Turn Your IPad Into A Camera

Turn Your IPad Into A Camera. Using your iPad as a camera has sparked controversy, most notably, it being a love/hate choice; either you love turning your iPad into a serious piece of photography kit, or, you completely detest the idea all together, finding it difficult to fathom why anyone would choose to point and shoot with a tablet.

However, If you’re of the former variety, here are some of the very best photography accessories to transform your iPad, or, of course, to tempt you to convert.

It combines proficient editing tools alongside fun features to create a tool which is not only going to enhance your photography, but also provide a bit of light-hearted entertainment.

LightTrac can help with the lighting, giving you advice on the perfect time to take that photo.

TabStrap

For a less technical app, but by no means less useful, TabStrap is the perfect companion for anyone who wants their iPad at hand and ready to go. It’s not only actual cameras that can be slung round your neck ready for inspiration to take hold, TabStrap keeps iPads safely in place over your shoulders so you’re only ever a second away from snapping the perfect image. There is nothing worse than having to fumble around for a camera, or having to carry it in your hand, only for the moment to have gone before you’ve even had the shutter off. Now it’s not a problem anymore, if you don’t mind being the type of person who has their iPad hanging over their shoulder.
