Padcaster Makes Techie Gift List

The Padcaster has recently been named one of the best camera accessories to give to loved ones this holiday season by tech website CNET.
A sturdy combination of aluminum and urethane, The Padcaster is an iPad case turned production studio, with a series of threaded holes lining all four sides to host camera gear - including lights, external mics, and any number of accessories to assist in filming.
An optional addition to the Padcaster, the Lenscaster is a separate, attachable accessory that allows filmmakers to use wide angle and telephoto adapters or their favorite lenses with the iPad’s camera, giving them control over the focus and depth of field for that film-like quality never before possible on an iPad.
"Being named one of the best camera accessories in CNET’s Holiday Gift Guide was pretty much like getting knighted by tech-geek royalty," comments Josh Apter, founder and president, The Padcaster LLC. "So far customers are thrilled with their Padcasters, shooting all kinds of amazing things, and everyone’s saying that The Padcaster is the gift that will put a childish grin on any gear-lover's face - and of course, I agree!"
CNET says: "For those who like to push the limits of their iPad's video capabilities, there's the Padcaster. This case allows you to mount an iPad on a tripod, monopod, or other support. The outside of the sturdy aluminum frame is lined with 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threaded holes for attaching lights, an external mic, or other camera gear."
The Padcaster Also Receives High Praise from Technology Tell’s Bill Stiteler
“Regardless, The Padcaster itself is an extremely useful attachment for those who need to shoot steady video with their iPad: mobile newscasts, podcasts, or grab-and-go guerrilla shoots. Because while the iPad may not look like a camera, the benefit of that is two people with a monopod and an iPad could be more inconspicuous than two people with a video camera and a tripod. And since its made of aluminum and urethane, the Padcaster still fits conveniently into a backpack.
The iPad is an amazing tool for shooting photos and video. It’s not a case, it’s not a fashion statement, it’s a tool, a piece of pro-level gear. And for the people who recognize that, the Padcaster is an equally amazing, though simple way for them to use it for video production."
