    Actually not a bad product due to the fact that some zoom/tele lens are so damn heavy. You can do something similar with the NEX series (and anything that supports wireless viewfinder+remote) too though there isn't a clip for your phone.

    hooking up a bunch of extension tubes and big lenses to an phone... what a click slut. It doesn't even make sense at all.

    Agreed, it's not very practical, is it?

    Nothing but an SLR should be attached to something that big...

    Yeah, talk about wasting all that expensive optic on a tiny mobile phone sensor and processor. Utter waste and other than going for clicks because it's outrageous, it's pointless, it's like putting a Ferrari engine in a Fiesta.

    Would be fun to watch it escape the cops though

    IIRC there was a story of a Reliant Robin shot past the cops at over a ton, eventually they found it abandoned and it had a Jaguar engine in it

    Not sure how they fit a Jag engine in a 3 wheeler though

    don't think that's even remotely possible, without completely changing the engine bay.

    Yea, it's a story from back in my school days I think, so more than likely just a story - no doubt someone has done something equally as crazy at some point though

    for the money all of that modding cost, you can easily buy a Nissan GTR. I'd take the GTR and enjoy that a lot more than a sh1tty 500.

    Except it isn't mounted to a phone. The phone is simply the viewfinder.

    The camera in the first photo is a A01
    http://olympus-imaging.jp/product/opc/a01/index.html
    (I think it is a M34?)

    which is similar to Sony's QX1 (APSC). They are basically a display-less camera module with a wireless link to a phone.

    Still it is for fun, and obviously not practical (though I do say, it might actually help with large telephoto lens, those weight a ton!).

    Ah, didn't pick up on that, I had my eyes focused on the extension tubes and that big lens.

    Still, I would rather just carry a DSLR around if I was dragging that large an optic around with me.

    I think the concept might actually work pretty well if you don't have a tripod or railing (for sports venues) to lean a large telephoto on, but otherwise it is pretty much a "fun" project that someone with alot of Olympus gear around put together.

    But yeah, might be more useful if they put larger sensors like FF ones into them.

    You'll never see a professional donning one of these setups at an event. They do go for a professional DSLR for a reason :) But yeah, it's a "fun" project, as long as they get some clicks, right?
