Pocket Spotlight by Photojojo

Do you have a photo enthusiast on your hands?

Then you have surely heard him complain about the weak flash on his cell phone. Or how about the heavy external flash on his DSLR? Here is a perfect solution that will get him excited: a portable pocket spotlight that can be attached onto a cell phone or a camera or used externally for continuous source of light, so even the low light videos are going to look amazing.

The Pocket Spotlight can be flipped both ways, for rear facing cameras and self-portraits. It charges with a standard cord (included) and shines bright for up to an hour on a single charge.
It’s like a photographer’s dream: small and powerful softbox for any lighting condition. The spotlight can be used in various situations, even externally and can produce striking creative images depending on what position you place it in. You can create shadows, silhouettes or simply well lit natural looking photos depending on where the Spotlight is at.

As an example, we shot a photo of how bright and even the Pocket Spotlight is. The portrait in the bottom left corner is shot with an iPhone 5 and the spotlight illuminating the face. Simply brilliant!

In the app you can view a 3D animation and video recording of your swing and an in-depth instructor-style analysis.

SwingTIP is the most advanced (and easy-to-use) mobile golf swing training device on the market today! Clip it to the shaft of your club, open up the SwingTIP app on your mobile device, and take a swing. You can also take a video of your swing from within the app for an even deeper analysis! Then, it’s time to analyze:

• Compare your swing path from multiple angles
• See your club head speed at impact
• See where you hit the ball on the club face – did you hit the sweet spot?
• Check the face angle of your club (open, closed, or square)
• Over time you can see the consistency of your swing tempo (average and variance)
