Pictar Pro Kickstarter looks to bring DSLR features, functionality to your iPhone or Android smartphone’s camera

In what might be one of the cooler Kickstarter campaigns out there, the Pictar Pro camera system essentially turns your iPhone or Android phone into a DSLR camera. The accessories add the weight, feel, and options that you find with a DSLR camera, the Pictar Pro allowing users to download the iOS or Android app, snap their smartphone into the casing, have the devices automatically pair and have the camera ready to go.
The kit offers a finer set of tools and more precise set of readily accessible controls. Features set as a better exposure control and zoom via the buttons are now available and some nice add ons such as a viewfinder help out as well.

The Pictar app detects which smartphone the Pictar itself has been paired with, then sees which phone and camera abilities are available.
In short, this returns all the nifty buttons, wheels, and controls of a classic camera to your smartphone and looks pretty interesting. The company has already brought several camera-based products to market and is looking for another success via this effort.
Take a gander, see what you think, and let us know about your smartphone camera experiences in the comments.
