iBlazr 2 promises to be the LED flash you’ve been waiting for
Wireless flash promises to work with native camera apps
Camera attachments are old hat as phone accessories these days, but the iBlazr 2 has promise.
This wireless flash attachment for iOS and Android phones has a 25m range, while letting you adjust colour temperature in the range of 3200K to 5600K. It uses not one but four LED bulbss for a pretty bright (around 300 lux) flash. Not bad for a tiny attachment.
While the original iBlazr hooked up via a phone’s headphone jack, the iBlazr 2 uses low energy Bluetooth to connect wirelessly, which means you can easily use it “off-camera” or even connect more than one iBlazr 2 to your phone for more lighting options.
What it also crams into its tiny frame is a 130mAh battery, which comes with a flexible charger and claims to provide at least 300 flashes (or three hours of continuous lighting) per charge.
The iBlazr 2 is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, but its campaign is already fully funded so you can grab one for US$45. It comes in three colours: black, pearl grey and white.
