Es wird durch 3 AAA Batterien angetrieben, die in einem Batteriesatz, der zur Stativeinfassung auf der Kamera angebracht werden kann oder zu einem tatsächlichen Stativ untergebracht werden. Der Ring selbst verbindet an den Batteriesatz mit einem 12cm flexiblen Arm und bildet es kompatibel mit fast jeder möglicher P&S Kamerakonfiguration.

I haven’t gotten around to finding the perfect macro lens for my Nikon D70 as of yet, so I mostly rely on a Nikon point & shoot digital camera when I’m taking close-up product shots for reviews. When combined with a bit of Photoshopping the shots turn out great, but this LED macro ring for compact cameras would make my life a bit easier. Instead of relying on a flash that’s offset to one side of the camera, the ring of 8 LEDs surrounds the lens, providing even illumination from every side.

It’s powered by 3 AAA batteries which are housed in a battery pack that can be attached to the tripod mount on the camera, or to an actual tripod. The ring itself connects to the battery pack with a 12cm flexible arm, making it compatible with almost any P&S camera configuration. The LEDs have two levels of intensity you can select, depending on how much ambient light there is, and includes a carrying case to keep it safe during transport.

You can find it at EnjoyYourCamera.com for about $126.
