Rogue Safari attaches to a DSLR's hot shoe and focuses the light from its pop-up flash to greatly increase the available flash power at extended distances.
At £3.98 this deal is 60% cheaper than anywhere else on Earth! You have to collect it from a Jessops though, otherwise they charge you £3.99 for delivery... which would make it the 2nd cheapest price for this on the planet!
It just clips on to the hot shoe mount of your DSLR and sits in front of your camera's built in flash when it pops up magnifying the flash power without batteries.
These normally sell for an average price of around £17. Amazon and Ebay's lowest price for this product is £10.

Nah, you need. Humour bomb(ed) or an A(hon)K-47 Rifle.

Would be ideal for my daughter doing a level photography but my nearest store is 99.2 miles away

To be fair it probably whilst it might be handy it wouldn't be necessary for an a level student, they need to control off camera light, and work with ambient light.

If the people running the course were to suggest using this item, then the course has been a waste of money.
Anyone knows (or should know) that off camera flash is the correct/best way, not on camera flash.
