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.

Due to it’s large inner diameter (143mm), the ringflash adapter will accept almost all lenses from small, medium and large format cameras. Exposure control is easy: using either Canon or Nikon cameras (or their derivatives) all TTL functions are operational as usual, as well as manual mode. It is of course possible to use the Canon 580EX and the Nikon SB800 in manual mode with other camera brands by using a simple hot-shoe adapter, which provides a standard synchronisation lead, and improvising a suitable way of mounting the flash to the camera. The ringflash adapter is a very affordable way to achieve typical ringflash lighting quality normally only available to studio flash equipment users.

All price is : 159.00 EUR=229.055 USD

Features:

Outer diameter: 227mm

Inner diameter: 143mm

Weight: 509 gms

Exposure Guide: f/5.6 at 5ft (152cm) 100 ASA

Mounting: Attaches to front of flash unit

DIY ringflash box, originally uploaded by Chun Wu.

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! :

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.

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.

The new Pixel Enterprises TR-331 (for Nikon) and TR-332 (for Canon) consist of a transmitter only (TX) component and a receiver only (RX) component which use CR-2 lithium batteries but no transceiver to allow use of the speedlight on the camera itself (which is a real pity – I hope they will make a transceiver version).

They differ from the Pocket Wizard Flex TT5 in that they use the 2.4GHz radio frequency and thus do not need different models for each region of the world (but perhaps there may be interference with other 2.4GHz devices such as portable phones), and although they support High Speed Sync (HSS) flash to 1/8000th sec, they do not appear to have Pocket Wizard’s Hypersync mode, and they do not appear to require use of a laptop and USB connection to program them (but I presume they are much less sophisticated devices and thus less versatile).

They have 15 channels, and are said to operate up to 65 metres, support auto-focus assist, and also have a PC sync socket to fire studio strobes or manual flashes

Now if only they would bring out a much needed Olympus model.
