lenzO transforms your iPhone into an underwater camera

the lenzO is designed to transform your iPhone into a high quality diving camera. the waterproof phone case is the brainchild of valentins ranetkins, the designer of the national geographic’s underwater workhouse ‘aquatica,’ and five-time emmy award-winning underwater cinematagrapher anthony lenzo. the duo founded montreal-based corporate valstech, and exhibited the phone case at boot dusselsorf.

lenzO is underwater housing specialist valentine ranetkins’ latest project

the lenzO is depth-tested down to 100 meters or 328 feet, and floats in water should you let go of the device. designed for both professional photographers and tourists, the case works with the native iPhone camera app, and requires no additional software.

the dome lens aligns with the iPhone’s internal camera

lenzO uses an anti-reflective dome lens that aligns with the phone’s internal camera. the lens is designed to provide optically precise images underwater with no soft corners or distortion. it incorporates 2 built-in color correction filters—one red and one magenta—which can be placed over the lens to adjust the white-balance, allowing you to shoot in both green and blue tinted waters.

lenzo has an ergonomic control system that monitors the touchscreen

the main body of the case is made from solid aluminum, with a hard ceramic coating and an acrylic panel covering the screen. to allow you to use the touchscreen underwater, valstech has created an erganomic control system. by operating a control on the outside of the case, it adjusts a small arm on the inside. when you press on the outside, the arm touches the screen on the inside, allowing you to control camera functions within the water seal.

an included lanyard helps keep the device from getting away, while top and bottom tripod mounts allow accessories such as lights or handles to be added. lenzO also works with all native camera functions, such as selfie mode, zoon, af/ ae, burst and image review.
