Hasselblad True Zoom MotoMod
The much-rumored Hasselblad MotoMod is
now official and it's called True Zoom. Like all MotoMods, this is an accessory
that snaps onto a Moto Z, Moto Z Force, or Moto Z Play handset through magnets.
Unlike other MotoMods, this one is all about letting you capture stunning
images.
That's because it comes with a dedicated
lens with 10x optical zoom (f/3.5-6.5 aperture), as well as a proper Xenon
flash. There's a dedicated shutter button too, and the design of the Mod will
make your Moto phone look like a standalone digital camera - at least from the
back. RAW image capture is supported, and you also get physical zoom controls.
The Hasselblad True Zoom MotoMod will
become available next month for a recommended retail price of US$ 299 or € 299,
depending on where you live. That said, Verizon will be selling the accessory
for just US$ 249 (and "for a limited time" when you buy a MotoMod you
get 50% off another one). Pre-orders in the US start on September 8, with the
release date being September 15. The exact day could differ in other regions of
course.
If you purchase the True Zoom accessory
you will receive free access to Hasselblad's Phocus software for
"streamlined editing control and the highest quality output". Oh, and
one more thing - free unlimited storage on Google Photos at original quality
for two years.
