An intriguing gadget that looks like a camera but functions as a lighting tool has emerged.
Hobolite's 'Iris Portable Small LED Light' breaks this norm. It appears as a retro-style compact digital camera but is actually an LED light without photo-taking capabilities. It emits intense light from the lens, designed as a lighting tool for photography.
Light is an indispensable element in photography. Proper lighting enhances the subject and improves the overall quality of the photo. Hobolite's LED light evenly illuminates subjects with its powerful light, reducing shadows to help capture clear photos. This light will also be useful for both interior and outdoor settings.
Camera-like Operation
Hobolite's LED light offers a user experience akin to operating a camera. You can adjust the light intensity by opening and closing it like adjusting a camera lens aperture, and change the light color freely by inserting color filters. Additionally, attaching a dome-shaped lens provides wide-angle lighting, while a crystal-like lens creates sparkling special effects.
You can also adjust the light intensity and color temperature wirelessly using a dedicated smartphone app. It features IP54 water and dust resistance, and the lens can be easily attached and detached magnetically. Its lightweight design allows it to be mounted on the same tripod as a camera. With a full USB-C charge, it can be used continuously for 2 hours, making it suitable for long shoots.
Affordable Price and High Practicality
Hobolite's 'Iris Portable Small LED Light' is offered at an affordable price of $99 (approximately 15,500 yen). You'll be surprised by its practicality after purchasing it for fun. It's recommended for creators and professional photographers as a tool to expand their shooting range.
Although it can't take photos, its powerful lighting capabilities support your photography in any scene. Be sure to try it out and experience its allure.
