Hand Held Hollywood will be joining in the fun at the 11th Annual San Francisco SuperMeet being held this Friday, Jan 27th, at the Mission Bay Conference Center.  Does that date sound familiar?  It should!  It’s taking place during this year’s MacWorld | iWorld!  So, if you’re already going to be in town for MacWorld | iWorld (or if you’re near the San Francisco area), you should defiantly come check out the SuperMeet!

The doors to the vendor area open at 3pm, and the main event starts at 7pm.  This year, they’ve got some great presentations lined up from Adobe, Matrox, Canon, DigitalFilm Tree, Philip Hodgetts, and more!  We’ll be in the vendor area (with our friends from Doddle), talking about mobile filmmaking awesomeness.

The main event usually runs a few hours, and there’s an INSANE raffle at the end (thousands to dollars worth of prizes). If you’ve never been to a SuperMeet before, make sure to visit their site.  They’ve got a full agenda, and advance ticket sales.

See you there!

It looks PalmSounds, one of our favorite iThing blogs, is closing its doors. The site has been devoted to mobile audio and music apps since it launched five and a half years ago, but in an open letter published on Monday, the site’s founder, Ashley Elsdon, announced that Palm Sounds would no longer be posting new articles… at least for the time being.

AppAdvice.com has just posted a preview of the new DiffCase for iPhone.  It appears to be a new entrant into the iPhone tripod mount category. While there are plenty of other gizmo’s of this sort, the DiffCase has the added convince of a sunshield. That may not seem like much, but it’s something I’ve sorely needed when shooting on sunny locations.

The case also features kickstands for tabletop viewing in both portrait and landscape orientations.  There’s also a key-ring hole in the case that’s useful for attaching the case to other things.  The DiffCase website suggests using a carabiner to attach it your handbag or backpack, but I see this as a useful option for connecting a safety line to your tripod (or monopod) — just in case the case comes loose.

The DiffCase is now available for pre-order at a discounted price of $30.

I thought we’d kick off 2012 with a new app that truly demonstrates the power of the iPhone — which is ultimately a tiny computer with a camera.

V.I.K.T.O.R. is an impressive little app that will automatically edit video you’ve previously shot and stored in your iPhone’s camera roll.  The app can pick the clips randomly, or you can take control and pick the clips yourself.  The app uses themes to construct your footage into fun montages complete with cute soundtracks, tight editing, and visual punch.  Users can control the duration, custom titles, and color effects.  After the edit is complete, the app can share the moves via YouTube, Facebook, and email.
