SureFire, LLC known for their world-class lights, suppressors, and various accessories, has announced the release of their latest lighting product, the FirePak. The FirePak is designed to pair with one’s cell phone and provide illumination to “…shoot vibrant, high-definition video with your smart phone in low-light situations, something never before possible.”
For those who are major fans of their tactical lights, the FirePak is a bit of a departure. Instead of a tube, the FirePak is shaped similar to a mobile phone. In fact, the FirePak can directly attach to the cell phone via SureFire’s various cell phone cases for the iPhone 6/6s and Galaxy S5. (SureFire will need to update their cases, we’re already on the iPhone 7 and Galaxy 7 series).
The FirePak uses two LED lights to create an effective 16:9 illumination area (convenient for those cell phones which typically record in 16:9. The LEDs can output up to 1500 lumens and are fully adjustable across four output levels which are manually selected on the side of the FirePak or via Bluetooth through a downloadable app.
The FirePak is set a $299 retail, which means it will likely appeal only to mobile phone video enthusiasts. Compatible phone cases are $29.99.
