owle_mountSome time ago, Zacuto came out with an $295 iPhone 3GS mount intended to stabilize handheld video shooting, dubbed the Zgrip iPhone Pro. They followed that one up with a more indie-priced option, the $69 Zgrip iPhone Jr.

Well I just ran across another option online, called the OWLE Bubo. OWLE stands for “Optical Widget for Life Enhancement,” and the device is a combination camera mount, stabilizer, and off-iPhone mic. It also includes a built in 37mm (.45x) wide-angle lens (which I imagine helps hide some of that handheld shake). It’s constructed of anodized aluminum, and a plastic version is in the works. Price tag? $120 MSRP, but currently at $100 introductory pricing. It’s certainly and interesting option, I’d love to hear from any OWLE users.
