Owle Bubo - Put Lenses, Mics, Lights on your iPhone - review

Owle Bubo - so the Camera in the iPhone isn't awesome, but it's "good enough", But Blunty3000 has found a product called the OWLE Bubo which makes it BETTER.
For those who have asked;
How do I attach Wide angle, fish eye, macro or telephoto lenses to my iPhone?
How to I attach an external microphone to my iPhone?
How to I attach a light to my iphone for taking video or photos in the dark?
How do I attach my iPhone to a tripod?
or
How can I take better looking, smoother vids with my iPhone?
The Owle Bubo, despite it's silly name, will let you do all of that even all of that at once! it's pretty neat.

Here's the video of the 40 ton stress test smashing the prototype owlebubo to bits; Watch one of the guys get scared shitless ;)

Oh and additionally, does the iphone 4 produce even better photos and videos after it was mounted on the owle bubo and the different kinds of lens since the iphone's new camera is now in HD. Thank you once again.

@davidogan Vastly more flexible.

Hi Blunty. First time viewer from Thailand here. Great review show you have. Love your enthusiasm and "blunt" style of review. Thinking of getting the owle bubo in terms of enhancing audio quality with external microphones? And I am also curious whether the bubo could work with the new ipod gen4 also? Would love to hear your answer. Even better, perhaps a video review on the subject would be great. Thank you.

@davidogan As you can see in this video Mics mount fine. I don't have an iPod to test.

The problem is that most DSLR's made by Canon, Pentax, Nikon, etc... Use bayonet style lens mounts, as apposed to screw mount rigs. So finding screw mount lenses which were last used by large camera manufactures during the 50's and 60's, might be abit of a challenge as time goes on. At the price you are paying I'd just used SLR As this will give you a focal ring, an aperture control ring, and a shutter speed control knob.

@GalaticTG I'm sorry dude, but you're a colossal twat... screw mount lenses are easy to find and will continue to be. they are extremely common.
