Camera in Miami-CSI

What is that rectangular thing mounted on the lens of the 'forensic'
camera shown on the Miami-CSI show?

Hi,

What is that rectangular thing mounted on the lens of the 'forensic'
camera shown on the Miami-CSI show?

I don't watch Miami-CSI, but my guess would be that it's a filter
holder for drop-in filters. Something like this
http://www.adorama.com/LHFBD.html for example - is that what it is???

I don't watch it either, but have paused on the show - paused longer on
CSI (Vegas). I believe it is a ring flash used for macro or close up
photography.

Close, but the thing on the show is rectangular, not square, with large
flat surfaces that dont seem to serve any purpose.

Could it be a rectangular lens hood? Like one of these:

More precisely known as Nikon SB-29s macro speedlight flash (now
discontinued and replaced by the newer R1C1 wireless close-up speedlight
system).

But will the new unit make the same cool sound that the old one made when
they snap a photo?

Yep, and they all use the D200 (CSI Miami, New York and Las Vegas as well
as NCIS)with the software that allows for confirmation that a file has not
been manipulated. this is essential for a picture/files efficacy in a trial
as evidence. Nikon is one up on this feature.....

You can find camera shops that sell both Nikon and Canon law enforcement
camera packages. Here is the flier for the packages that Pro Photo
Supply in Portland, OR offers.
