This is such a good idea I wonder why it has not been thought of before. There are several inexpensive flash units out there that can be slaved for this kind of thing. The hardest part is getting 360° coverage

Cool paparazzi idea though ^^

This is an excellent idea. I always thought that the paparazzi should be made illegal, or at least severely restricted and regulated. I never understood how the government essentially takes away the private rights of celebrities by not protecting them. It's not legal for some stranger to follow US around or stand outside OUR homes with a camera, is it? So why doesn't the law protect the famous just the same? Using the excuse that gaining fame means you've "sold your soul" to the public eye in order to justify the paparazzi seems immature and cruel. It's almost as if fame is equated with shame, and so the "guilty famous" must pay the price of losing their privacy in exchange for their popularity.
But whatever..... who lives in a perfect world, heh?

Well except for the fact that it is legal to stand outside your house with a camera as long as they don't set foot on private property.

BTW.....nice shirt....

All this will do is lead to paparazzi using fast lenses and high ISO to take available light photos of celebs, instead. Which is awesome.

'Cause celebrities just hate publicity....yeah, guessing there won't be much of a market for this.

Search Kipkay on youtube, he has something similar to this.

All it contains is a 'slave strobe'. Professional photographers use them when they need more light than a single strobe will produce. This is also why professional photographers despise amateurs with cameras because that cheap kodak flash will set off their slave strobes, overexposing the amateur photo, and making the pro wait until the capacitors recharge... it is funny to watch, though

I hate those camera weilding idiots. Makes me want to pack a shotgun or a can of pepper spray.

Yeah its their living, but if stocking somebody for that perfect photo that in my mind might as well be black mail.

i don't think it will work. there'll be a dozen paps flashing away. the bag can only recharge so fast.

It's been done before. OLD!!

This reminds me of that Star Trek episode where Captain Kirk tries to outsmart that Romulan captain who has the snazzy new cloaking device. Cool.

Why isn't there one for guys (ie. a wallet)?

Something better is already out their actually multiple things ranging from face blocking using a single infrared led anyone who knows what an led is knows hoe easy it is to power one and that's all it takes one under the bill of a hat on a tie in sunglasses its endless and will mess up even non flash devices (actually something you can do to avoid being captured on a security camera....) all you need is one infrared led and a battery then place it strategically and your face is a blur in any type of camera although IDK how well it works with film but digital its easy. Check out this link for a fun way to use leds and how you can make a single anti paparazzi device smaller than the size of a quarter. http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Throwies/

now on the other hand they have developed virtually photo shields using lasers which have been installed on yachts to make a private oasis for celebs (we all know the nude tanning takes place mostly on yachts LOL)
