Apotop i-Selfie brings you an innovative wireless Selfie snapshot experience
Apotop, a Carry Technology Co. Ltd. global consumer brand, recently announced the i-Selfie wireless snapshot remote for iPhone camera. i-Selfie is an easy-to-use Bluetooth 4.0 wireless shutter for iPhone 4S/5/5c/5S, iPad 3rd/4th, iPad mini/iPod touch 5.Smart phones have become increasingly popular and their integrated cameras have become more powerful as well. More and more people are now using their phones instead of conventional digital cameras to take photos. Many people love taking snapshots wherever they go, but phone cameras have their limitations. Examples include camera shake, caused by the pressing of the camera, or constraints on angle and distance in handheld mode. Travel photos need more than just the face in the picture. Composition and clarity matter as well. Apotop general manager, Taron Chang said, "Famous people all around the world including U.S. President Obama and Hollywood celebrities are currently obsessed with selfies. The Apotop i-Selfie wireless snapshot device for iOS will enable users to experience an innovative way of taking snapshots."The Apotop i-Selfie's simulated volume + button design does not require an app download and can take photos directly with an iOS' integrated camera. It can also be used with all camera apps that support volume up as a shutter button. Operation is very easy. When taking a selfie while holding the phone, press lightly on the remote to easily take a photo wirelessly and avoid blurry shots due to camera shake while pressing the button. Apart from selfies, special angles such as high- and low-angle shots are no longer limited by the placement of the shutter button easier. Using the remote enables more flexible shooting.There is always bound to be a group photo whenever friends get together. The constraints of shooting by hand however mean that someone is always left out. The i-Selfie's ingenuous design combines a mobile phone stand with the remote to solve the problem of taking group photos with a handheld phone. You can place the phone in any location you like, thus leaving your hands free to take all the photos you like to preserve more memorable pictures with a wider field of view. The headphone jack decoration design means it can be carried wherever you go so you can enjoy the fun of wireless snapshots any time, any place.The Apotop i-Selfie is a very light and compact design. Based on Bluetooth 4.0 power-saving technology, a single CR2032 button cell can be used 100,000 times. There is also a 3-minute auto-off power-saving function. Available in black, pink or blue, it is easy to operate and the perfect choice for your own use or as a gift.About ApotopApotop is a brand of Carry Technology Co. Ltd., with a mission to develop innovative storage, and portable wireless products to enhance productivity of mobile devices.
