Although the iPhone is positioned as a universal tool, the designers and constructors of the "apple" smartphone are limited by rigid frames. The former are not allowed to fill the entire gloss of the case surface with technological holes, the latter are constrained by the size of the gadget and the battery life.

As a result, the standard dual LED flash in the latest model resembles a bright spotlight. A great way to disperse darkness, and rather bad for correctly illuminating the subject in color. Startup Ember offers an alternative solution based on a removable LED flash for iPhone, copied from professional accessories for photographers. A complex of 56 individual LEDs creates a somewhat diffused, soft light - no overexposure, excessively contrasting shadows and areas of the skin bleached by bright rays. The system can and should be tuned by applying light filters, adjusting the brightness of individual rows of fixtures and adjusting the exposure time. But if you are lazy, have no time, or simply lack the necessary skills, you can take pictures in the default mode.

In any case, the result will be an order of magnitude more beautiful and attractive than with a standard flash. This is not a reproach from Apple, but a statement of fact - you cannot make a universal and excellent smartphone in everything, but you can provide it with accessories for specific purposes. In the case of Ember, this is to create intelligent lighting in any situation, so the module is removable. The flash can be placed near the subject, illuminated from any angle, photographed at a distance, etc. There is no direct connection to the iPhone, the smartphone is in one hand, the flash is in the other - this is how the best night selfi are created.

In extreme cases, there will be a self-powered flashlight at hand, which can scare away nightmares. The brightness is 10 times that of the flash of the iPhone itself, 4 hours of continuous light is quite good. In addition, the Ember body is equipped with a mount system for mounting on a tripod, connecting additional lenses to a smartphone camera, etc. The downside is, perhaps, only in the financial issue - at the moment less than half of the required $ 30,000 has been collected on the KickStarter platform. If the money can be found, the Ember flash will sell for $ 59 per copy or a bonus kit for $ 99, which includes a set of filters, a tripod, an additional charger and many other little things.
