Primeras impresiones con el Ray Flash, originally uploaded by .:fotomaf:..
Me encantan los flash de anillo (o beauty dish, como alguno le llaman) y tengo el ojo echado en el Alien Bee ABR800. ¿Problema? que el precio de la unidad es de unos 399$, que lleva voltaje americano y que para sacarlo de paseo hay que comprar una unidad de energia portable por otros 300$. No dudo, para nada, que la calidad de la luz de un flash de estas características sería mucho mejor que este Ray Flash, pero como estimo que no voy a darle uso continuo, he preferido gastarme mucho menos (199$) en este “invento” sin saber muy bien cómo iba a funcionar.
El caso es que este adaptador no pesa prácticamente nada y encaja a la perfección en mi 580 EX II (abajo tenéis un link con la página de producto, porque hay diferentes acabados según cámara/flash) La medición eTTL prometen que no se ve afectada, así como la temperatura de color. El aparato en si no es más que un difusor pasivo, no hay luces extra ni nada parecido, y sorprende mucho que no haya perdida de luz aparente con su uso…

Bowens on- board ringlight convereter – Review
Bowens Ringlite Converter Review – Matt Grayson takes a look at the Bowens Ringlite converter. A studio flash accessory for adapting your Bowens S-Mount head into a macro ring flash.
The need for separate ringflash units is not necessarily the case. In a flash, Bowens have thrown a new contender into the ring. No pun intended.
Bowens Ringlite converter Specification
Diameter – 21.6cm/8.5in
Centre Aperture – 9.5cm/3.75in
Angle – 55°
Height – 35cm / 13.75in
Width – 11.5cm / 8.75in
Depth – 11.5cm / 4.5in (inc S-Type adaptor, not including camera bracket)
Weight – 1.45kg (including camera bracket)
Bowens Ringlite converter Features
Whilst most ring light flash heads are usually units that take power from the camera or separate battery packs, the Bowens Ringlite is similar to the adapter ringflash units that transform a regular bounce flash head using mirrors.
Just because you’re 1500’ off the ground is no reason not to use flash and at this altitude wires could be a problem. Here’s how outdoor photographer Tim Kemple lights up El Capitan…

I went to Tokyu Hand in Shinjuku, and got two different L-brackets, one with that screw knob and backing included for 900 yen. Got the two camera mount screws for 500 yen each at Yodobashi Camera, and then padded the connection points with left over bicycle handlebar tape, and then electrical tape. I had to file it a bit to get the middle screw backing to fit in the hole in the longer L-bracket, and for the camera mount screw to fit through the hole on the same bracket, but it works great~
The basics of setting up Nikon’s Wireless “Creative Lighting System” using a Nikon D90 and an SB800. With some examples of off-camera flash photos with and without the orbis™ ring flash. The pop-up flash on the D70, D70S, D80, D90, D200, D300 and D700 can all be used to fire Nikon flashes wirelessly, check your manual for details. All of these have a similar setup screen that you’ll see in this video, except the D70 and D80. There’s a Nikon online help topic to find out more here:http://support.nikontech.com/app/answ… Thanks to Anita, the model, from issis.co.nz for her help.

make up your mind to purchasing the ringflash – Alienbee ABR800 vs Zeus Ringmaster

whitney.dedic says:I plan on purchasing one or the other, but not quite sure which one to get. I obviously like the cost of the ABR800 but is the ringmaster (including the zues powerpack) worth the more money? i would be using the flash indoor and i would also like to be able to use it outdoor as well… |
rmphotog says:get neither get a real ring flash just read the bad reviews on the ABR800 its plastic hunk of junk… Your far better of getting a real ring flash like Profoto… |
|
Denverite says:I have an ABR800 and while I am not thrilled with the design, and the camera mount, which is large and bulky, its certainly not a hunk of Aside from the mount, I am pretty happy with it. Buying some manfrotto clamps for it, makes using it a lot better. I do agree that if money is no object get the Profoto ringlight. and powerpacks, at least $5K. If your on a limited budget and you need a ringflash, give the AlienBee a look. (less than 0.5K) |
|
whitney.dedic says:dont get me wrong, i would LOVE to get a Profoto…but i am a college student and definitely cant afford it.. but neither of you really answered my question….which one (ABR800 or Zues Ringmaster) is more worth it to buy? |
|
jasonbriscoephotography.com says:Go with the ABR800. Power pack and all are in the head unit. Zeus head requires the power pack. The ABR800 is 100 dollars more than the Zeus but does not require a power pack. ABR800 = $399.95 / Zeus Ringmaster ($299.95) + Zeus Power Pack ($599.95) = $899.90. Pick your poison. Peace. |
|
Denverite says:whitney: sorry, I only have experience with the ABR. I got the ABR after the release of the Zues, because it was cheaper than the Zeus. I think because its lighter and faster to handle, I would prefer the Zues. |
|
rmphotog says:Take a look at my most recent image for an explaination of the ABR800 and the difference in the profoto and also that the profoto can actually only cost you 700 bucks.. as well as it may be used with your already owned branded power packs.www.flickr.com/photos/13064082@N00/2142071533/ |
