Make Professional Movies on your iPad 2 with Movie Mount
By 
Makayama Mobile is making a tripod mountable case for the iPad 2. The mount is specially designed to provide movie making possible with Apple’s second generation tablet.
The snug-fitting case is designed to allow the attachment of professional grade camera accessories, like condenser microphones, high-quality lights and 37mm conversion lenses such as tele- and wide angle. The whole thing can be mounted to a stabilizing tripod for smooth shooting. It is important to note that the microphone, lenses, lights and tripod do not come with the case.
