With this funny name, two engineers from Los Angeles we have this strange iPhone accessory that mimics the old Graflex flash units. For those who do not know their history, these flashes became an icon of the first half of the twentieth century , when they were part of the cameras used for the first paparazzi.
On this occasion, although tries to mimic the vintage look of those devices, the Paparazzo Light is designed with the latest technology LED , providing a brightness of 300 lumens with a small dedicated battery. Its power is adjustable. If you want to take pictures, it behaves like a flash, but if you want to record video is capable of providing continuous light.
The unit connects via the standard port of the device and also has a tripod mount.
I guess this aesthetic attraction, together with some applications that turn any mobile user in potential "improvised reporter," the real reporters have to learn to break through the hordes of fans who crowd together with the phone in front of any news.
