iPhone 4 Wide Angle Lens and How to Use It

The iPhone shoots approx. 29.5mm photos and 40mm video so the need for a wide angle lens in many instances is needed. The HDhat wide angle is actually comprised of two elements:
1) the first smaller lens which screws on and off is used to shoot photos at an amazing 14.75mm or in other words 2X wider than just the iPhone itself. The smaller lens also has 2 parts which can be unscrewed allowing the lens to become a fantastic macro lens for your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S.
2) the second large lens is screwed onto the smaller lens for shooting video at a stunning 14mm!!
The amazing thing is because of the lens setup and the 'stepping' up to 14mm along with a big lens on the front that is a .7x is the result is 14mm non-distorted clear video.

Then it is as simple as holding your finger on the screen to lock the exposure and focus and start filming video wider than you can with a 10mm lens on a DSLR all with your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S.

HDhat and the HDhatStore also makes custom wide angle lens for the iPad 2 and other Apple products.

sweet !!!!! i got a ? here mark. I made a movie with my I phone 4 but once i up loaded them to my computer all the shots came out upside down. how would you fix that ???? Plus what is the best way to hold the i phone so this doesn't happen again ???

@1989raff The phone should be held landscape with the lens in the upper left corner. I have never seen that happen, but did search the Apple forum and it seems quite a few people have similar issues with their phones i.e. it displays correctly but then when loaded to computer it is upside down. Try to update phone...power it all the way off then back on then if no resolve bring it to an Apple store or use your edit software to flip it

Great video Mark... I like how you explained that people need to stop and re calibrate the exposure as you film
