$35 alternative to a speedlight camera flash?
The Gadgeteer —
... Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop is a clever and inexpensive ($35) device that clips on to the hot shoe of your DSLR or SLR camera. It then transforms the light from the pop-up flash into pro-quality light by reflecting the flash’s light to the ceiling, to bounce it back down … [ ...
LightScoop Rescues Horrible Built-In Flashes
Gadget Lab —
... LightScoop does this by putting a shiny mirror-like reflector in front of the flash. It slides into the hotshoe mount, keeping it in place, and you can buy it in both neutral or a slightly warm color.
As ever, these simple accessories are easy to make yourself, but you need to weigh up the convenience of just buying something you know will work. I’m hoping to test one out, but until then you can check out the LightScoop Flickr Group to see what it can do.

I say “something like” because there are alternatives. A piece of paper over the flash, a compact makeup mirror or a purpose built soft-box will all do the trick. But I’m surprised how much I like the Lightscoop, despite its potential to trash my flash. It’s small, easy to use and, most of all, fun. It costs $35 and comes in standard or warm versions. If you buy one, get the standard: you can always throw a warming gel on there.

Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop Review
The Gadgeteer —
... about an accessory for some 35 mm and digital SLR cameras called Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop. The Lightscoop works with cameras that have a pop-up flash, and it is designed to re-direct the harsh, direct light to the ceiling (or to a light-colored wall when the camera is rotated to a vertical position) to wash the entire scene with a softer, more even light. Our Nikon D80 is one of the cameras that the Lightscoop works with. We really like the Nikon, and we’ve taken some great pictures with it – except when a flash is needed. Like all pop-up flashes, the one on the Nikon ...
