Now available, the XD5 fits the iPhone 5 like a glove
for unparalleled protection against water and shocks
Marin, CA - February
27, 2013 - Optrix,
designer of ultra-rugged action video and sports specialty housings for the
iPhone, announces the availability of Optrix XD5,
the first ultra-rugged, camera optimizing system for iPhone 5 that enables
users to record wide-angle HD videos under the most punishing conditions.
Optrix XD5 system incorporates features from its award-winning XD4 product,
including the 175 degree lens that enhances the iPhone 5's 1080p HD optics
and the clear protective membrane that enables users to continue using
their iPhone while in the housing. It enhances the previous design
with a thinner, lighter and stronger unibody, and a new rail mounting
system for quick on-off for helmets, chest mounts, water sport mounts,
handle mounts, and more.
"Optrix is proud to unveil the world's toughest case that disaster proofs
the iPhone 5," said John Willenborg, founder of Optrix. "The XD5 is
the only iPhone 5 camera system built for sports enthusiasts by sports
enthusiasts."
Designed using the same concept as a Formula 1 race car, the XD5 utilizes a
"monocoque" protective unibody system that encapsulates the iPhone 5,
shielding it from pressure and making it drop safe from up to 40ft.
In addition, the XD5's enhanced design utilizes a unique waterproofing seal
that guarantees waterproof ability up to a depth of 15ft.
"Many action sports camera
systems exist in the market, but only the XD5 takes into account real life
video capturing needs," added Willenborg. "The ability to easily
adjust shooting angles, access to all controls and its compatibility with
multiple mounting options solidifies the XD5 as the ideal action camera
system for the iPhone 5."
The XD5 also incorporates a second door to access charging connectors,
headphone jack and microphone, making it the ideal option as an everyday
rugged case. For iPhone 5 users wishing to enhance their videos,
Optrix provides a suite of cutting-edge video recording and editing
software and apps, including VideoPro, which adds full telemetry data such
as speed, G-force, lap time and track map onto the video.
Optrix XD5 action video making system can be found at select Apple, Best
Buy and Target stores; and online at Apple.com, Bestbuy.com and www.optrix.com.
