Boost your camera’s integral flash with this cost-effective slot-in unit

Upgrade your workflow for a smooth and efficient experience with PPS8

The problem with integral flashguns is that they are not very powerful so have limited use. The Rogue Safari Flash Booster claims to focus up to eight times more light from a pop-up unit and give a much greater range. It’s optimised for focal lengths of over 100mm, slots onto the camera’s hotshoe and costs £25. To check whether your DSLR is compatible go to http://bit.ly/18dUm2l.
