The Alice: Camera in the Front, Your Smartphone in the Back
This has been tried a few times before (never commercially successfully) most notably the Sony QX-mount lens "cameras" that clip to a phone, and some of the earlier Samsung experiments. One of the QX models had an E-mount so you could connect actual Sony Alpha lenses to it.
Motorola did this with Hasselblad, too. It's a cool idea but it never catches on.
Olympus did this awhile back. It never caught on.
Markus Wierzoch and Artefact demo'd this prototype at CES like ten years ago.
am i missing something here ? you're still taking a dslr body and a detachable lens out the door with you .... and the last time i looked, any DSLR born after about 2012 had an EVF on the back. so why would you go this trouble when you can just shoot with a simple DSLR ?
