The DxO One gets Wi-Fi control and a suite of accessories

Protect your camera with a waterproof case, keep steady with a stand, and remote access via Wi-Fi.

If you take a lot of photos with your smartphone, you've probably noticed they're not always up to snuff with the kind of images you'd see from a DSLR camera.

Unfortunately, there aren't many options out there to improve your iPhone's camera either unless you go for post-processing apps. Luckily, there's the DxO One, meant to do just that, including a Lightning connector and an image sensor that's meant to improve the way you shoot photos with your phone.

But any good camera needs accessories, and the DxO's getting a new suite of accessories including a special shell for waterproofing, weatherproofing and keeping the One itself safe from the elements while you take it on the go. There's also a stand, Wi-Fi remote control, and an optical adapter for you to attach new filters over the One's lens.

In a pretty exciting turn of events, you can use the Wi-Fi remote to aconnect to locate networks or your iPhone directly even when not in range of networks, which makes it a pretty nifty little device, and it's coming to all DxO One camera owners with the 2.0 software update in September.

The September update also includes a slew of other options like Mobile Smart Lighting, improved power consumption, and a new autofocus mode in addition to a white balance setting meant for shooting photos underwater.

You can pick up the outdoor case for $49 and the filter adapter for $25, with the stand going for $20. It's a decent camera. You'll probably want to try and keep it protected.
