Ben Heck, expert modder and webshow host, is at it again with his newest creation, the Real-Life Portal T-Shirt. By modifying the shirt with “a chest-mounted LCD screen and a back-mounted CCD camera,” Heck created a t-shirt which puts a hole through your belly, right where the cake would have been if it weren’t a lie. Ben shows off his Portal T-Shirt by showing off some of his previous mods, viewable through his midsection. Check out the video after the... Continue reading

At first glance, I would have sworn this was some engine for a small motorcycle, but then I thought to myself, “Wait, engines don’t have lenses.” No, what I saw wasn’t an engine at all. This was some sort of camera. And a Canon DSLR at that. As it turns out, this is Swedish Chameleon’s way of compressing a whole bunch of photographic features into one awkward, yet completely usable, DSLR rig. Swedish Chameleon aims to reduce the size of... Continue reading

Don’t get me wrong. The new 5 megapixels sensor of the iPhone 4 is a vast improvement over other iPhone models, but it just doesn’t do the trick for taking some of the detailed, intricate photos some of us enjoy taking. Japanese stargazer Jurilog decided that instead of using a DSLR camera, he wanted to use the iPhone 4 to capture a detailed shot of the moon. So Jurilog did what any true geek does when technical specs hold you... Continue reading

Monsoon season is just around the corner. And you know what that means. Massive rainfall in a short amount of time. For a photographer, just the mention of rain can cause your anxiety level to rise. That’s why something like the ThinkTank Hydrophobia Rain Cover can come in such handy if you’re in a heavily moist climate. Zipping right around your DSLR camera and up to a 70-200mm sized lens, the Cover keeps your photography safe from a raindrop gone... Continue reading

According to OmniVision, they’ve secured 5 MP CIS orders for the next-generation Apple iPhone device, expected to be released  in the second half of 2010, which would sort of coincide with other rumors we’ve been hearing about WWDC. OmniVision was also the supplier for the 3.2 MP CIS of the iPhone 3GS. This would pretty much coincide with the general direction Apple has been heading, with a significant iPhone launch every year or so, featuring steadily increased specs. The same... Continue reading

So you’re a private eye and your subject just happens to be a chain smoker. Sounds like a pretty common problem, right? Believe it or not, about 70% of Gearfuse readers are detectives of some sort (and that’s not even counting Asian upskirt voyeurs and superheroes). The Spycam Lighter Camera looks just like your normal run of the mill cigarette lighter except it has the ability to look up the skirts spy on the habits of unsuspecting smokers. It’s certainly...

Using a specially modified Samsung ST-1000 point-and-shoot digital camera, Nonja the Orangutan, currently a resident of the Schönbrunn Zoo in Austria, snaps photos of herself, which are automatically sent to her Facebook wall. Currently standing at over 20,000 fans, Nonja’s Facebook page is becoming sort of a sensation as it provides a new prospective into the life of apes. Or at least the life of an ape. Even if this ape is being lured into taking photos with a special... Continue reading

The Phone-O-Scope, by iPhone mod extraordinaire Bhautik Joshi, is an optical coupler which allows you to attach an SLR lens to your iPhone. If you’ve been looking for a way to add some DSLR power to your camera phone, an app probably isn’t the way to go, especially when you can get the real thing with a roll of duct tape and a little tinkering. The lens adds some really powerful SLR features, such as vastly improved DOF.

Erin Fong’s Nova DSLR concept reestablishes everything we thought we knew about DSLR camera design and recreates it in a novel way. The Nova features a swiveling wing-like design which makes the device more ergonomic and, all-in-all, more stable. I imagine camera shake would also decrease with this design as both hands should balance and compliment each other well.

Looking for that perfect accessory to accompany your Polaroid Pendant?

The seller has chosen a sheep-goat-cow-ram thingy for posterity reasons. What sort of friggen’ animal is that anyway? Link [via]
