Photographers who enjoy their music on-the-go might want to add this interesting camera novelty item to their collection.
Designed to look like Nikon's 55-200mm telephoto kit lens, this device is actually a portable speaker. Instead of the typical glass optical elements, the gadget sports a speaker driver. It is also capable of playing music from various audio sources such as smartphones, computers and other devices with a 3.5mm stereo minijack.
Apart from control buttons on the barrel to pause, skip and stop audio tracks, the speaker also comes equipped with an inbuilt lithium battery, a USB port (for line-in and charging) and a microSD card slot. The rechargeable battery is rated to last up to 4 hours for music playback.
The Lens Speaker is easily found on eBay at prices ranging from US$19 to US$38.99, and will be bundled with a stereo minijack/USB cable and an instruction manual.
