Skateboarding videos have been around for decades, but shooting the action typically requires a professional videographer who also knows how to skate. Often the hardcore shredding can also be hazardous to the one taking the videos. This risk inspired the name along with the fact a it’s known as a super wide angle in skating and purpose of one of today's handiest innovations, the Death Lens.

Indeed, death-defying tricks are difficult and risky to both skater and filmer that hideous slams are common especially in the past decades. Large, handheld video cameras were used to capture these feats, so carrying and controlling such devices were already a challenge on their own. With the introduction of the Death Lens, taking videos of awesome skating tricks is not as difficult and more fun for everyone involved as well as being a whole lot nicer on the wallet than shelling out for a top end camera.

The company behind this innovative lens and its accompanying app is Australia-based PHOKUS Pty. Ltd. Incorporated in 2015, PHOKUS are registered as a private company located in Western Australia. Their team riders are comprised of skateboarders Andrew Reynolds, Beagle, Boo Johnson, Bryan Herman, Chris Joslin, Cyril Jackson, Dane Vaughn, Daniel Lutheran, Dee Ostrander, Don Nguyen, Kevin Roar, Lizard King, Neem Williams, Pat Romney, Thetis Beasley, and snowboarders Chris Bradshaw, Chris Greiner, E Man, Jed Anderson, Joe Sexton, Justin Cronies, Nick Dirks and Scott Stevens.

Mobile Innovation That Transformed the World of Skateboarding

If you have been an avid skateboarding fan, you will notice the difference between videos shot with good old video cams versus smartphones with Death Lens. The digital innovation already in place via smartphone allows the lens and its app to seamlessly integrate and produce crisp and clear imagery.

• captures the widest field of view in three styles - 1:1 square frame, 4:3 classic, and 16:9 HD
• provides simplified and enhanced functions such as:
• shoot smooth footages
• with VX filter which saves 4:3 and 16:9 clips with a standard viewfinder look that's Instagram-ready
• eliminate the shaky vignette whilst recording with your smartphone with the lens case attached
• high frame rate recording (120FPS for 5S; 240FPS for 6/6S, 6+/6S+ models; and 4k for 6S, 6S+ models)
• use the Insta Ready feature for saving unedited classic and HD recordings into square frame; this feature also enables you to import recordings
• mark your favourite clips and batch delete all unwanted recordings/clips in a single action
