My First #SXSW

by Amani Channel

I’m headed to Austin Texas for the South by Southwest Interactive Conference. I’ll be video taping and sharing most of my trip but I’ve decided that I don’t need my big cameras or gear.

I’m confident that my iPhone will get the job done. I’ve been testing out the Owle Bubo, which is a nifty contraption that enhances the video and audio capabilities of the iPhone.

The kind folks at Owle sent me one to test. I’m loving it so far. The case is nice and sturdy and the unit comes with 37mm wide angle lens and an external mic that plugs into the headphone jack.

If I have room in my bags, I’ll also bring my tripod which will attach to the Owle case. I’ll share some pics and more video later. I’ve gotta finish packing and pick up my office. Then I’ll be on a 10am flight to Austin.

This trip is actually sponsored by the Open Video Alliance. I’m looking forward to my first SXSW experience.
