
is there anyone using vr glasses with g3?
can you share?

This model weighs on the nose and bothers, but the experience is truly exceptional ... I have yet to test well with the movie, but the yield of youtube is exceptional .. for what it costs .. I have to try some more applications, but I tried roller coaster, and you say, wow ... nice app that make you see the video by way of film ... where you can turn your head always having the screen in place ..
sorry for my bad english...

archos VR headset
I bought the Archos VR headset a few weeks ago for my LG G3 (d855) and I must admit I'm really impressed by the build quality. The cracking sound when opening the headset is kinda Scarry at first but you seem to get used to it. The phone fits inside very nice although I once almost dropped my phone when it slides out while using. Seems I didn't closed enough or so.
For apps, sometimes you find great content. Sometimes not. Viewing video is nice and the turning with the gyroscope works very well. The only downside of this headset is the lack of a magnetic button like other cardboard headsets. You're able to input while gaming with a game controller or a Bluetooth mouse.
For €15 this was a great buy and I'm very happy with it although the lack of really intensive content makes it more a party trick than a daily toy.
Does anybody know of a controller that works with G3. Its kinda difficult to navigate phone if it in headset. Im buying my G3 tomorrow.

For the moment I use a bluetooth mouse but that isn't really perfect when in the split view mode. I think it mostly depends on the dev to build in controller support..
Colorcross is a decent headset vor the G3, large adjustable lenses, even the distance between your eyes. It fits just about any phone. Leaves top and/or bottom connections (usb, aux) free might you wanna connect something to it.
I've brought simple cardboard from ebay, and I must say that this thing is very, very impressive. works great with the G3

Have seen a youtube review for it and found on an online shop. It sounds like a decent device but I think it is just for watching movies as it lacks magnet button on side like some others do, which adds interaction that used in some vr apps. I therefore hv just ordered one on dx.com, a brand called Neje. Will share my opinions when it arrives.
