In fact, my first efforts at redirecting the pop-up flash were with tin foil! My frustrations with keeping the foil in place are what led me to develop an actual device. The frustrations that further followed for such a simple-looking solution are innumerable, but the final product(s) will work well. Among the challenges is the fact that the hot shoe on the Nikon, Rebel and EOS are all different. It was impossible to design a universal foot! Anyway, I'm awaiting our first manufactured samples this week and hope to have products in stock by mid- to late May. The website is nearing completion as well. It's been a three-year process! Thanks again for taking note. -- Ken Kobré Thanks for the mention of the Lightscoop. In fact, my first efforts at redirecting the pop-up flash were with tin foil!
