Mobi EyeFi SD card

Send your travel photos as soon as they are snapped. This SD card allows your camera to send images to your smartphone via WiFi.

Underwater action camera

There is no doubt that you can use your Apple phone for underwater photography after covering it with a waterproof mobile case. Unfortunately, this safety cover fails to work in depths in excess of six meters. Instead of worrying, grab a 4K Underwater action camera. Thanks to its 16MP sensor, it can take sharp underwater photographs and 4K quality videos (30 frames per second) up to a depth of 30 meters. It boasts of WiFi features too. This means that you can transfer the scintillating underwater photographs or videos to your smartphone and use the latter to post them on photo/ video hosting sites so that you can share them with your family and friends.
