Rogue Safari Pop-Up Flash Booster
Designed for use with most modern Canon APS-C or Nikon DX sensor cameras with telephoto zoom lenses (100mm and longer), the Rogue Safari Pop-Up Flash Booster is lightweight and easy to use. This attachment concentrates the light from the camera’s pop-up flash to provide more illumination on subjects as far as 60 to 70 feet away. The light adds up to 8x more than what the unassisted flash provides. Crafted from durable impact-resistant polycarbonate materials, the Rogue Safari Pop-Up Flash Booster does not require batteries and has a retail price of $34.95.

Correction
In Jack Neubart’s article “Thanks for the Memory” featured in our October, 2013, issue, we inadvertently mislabeled a photo from Buffalo Technology. We labeled the photo as the Buffalo DriveStation DDR External Hard Drive when it should have been the Buffalo LinkStation 421e. Our apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
