Yesterday, I mentioned Sony’s new tablet mount for their QX series of lens-based cameras. Loop reader Pat Fauquet pointed me to another, related product, the Padcaster.

The Padcaster has been around for a while now. It’s a frame for your iPad designed to hold accessories, like video lights, microphones, video lenses, and audio interfaces. Most importantly, it allows your iPad to be mounted on a video tripod, giving you everything you need to use your iPad for video production.

Here’s a link to the product page. Click around to see the various elements that make up the Padcaster. There are frames for all the older iPads, and the company is now taking pre-orders for an adapter for the iPad Air.

Good stuff. Thanks Pat.
