indie iPhone 5 - the indie i5
Say hello to the new indie i5™ — the ultimate iPhone 5 photo/video accessory.
Building on the unprecedented and patent pending features brought to the world of iPhoneography and independent iPhone video production by the original indie for iPhone 4 & 4S, the indie i5 once again delivers new levels of image control and optimized camera operation.
While held securely in a black anodized precision CNC machined compartment behind a stunning red anodized cover, the indie i5 offers easy access to the relocated headphone jack, redesigned dock connector, and front and rear cameras of the new iPhone 5. Both the body and cover of the indie i5 are manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminum.
Composing a photo or shooting video is much more intuitive thanks to the indie i5's exclusive "on center" design. With this innovation, wherever you point your arm your lens will follow, perfect for hand held news shots, fast moving action or self-recording while video blogging. With the unmatched range of professional-level accessories one can mount, this amazing photo/video accessory delivers a virtual Swiss Army knife of creative possibilities.
Image making versatility begins with the indie i5's industry standard 37mm accessory lens mount, but an entirely new and unprecedented level of creative control is now available thanks to the indie's exclusive channels for 15mm rails or rods (first introduced on the indie for iPhone 4/4S). Common in professional film making and popular among HDSLR users, rails provide the means to install matte boxes (and the use of graduated filters), shoulder mounts, custom handle rigs, follow-focus, flags, ring lights and so much more.
New in the indie i5 is another exclusive innovation, a compartment on the left side of the body, complete with two wire "runs" outside the housing, which could be used for extra battery power, audio accessories or storage.
Shipment will begin at a date to be announced. Please like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter so you can hear the news as soon as it is announced. Don't forget, our indie for iPhone 4 and 4S is available for immediate shipment from us and several terrific retail partners. More details below and links in the column on the left.

Manufactured in the USA with great precision from CAD drawings guiding CNC machines, each indie is produced from a solid block of aerospace grade aluminum. This accuracy allows the indie to securely carry your iPhone in a tailored compartment behind a magnetically closed sliding door. It also means that your iPhone must be "bare" to fit, no screen protectors, stickers or decals.
Safely enclosed, the indie offers you complete access to the touch screen, home button, headphone/microphone jack, top mic, dock connector port, bottom microphone and speaker, and both the front and rear facing cameras.

Image making versatility begins with the indie's industry standard 37mm accessory lens mount, but an entirely new and unprecedented level of creative control is now available thanks to the indie's first in category channels for 15mm rails or rods. Common in professional film making and popular among HDSLR users, rails provide the means to install matte boxes (and the use of graduated filters), shoulder mounts, custom handle rigs, flags, ring lights and so much more.
All this versatility is in addition to the cold shoe mount centered directly above the lens and eight (8) industry standard 1/4-20 threads arrayed over the top, down the left side and across the bottom of each indie. From on-camera lighting to external microphones and audio recorders, this is truly a new era in creative options and control for cell phone cinema and iPhoneography.
