My kids love it...FINALLY something else other than my wife to get my kids attention to the camera. NOW they look right at the camera. Wife and other people ATTEMPTING to help seem to think that standing 5' to the side, clapping hands and making weird noises will get the kids to look at the camera - nope does not.
It is a tad pricey for what it is. My 13 month old has more interactive toys which cost less. But it is a means to an end...getting kids to look at the camera.
Cannot wait till Santa Clause comes to do the REAL test!

Not sure if effective
To be fair, I've used the product only once and it was with an 8 month old. After reacting to the squeak once or twice, she never again looked at the creature.

This isn't a criticism of this particular product - it seems fine. It fit the lens, seems to be made well and generally is solid. But this baby wasn't interested.

Not as great as I thought it would be. For kids under 1, better to get a feather duster, tickle their nose and direct them to the camera… It might be too small for my D800, it looks bigger in the picture here.

Especially my wife loved this product. We are expecting a baby right now and I was looking for a solution to get my girl's attention to the camera. I am sure that this product will do the trick. The squeaker is also a very nice addition. I tried it on my Canon 100mm f2.8L and my Canon 17-40mm L series lenses. Fits perfectly. It can stretch up to 4 inches so it will pose no problems for other lenses also.

This was the perfect gift for my sister in law who is an aspiring amateur photographer. She does a lot of children and animal photos. The product squeaks which was a bonus!

Fits all my lenses perfectly-allows for pop up flash(though I don't use it very often).Small children love it and are far more relaxed and natural in front of it.

I got this to try to get more natural expressions from our young grandchildren. Tried it last weekend. I have a G1 X and the fit was a bit loose so I had to hold it in place but it did grab their attention. I like that it is flat an easily packed in my camera bag and slips onto the camera easily. Cute idea but a little pricey in my opinion.

So far this catches my clients attention quite quickly. I personally love it. The color is bright and vibrant. It's just super cute. There may only be a handful of times that I can use it before the kiddos catch on and become immune BUT those handful of times can get me great shots! Why not??? When do you ever see a ladybug on someone's camera??? Have fun or what's the point!

I love photographing kids. It can be a challenge when they are not happy or just scared of lights. But this owrks great to get there attention and get there eyes away from mom and dads. It's a little more flimsy then i was expecting. But it still worked well. I expected completely solid and instead it's more like a soft stuffed animal. Can even be a great toy for a baby just to hold in its hand.

Works great to get my kids' attention. I use an omd so it practically hides the whole camera - which helps with a 3 year old who has begun to runaway from the camera. I love the squeaker too.

This plush toy did a great job at getting my families attention for holiday photos. It worked on ages from baby to adult. They all loved it and wanted to hear it squeak over an over again. Made them all smile and look. Can't wait to use it for more baby and family sessions next year.
Hey, it's even a great idea for wedding photographers. For the annoying 500 cameras that tend to be snapping and stealing the attention of your subjects. This is definitely something that does the trick to get attention.
I would highly recommend this - it even fit over my 82 mm 24-70 2.8 lens.

I bought this to draw attention of the children at a luncheon with Santa photo shoot. Not only did it help direct the children to look in the direction of the camera, later it helped get the adults attention when I did family photos. The squeaker is a nice feature. If I could make one improvement it would be to make it just a little louder. The ladybug is well made. I may buy the other characters also.

A friend recommended that I purchase a Camera Creature instead of having loose toys...this was well worth the money. I've already used it for two sessions, and both little kiddos LOVED it! The squeaker in the bottom is perfect to get attention, and the soft plushness of the animal was great for the kids to touch. I truly think it will make those tough little kids melt.

This inexpensive prop evokes a smile from anyone. Basically, it's cute and totally unexpected!
It's well worth the price and, of course, B&H shipped it almost imeediately.
