Godox Unveils Magnetically Attachable Xenon Flash for iPhone Smartphones
Photography equipment maker Godox has developed a xenon flash that attaches to Apple iPhones with a magnet. The device targets one of smartphones' biggest photography weaknesses: a weak flash.
Godox, a company that makes photography equipment, has created a xenon flash that can be attached magnetically to Apple iPhone smartphones. With this accessory, the company aims to address a long-standing problem in smartphone photography: the built-in flash is far weaker than the one on cameras.
Why the flash is a weak point for phones
Smartphones usually rely on modest LED lights. Some compact cameras and classic cameras often have a much more powerful xenon flash. It can supply enough light even in bright daylight to fill in shadows. This gives the image a noticeably different look.
Godox's attempt to change this
With the new accessory, Godox is trying to narrow that gap and offer iPhone users the capabilities of a xenon flash. The source text is truncated at this point, so the device's full specifications, price and release date are not known.
