Still awaiting those promised samples. Part of the manufacturing/tooling challenge has been that the hot shoes on the different cameras are, well, different. That meant that we had to create three separate Lightscoop models with different feet! We tried for months and paid for numerous prototypes attempting to develop a universal foot, but the results were never satisfactory.

I've had some queries about the 'warming' feature of the Lightscoop. Actually, we've had to make two distinct versions of the Lightscoop to achieve a quality effect — a Standard version and a Warming version. Placing a gel over the light source and then bouncing simply reduced the light output too much. That's why the 'warming' version is a separate Lightscoop with a gold-tinted reflective surface. One Lightscoop will sell for $29.95; purchasing both a Standard and Warming Lightscoop at the same time will cost $49.95.

Here are the different models we developed to accommodate the different hot shoes on the cameras:
