Belkin's Live Action camera accessories should be in the middle of your picture, lyin' in the reeds
Belkin is making it easier for you to turn your iPhone into a real camera. The LiveAction Camera Grip is made of rich corinthian leather soft touch plastic and connects to your iPhone 4, 4S or iPod touch via the dock port. It sits on the heel of the phone with separate shutter release and video / stills buttons for easy snapping. On the bottom is a standard size tripod mount for when you need a mechanically steady hand. At the same time, you can grab the LiveAction remote -- a Bluetooth control that can shoot pictures from up to 30m, saving you the ten-second-timer-dash. If the surface won't hold your phone neatly, you also get a detachable prop. Undecided buyers should check out the press release after the break; those who believe in love at first sight just need to know both are available from mid December and will set you back $50 each.

Belkin Liveaction Camera Accessories and App Instantly Capture and Share Content
(Playa Vista, CA) – November 9, 2011 – Belkin provides consumers with the capability to instantly capture and share life's most spontaneous moments with the newly announced LiveAction Camera accessories for the iPhone and iPod touch. Experience a better way to snap photos and record video with products including the LiveAction Camera Grip and LiveAction Camera Remote. Immediately share this digital content with the new LiveAction App. "With upgraded cameras, new phones like the iPhone 4S take great pictures and are beginning to replace traditional cameras because they provide instant gratification-the ability to shoot and share via social media instantly," said Jamie Elgie, senior director of Belkin's mobility division. "Our new LiveAction Camera App and products enable that spontaneity, but also provide an enhanced camera experience that feels more like that of a traditional point-and-shoot camera. It's the best of both worlds."
The free LiveAction App features an intuitive on-screen interface to upload high-quality photos and videos directly onto Facebook or into an email without having to open another program. The app also allows you to capture still photos while simultaneously recording video of the same content so you don't miss a single moment. Separate photo and video buttons make it easy to switch modes right on screen. In addition to working in conjunction with Belkin's LiveAction Camera products, the LiveAction App can also be used alone as the primary camera app for the iPhone and iPod touch.
