Clip on or attachable macro lenses are gaining popularity because of the high quality photographs they produce. However, when exploring what has gathered at an insect light sheet at night, lighting is always an issue. The beam of light from a traditional headlamp is simply not at the correct angle and is blocked by the phone. “The Angler” is a headlamp designed to revolutionize the quality of nighttime macro photography. This product is reminiscent of the bioluminescent lure used by angler fish to attract prey. Like the symbiotic bacteria that aid these fish in producing light, the headlamp enhances user experience with precise lighting control, making it an indispensable tool for fieldwork and research. The flexible gooseneck allows users to direct light precisely onto their subjects as needed. This feature ensures optimal lighting for capturing clear and high-quality photographs regardless of the angle or height of the subject.
