Flaghead Ringflash

Portable Flash

This unique product was developed by a professional photographer from the Czech Republic. It uses a clever system of internal prisms and reflectors to distribute the light emitted from the flash unit evenly around the large diameter of the ringflash adapter.

It uses a clever system of internal prisms and reflectors to distribute the light emitted from the flash unit evenly around the large diameter of the ringflash adapter. The ringflash adapter creates a very special lighting effect: a “3-d shadow-wrapped look”. Because all light originates from the front, ie from around the lens, it produces a virtually shadowless look on the front of your subject, while a soft even shadow appears around the edges. It is ideally suited for fashion, portrait and beauty images as a main light or fill-in.

I’ve been itching to make a DIY ring flash for sometime but had no luck finding a bundt pan to work with.

nickwheeleroz version (link below) of the home-brewed ringflashes got me down to work. I had followed his steps, then realized the cardboard box alone wasn’t sturdy enough for holding two flashes. I made enforcements by building an aluminum frame for the unit.

However, building the frame alone took alot of effort. Drilling, assembling, measuring then disassembling – repeat. Certainly something I enjoyed ;)

As a result the whole unit is stable! The only downside is, it’s heavy, bulky and ideally to remain on a heavy-duty tripod. My unit without flash & camera weighted 1.2 kg (almost 3 lbs!)

I had high hopes that I could carry that thing around, but after a few tests shots off tripod, my left arm went jelly.

I think this will be my next ringflash project, which seems reasonably light and compact! :

preliminary tests on my home-brewed boxed ring flash.

Yes, lots of aluminum. Looks like a tank briefcase.

The aluminum came from one 8 foot “L” shaped bar and a meter stick. The handle was from an old cupboard.

The camera in this pic is a D70s w/ tokina 11-16mm + hood. which didn’t fit onto the screw mount as seen. I need a router to get through the rest of the bottom plate aluminum or drill a row of holes for adjustability.

The ringflash should fit most standard lens, might be difficult for 77 mm threads and larger.

homemade ringflash with leds handheld

A preview of my first project for my resolution. Instead of a traditional 365, one picture a day for a year, I’m doing 52 week long projects with the final work to be published each Friday, and the first one’s tomorrow. Anyway, above is what I’m doing for my first one: a Do-It-Yourself adaptor to turn my dedicated flash into a Ringflash. It’s cardboard spray painted white to bounce the flash’s light down and into a metal can which has been cut, taped, and painted white also to reflect the light back out.
