Turn Your Smartphone to a DSLR with the Pictar Pro

Mobile photography is fast growing beyond a hobby or a way for people to capture important moments. Thanks to the week-on-week breakthroughs and improvements being made on the camera by the phone manufacturers, it is now becoming a mainstream method of documenting visual information, with both professionals (from Journalists to Magazine Photographers) and Semi-professionals (like YouTubers and Instagram influencers) relying on it as a way to create their video or picture contents. However, phones are made for the mass public, and thus lack some of the important features that standard professional camera’s come with, for quality video and pictures. Solving this and providing Smartphone users with the same controls, feel, and handling that comes with a professional camera was what led to the development of the Pictar Pro.

The Pictar Pro is a combined hardware and software (Mobile App) solution for smartphone photography. The Pictar Pro hardware is a smartphone attachment that enables users to add dozens of controls and features to the smartphone, bridging the gap between the Phone’s power and the usability of a professional camera. The hardware also provides a terrific user experience with a polished metal grip and an unmatched front-loaded intuitive user interface.

Some of the features of the hardware are highlighted in the image below;

Utilizing a seamless modern pairing connection technology, Pictar Pro pairs with your smartphone instantly via sound-waves, and becomes accessible by the Pictar Pro app with no physical or Bluetooth connection necessary.

The Pictar Pro Software (Mobile App) comes with several photography features to provide users with more control, information, and options on the output of each shot. The software allows users to select between 9 different preset modes.

It also comes with additional features like white balance control and manual focus which gives users the ability to select which objects come into focus and which ones fall out of focus.  The app also adds DSLR features like Horizon Indicator which shows when your shot is leveled and a histogram feature which helps review the lighting details behind the shot.

Some of the other features of the Pictar Pro include;

• Advanced digital zoom
• Manual ISO
• White Balance Control
• Shutter Speed Control
• Adjust Frame Rate
• Video Stabilization

The Pictar Pro comes with several accessories to enhance the experience of users. It comes with;

• A travel case which ensures the device is safe when moving it around.
• Pictar Pro Viewfinder which is an unfold and pop 0n-screen for dark and focussed preview
• Pictar Pro Wrist Wrap which allows users hold the device safely in hand.
• Pictar Pro Neck Wrap. The neck wrap allows users to wear the smartphone around the neck, just like you will do a professional camera
• Miggo Splat Flexible Tripod which comes in handy for users who need to shoot with the Pictar Pro on a standard.

When attached to Pictar Pro’s body, the foldable silicon viewfinder enables you to preview images and videos in full vivid detail- even under the brightest lights. Like when you’re outdoors on a sunny afternoon.
