iSight Light?

[MacRumors]

An unreleased Griffin Technology product? The iSight Light?

[Pix Removed from Griffin's Pages]

I don't understand. A light that plugs on the end of the iSight? It's not clear from the pictures.

hmm... looks interesting I think this would be very nice, if it is autosensored.

it does appear to slide over the end, probably plugs into firewire for power... i would question how bright such a light can be, without adding to the heat already created by the isight... but it doesn't appear that they're exactly for sale yet, the product page is simply the radioshark page modified for these images. they have not filled in any text yet.

It's a ring-light, for that Helmut Newton look! Now, on to the spiked heels and tall germanic blondes!

Bring it on.

i thought it was photoshoped until i saw the actual griffin site. it could be useful. i dont have an isight, but judging from what ive seen of others, a light would definetly help.

Seems like this is more a confirmed rumor then unconfirmed one since it's actually on their website.

I do remember folks saying they wish the iSight had more help in the lighting dept. and it looks like griffin is answering the call.

I saw the third picture on Spymac yesterday I think. I think it is a Griffin-only thing, not a Belkin-Apple partnership. Knowing Griffin, they might announce it in December, set to ship in late January, pushed back to March. Arrives at your door in April, maybe.

Looks cool regardless.

It will be useful for interrogating subjects via video cam. Yes Boris.

While it seems this is an actual product, I much doubt this is a photograph. It looks similar to the high-quality 3d mockups that Ive's group does. Looks like 3d studio max or similar to me. This probably means the product is still a little ways in the future and only at the advanced design stages for now.

So there goes another firewire or USB port then.... Too bad it couldnt connect some other way. After your iSight, iPod, External Drives, mouse, keyboard, PowerMate and possible PDA (bluetooth), you're going to need more ports. Come on Apple!

Ya know, some things are just worth waiting for... Griffin is a candy company-- and probably the best out there.

And they always seem to price things reasonably-- makes impulse buying so much harder to fight!

Please change this. Thanks.

Obviously its "photoshopped" and not an actual picture but that doesn't make it any less of a possibility. It's pretty common for a company to do mock-up or "photoshopped" product shots prior to the final revision becoming available for product shots. A lot of the time prototypes are very photogenic.

 

[celaurie]

Now that's nifty little gadj.

 

[iLilana]

still think its fake

the link is for the radio shark...when you click the radio shark link again the picture changes.

or its a joke from a griffin employee who frequents macrumors.

 

[NNO-Stephen]

I for one would love one of these things. the power could be taken from a pass through port through the iSight firewire cable cause a while LED wouldn't use too much power... a big LED.

hey, it could work.

anyway, I'd pick one up. looks like it'd be 50 bucks cause when the SHARK thing is clicked on again, the real page for that comes up at 69.99 while the SightLight is 49.99

Anyone else not seeing the "Sight Light," but rather a squirrel that, well, "seems to have suffered a rather serious snake bite"? (To quote Stewie from Family Guy)

I think Arn was right to stick this on Page 2 -- I think we've been had. Regardless, anyone have the original picture handy?

 

[brianwells]

Is there a mirror for the original pictures?

Do any of you have the pictures that were originally posted? Perhaps in your browser cache?

The pictures have been pulled and replaced with some other sort of pictures. Rather unprofessional on Griffin's part - they should have simply pulled the pictures.

Thanks!
