While a lot of smartphones and tablets have high enough specs that you can take quality pictures and videos, there are times when a DSLR is still your camera of choice. But we’ve gotten so used to the bigger screen of our mobile devices that the small LCD in the DSLR seems to not be enough. A new Kickstarter project can give you that bigger monitor, without buying expensive screens, but just a portable, simple mount for your smartphone or tablet.
The Camlet Mount simply put will give you a better way to control and view the pictures or videos you’re taking with your DSLR camera by allowing it to connect with your mobile device of choice. You can also adjust your angles from multiple views, like for a lower position or forward-facing when you want to use it for selfies or video blogging. The grips on the mount are adjustable so that you can use it for any smartphone or tablet that you want to use. It can fit tablets up to 7-8 inches. The holders are easily adjustable and interchangeable, so that you can switch from one gadget to another, even while you’re on the shoot itself.
Another thing that the Camlet Mount can helo you with is giving your DSLR live sharing capabilities. So as long as you have WiFi or data connection from your gadget, you’ll be able to post on your social networks right at the very moment when you’ve taken an amazing shot of the sunset. The mount is easily foldable if you want to use your DSLR old-school style, and you can also use it with one hand or on the tripod.
The Kicstarter project is still some way before it reaches its target of $45,000. But there are still 38 days to go in the campaign, so if you’d like to have the Camel Mount, you can back the project for as low as $59. Estimated delivery is by November of this year.

This is a crowdfunded project, and as such may not deliver what its creators initially promise. Most crowdfunding sites, like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, have policies about what happens to your money if the project fails to deliver on its goals, but choosing to back a project is inevitably a risk. Android Community’s reporting on crowdfunded projects should in no way be seen as an endorsement, unless specifically stated, and we recommend closely examining the terms and conditions to understand your individual rights as a backer before making a pledge.
