iLoqk is a new project for iPad 2 that brings us the possibility to use the iPad 2 tablet in a completely and completely new way. The initiators of the project designed a special case for iPad 2 on which a tripod can be mounted, which allows us to place the tablet on a flat surface and watch movies, write, etc. However, the tripod is not all because for the tablet there is also a telescopic accessory that expands the ways in which the tablet can be used, but it also comes equipped with a mechanism that automatically triggers the shutter of the tablet and allows us to take pictures without actually pressing the button on the screen. Practically, the telescopic accessory has a mounted kind of button that, once pressed, emits a sound that a special application for iPad 2 recognizes, activates the tablet's shutter and records the picture.
The tripod, the telescopic accessory called Xshot plus the clamp with which the tripod is attached to the tablet costs $80 and you get the special case for iPad 2 for free. The project is more than interesting and very useful, but unfortunately the money needed to finance it was nowhere near raised, so it will probably never be available in stores.
We have come up with an innovative way to get a grip on the iPad 2 to make better use of the dual cameras. The idea is a safe and secure removable latch system that allows you to quickly attach a universal tripod mount in portrait or landscape mode. The best part is that it does not add bulk to the device. The lightweight polycarbonate skin snap fits the iPad 2 with two small slots that accept the latch in portrait or landscape mode. So when the tripod mount is not needed, the skin does not add bulk as it is only 1mm thick.
Now you have a way to stabilize your iPad 2 and get the most out of the HD back camera and VGA front camera. Set up on a tripod, stabilize and let your imagination take over on what you can do with the cameras.
Attach the XShot to your iPad 2 and see what you can do with facetime, video conferencing, teleprompting, Skype, photo booth, self portraits and much more.
Getting the right tripod is a must, and reward #3 will take care of you. You get a high quality aluminum folding tripod. The 3 legs open up to a wide stable stance and keep your iPad 2 safe and secure in a low profile position.
