Nope, it's just you. Does it have one of those things in it that makes light saber sounds when you swing the camera around? Because boy that would be really cool.. lol

I just ordered a case of 'em! I can't WAIT to take delivery!!!!

WOW.
it connects to the hot shoe. didnt realize the hot shoe mount was designed to hold the weight of a camera and lens.
seems like that is just asking for trouble.
and why the hell would you put a flash on top of the handle?!?

Are you kidding me? THIS is JUST like wearing your pants hanging down around your a$$, with your drawers hanging out!

This is like wearing a backwards baseball cap!

This is like putting TWO playing cards, both of them face cards, a king AND a queen, in the spokes of your bike!

C'mon, this thaaanng is the shiizz-nit!! Get wi' it, playa!

Is there a Darwin Award for inventors???

I think the Darwin award should go to the buyer; the inventor is the smart one, he's found a way to turn <$1.00 of 6061 into $19.00!

I'm assuming you guys are talking about that new john deer riding mower model.

 

[minicoop1985]

Yeah, I don't see what could possibly go wrong. I mean mounting that speedlight on top of the metal handle that's probably making contact with your forehead seems like an absolutely fantastic idea. Shock some sense into people....

LOL, never seen anything like it !! Can't imagine a 500 or 800 hanging off it

Danny.

OMG! Nuff said.

It appears to be primarily useful for knee-level photography. So you put it into video mode and walk around holding it very low. Why couldn't you just get some child or chimpanzee to do that for you?

Now Derrel, no need to get personal.

You could get a RF trigger in the shoe, put this device on top, then a radio trigger receiver with the flash on TOP !!
Talk about handy !!

And for those really looking for extra features ... you can get a power inverter to turn the handle into a tazer due to it's all metal construction for those subjects that just are not cooperating !!
