Al giorno d?oggi sempre pi? fotografi professionisti utilizzano il cellulare per scattare foto e girare video, vista la sempre maggiore qualit? delle immagini catturate dai telefoni cellulari di ultima generazione. Tuttavia I telefoni cellulari nonostante la qualit? della fotocamera sia sempre maggiore, rimane pi? difficile e scomodo da utilizzare rispetto ad una fotocamera da parte di un professionista. Ad esempio durante il giorno, in presenza di forte luce solare ? sempre pi? difficile fare inquadrature ottimali guardando lo schermo del telefono cellulare, molte fotocamere professionali ad esempio quelle di tipo mirrorless sono dotate infatti di un mirino elettronico. Risulta quindi necessario avvalersi di un mirino al quale si pu? avvicinare l?occhio e vedere l?immagine senza il fastidio della luce solare, inoltre per un utilizzo prolungato e professionale ? fondamentale avere un grip ergonomico per evitare crampi e danni alle mani. Nowadays more and more Professional photographers use cell phones to take photos and shoot videos, given the ever-increasing quality? of images captured by latest generation mobile phones. However, mobile phones despite the quality? of the camera is always greater, remains more? difficult and uncomfortable to use compared to a camera by a professional. For example during the day, in the presence of strong sunlight? more and more It is difficult to take optimal shots while looking at the mobile phone screen; many professional cameras, such as mirrorless ones, are in fact equipped with an electronic viewfinder. It is therefore necessary to use a viewfinder which you can use? bring your eye closer and see the image without the hassle of sunlight, also for prolonged and professional use? It is essential to have an ergonomic grip to avoid cramps and damage to the hands.

Esistono diversi mirini ottici ed elettronici per telefoni cellulari: il brevetto AU2015100689A4 mostra un mirino analogico per telefoni cellulari con fotocamera, tuttavia il mirino copre parzialmente lo schermo del telefono, e ha bisogno di un?applicazione dedicata al suo utilizzo, inoltre il mirino ? fisso ed adatto solamente ad un utilizzo frontale del telefono, non ? adatto quindi a scattare foto da una posizione ribassata. Il brevetto JP2013175971A rappresenta un mirino elettronico per cellulare tuttavia non ha un grip dedicato ed anche in questo caso ? adatto solamente ad un utilizzo frontale del telefono. Per ovviare a tali inconvenienti ed ottenere altri ed ulteriori vantaggi, la Richiedente ha studiato e realizzato il presente trovato. There are several optical and electronic viewfinders for mobile phones: the patent AU2015100689A4 shows an analogue viewfinder for camera mobile phones, however the viewfinder partially covers the phone's screen, and needs an application dedicated to its use, furthermore the viewfinder is ? fixed and only suitable for frontal use of the phone, isn't it? therefore suitable for taking photos from a low position. The JP2013175971A patent represents an electronic viewfinder for mobile phones however it does not have a dedicated grip and even in this case? suitable only for frontal use of the phone. To overcome these drawbacks and obtain other and further advantages, the Applicant has studied and implemented the present invention.
