High Dynamic Range photography and HD video has made the iPhone 4 more than just another camera phone, but for many the lack of a tripod mount has kept it from becoming a primary image capture device. That, at least, was the thought behind the development of Glif.The Glif is a small iPhone 4 accessory that works as a tripod for camera functions and as a stand for comfortable device viewing. As a stand, it simply clasps onto your iPhone 4 and keeps it propped at a reasonable angle. For the camera, the Glif has a threaded nut for attaching a tripod.Its a simple but effective design that is made more impressive by the fact that its generated almost $50,000 from Kickstarter in less than 48 hours. A donation of $20 will secure your Glif as soon as its manufactured.Glif in action:More About: cameras, Glift, hd video, hdr, iphone 4, TripodFor more Mobile coverage:Follow Mashable Mobile on TwitterBecome a Fan on FacebookSubscribe to the Mobile channelDownload our free apps for iPhone and iPad

James Cameron wants to travel 6.8 miles beneath the surface of the ocean to shoot footage for the Avatar sequel and win a $10 million X-Prize at the same time.The X-Prize is an award given to pioneers in privately funded science and exploration. It was previously given to the first team to build a privately funded, manned spacecraft and launch it out of Earths atmosphere. Now its going to the first private crew to make two manned dives to Challenger Deep, the deepest surveyed point in all of Earths oceans.Winning the X-Prize will just be a bonus for Cameron in his quest to the bottom of the sea; The Daily Mail reports that the sequel to Avatar will be set in the oceans of Pandora, the planet portrayed in the first film, and Cameron will shoot some scenes with the submarine hes building in 3D of course.Few filmmakers can pitch something like that to their financiers with a straight face, but Avatar was the most successful film ever, raking in nearly two billion dollars at the box office, so Cameron is among those filmmakers. He might even be the only member of that club.Cameron is no stranger to deep sea exploration. He shot the deep sea acclaimed documentaries Ghosts of the Abyss and Aliens of the Deep.No one has visited Challenger Deep since explorers Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh made the journey half a century ago. The X-Prize was announced to commemorate their voyage.Reviews: PandoraMore About: 3D, avatar, avatar 2, challenger deep, exploration, Film, james cameron, Movies, ocean, submarine, trieste, x-prizeFor more Entertainment coverage:Follow Mashable Entertainment on TwitterBecome a Fan on FacebookSubscribe to the Entertainment channelDownload our free apps for iPhone and iPad
