Luminous Landscape reviews the DxO One camera…and kills it right at the start!

A short video showing the issues we found during our review

Make no mistake, the DxO One camera is a great camera! But it has one very big flaw that makes it pretty much unusable. Our colleges over at Luminous Landscape described it well:

During my last week of testing, my iPhone fell off the DxO unit twice. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention this. Once it fell onto a concrete floor. Not cool. The problem is the iPhone 6 Plus is a heavy phone and all that is holding it to the DxO One is a lightning connector. While holding the iPhone, the DxO One seems to be connected well. But hold the DxO unit alone and the Phone’s weight immediately begins to start pulling on the connector. A few good shakes and the camera becomes disconnected. (see video at the end of this article) Not acceptable.

I still think DxO made a step into the right direction with their product. It looks much better than the Sony QX solution. Now they just have to find a way to “secure” the device on the iPhone in a much safer way!

P.S.: If you can read french there is also a full test at Focus Numerique!
