> GOPHONE - OG CASE
I posted about the iPhone case I was designing a while ago, with the GoPro mount built on so you can use your phone as a handle and screen for your GoPro. Well, we made the Kickstarter goal and will be making a run of these things!
I thought I'd update you here. We had some dramas with the name Gophone. Apparently AT&T have a Gophone already, it's some prepaid phone plan you can buy in the states. So we are calling it OG Case. Have a look at the website and you can preorder them from here too:
www.theogcase.com
We also added a tripod thread mount onto the side of the case so you can get super tech with the rig. Maybe mount an on board light onto the case for night time lines, or even if you want to mount your phone to another camera and still have your gopro feed coming in (filming a gig where the gopro is mounted up on stage somewhere and your operating another camera).
Also, here's the latest render of the case. Will be shipping mid July.
Thanks guys, its all a massive learning curve right now, especially getting this in shops. Would really appreciate any connections/advice people have with getting it stocked in shops and distributed. So if you know anyone or could help out in any way hit me up, that'd be amazing
Haven't read the finer details but I would buy this just to support and buy a GoPro just to use it haha well done.
Hmm didn't read full detail but didn't look it it was a battery pack case as well? Perhaps that could be the next type of case? Everyone complains about battery life and if you're filming with iPhone screen on then it could drain the battery quite quicker than you think! Just my 2 cents! MAKE MILLIONS $$$
Good luck!
Re distribution; Just have an awesome site and keep making it more awesome then that's your reference.. the rest is easy! Not sure how original this idea is but should probably put a patent on it (not cheap) because tbh, this is the first I've heard of this and original!
