Recently, Team iblazr, a team of independent developers have recently come up in Ukraine, developed the world's first fully synchronized LED flash for smart phones and tablets. According to the developers, this tiny device comprises of four high-end American CREE LEDs to produce uncompromised lighting, and it can be easily attached to any Smartphone or tablet with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The iblazr flash does not require purchasing a battery, as it is equipped with a built-in battery to prevent drainage of power from Smartphone. The company says that a single charge will guarantee 1000 flashes, but it could go on beyond that. There will be a "constant light mode", meaning that users will be able to use it as a flashlight for up to 40 minutes. The flash will be easily rechargeable through a USB cable provided in the package.
The iblazr team has also developed a free iOS and Android app to maximize the benefits of the flash. This app can help users to adjust the brightness of light and synchronize the iblazr with the camera shutter of the Smartphone or tablet. The iblazr can also be a source of continuous light for video shooting or the macro shots. It is also efficient as a backlight for the keyboard, reading light, or just as a flashlight.
After prototype design and fine tuning for almost a year, iblazr is presently available on Kickstarter for pre-order. It is available in Black and white versions, sold for at least $ 39. If you think that the plastic is not elegant, you can also choose "constant light mode" anodized aluminum iblazr.
