When you're at a concert or a big sporting event and you want to record what's going on, using your smartphone can only get you so much detail. If you're stuck all the way in the back of the audience or stranded in nosebleed seats, you can forget about getting decent video even if you zoom in all the way. Luckily, these binoculars on Kickstarter are looking to change the way you experience your favorite moments.

eyeQ is a brand new gadget for your smartphone that makes the fancy zooming and enhancing you see in the movies an actual thing now. Slip your phone inside, and you get a way more detailed view of what you're watching with an HD view and 16x zoom. Instead of capturing blurry and pixelated photos and video with your phone from far away, eyeQ claims to make your view as vivid as if you were right there.

Check out this video that was, as the eyeQ team puts it, "experienced and captured with an eyeQ":

The binocular view also features a handy touchscreen interface to tweak your photos and videos. You can take photos and record video as simply as if you were using your phone normally, toggle various camera settings for the perfect shot, or even upload or stream directly to Facebook.

Visit the eyeQ Kickstarter page to learn more and show your support.
