The ability to capture extraordinary photos on smartphones is now easily obtainable and extremely affordable with the help of the brightest new smartphone addition, the Xenon Flash Shell.
After reaching its crowdfunding goal on the first day, backers have now helped double that total
with over $10,000 raised for this portable and lightweight attachable accessory, which delivers professional quality crisp, focused images by attaching it to iPhones and iPads.
“Our success on Kickstarter has happened as quick as a flash and we’re thrilled with the response, but this has been a result of years of hard work, research and development,” said iStabilizer CEO Noah Rasheta. “We are making pro-grade images attainable on phones by combining the convenience of a smartphone camera with a pocket-sized professional flash.”
Without Flash Shell, the low-light photography offered on a smartphone causes significant noise and grain in the photo. LED lighting is simply not strong enough to capture clear photos in low-light conditions. Flash Shell solves this problem:
While an iPhone camera flash is an LED, Flash Shell is Xenon, which produces a flash as much as one thousand times brighter than a standard camera phone LED flash. Kickstarter backers can get the Flash Shell starting at $55 and they can add accessories that include a SmartFlex Tripod, a Bluetooth Shutter Remote, and a Mini Standard Tripod.
Flash Shell is compatible with virtually all iPhones and iPads and it pairs to devices via Bluetooth. Parent company iStabilizer is in the process of developing the technology for Android as well and anticipates first quarter 2017 availability.
For early bird specials at nearly 50 percent below retail prices that will disappear in a flash, visit the Xenon Flash Campaign Pageon Kickstarter.

Hundreds of people who
bought fire-prone Samsung Galaxy Note 7 filed a class-action lawsuit demanding
compensation. Hours earlier, a South Korean investment advisory firm
recommended shareholders vote against vice-chairman Jay Y Lee joining the
board, in the strongest public
opposition so far to the
heir-apparent’s ascension.
The twin setbacks come
as the phone maker grapples with the most serious crisis in its 47-year
history, the debacle surrounding the global recall of a phone that
has been documented overheating and bursting into flame. That brouhaha has
pierced the company’s aura of invulnerability at home, and could prompt greater
scrutiny of a national champion that once could do no wrong.
After reports of Galaxy
Note 7 smartphones catching fire spread in early September, Samsung Electronics
executives debated how to respond. Some urged that it is rumor to defame the
brand while others thought that the authorities should act decisively.
In New York, a Samsung
Galaxy S7 Edge owner has claimed that the device which he received as a
replacement for the Note 7 exploded while charging.According to the PhoneArena
website, the person went to a popular US wireless carrier’s store with a
damaged Samsung Galaxy S7 edge — the highest-selling device from the South
Korean tech giant. Three US customers from different states — Nevada,
Pennsylvania and California — have already complained about the fire-prone Note
7 devices and may go for a class-action lawsuit against Samsung.
In a setback to Samsung
Electronics on Monday, 527 owners of Galaxy Note 7 smartphone in South Korea
filed a class-action lawsuit against the company for inconvenience experienced
after the discontinuation of the device. According to the Harvest Law Office
here, the plaintiffs filed the case with the Seoul Central District Court,
seeking 500,000 won (US$440) in compensation each, Yonhap news agency reported.
While Samsung stated
that they took the decision to stop sales and shipments of Galaxy Note7
devices from 10th October as part of their commitment to customer safety. They have asked everyone with a Galaxy Note7 to
back up their data (click here for
details of how) and switch off the device.
Samsung assuered
its customers that the Galaxy Note7 is the only device affected.
Battery Software Update
In addition to the
Galaxy Note7 Replacement Programme Samsung will issue new software to all
Galaxy Note7 devices on Monday October 31st that will limit the battery charge
to 60% as an additional safety measure.

Wireless radiation experts at Rf Safe want more research, as the US cell phone industry prepares to evolve into 5G technology.
5G cellular technology will employ much higher frequency microwaves than the current 2G, 3G, and 4G, says global leader in
wireless radiation safety advocacy, RF Safe.
The number of transmitters sending signals to cellphones and a host of new internet-enabled devices, including smart appliances and autonomous vehicles will be dramatically increased by the launch of super-fast 5G.
In August 2016, The
LA Times reported that the U.S. became the first nation to allocate a large swath of airwaves for 5G. Those services could be available to consumers by 2020, offering transmission speeds at least 10 times faster than today’s 4G.
Researchers from the National Toxicology Program released
preliminary data in May that showed small increases in tumors in male rats exposed to cellphone radiation.
“There is a big concern with the previous technology and it’s just being made worse with 5G,” says Kevin Mottus, outreach director for the California Brain Tumor Association.
RF Safe has issued a new warning to consumers that necessary steps should be taken to protect vital organs from excessive microwave radiation exposure as more research is being made public.
Cell phone users should keep the phone away from the head, and take further precautions such as using
radiation shielding accessories, particularly children.
As of August, 2016,The FCC received more than
900 submissions regarding its cell phone radiation regulations.
RF Safe CEO, John Coates says, “These documents reveal why we need to strengthen regulations and provide precautionary warnings to the public, and what we know about wireless radiation health effects.”
RF SAFE is a world-leading provider of cell phone radiation protection accessories and informational safety data. Since 1998, RF (Radio Frequency) Safe has been dedicated to evolving the wireless industries safety standards by engaging in the business of design, testing, manufacture, and sale of safety technologies to mitigate harmful effects of cell phone radiation.
