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.

Pentax AF160FC Ring Flash, originally uploaded by Mike_Foster.

The new Pentax AF160FC ring flash I got for Chrimbo mounted on my K10D and attached to my 50mm on extension tubes macro setup.

It’s making better than 1:1 macro magnifications hand-held a complete doddle compared to what I used to go through. I also couldn’t get close enough on full extension without vignetting the flash or suffering crippling shadows before, whereas now the illumination even at a few cm is so wonderfully even and glorious and stepping down to a sensible aperture is so easy.

I’m really looking forward to getting out there and using it properly now I actualy officially have it.

and industrial macro photography.

The “basic“ ring provides detail rendering bare flash quality, the large softlight diffusor provides glossy magazine cover

beauty shots. Due to the outer positioning of the two powerful fans, a maximum cooling effect is achieved. This allows for an almost endless number of flashes.

make up your mind to purchasing the ringflash – Alienbee ABR800 vs Zeus Ringmaster
(from flickr alienbee forum)

alienbee don’t need additional powerpack. just use 120v normal power.

pick your poison . peace !

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… Posted at 1:25AM, 30 December 2007 KST ( permalink )

orbis™ ring flash episode 003 – kickbox shoot

The orbis™ ring flash, available at www.orbisflash.com, in action at a photo shoot of a kickboxer. Includes the advanced tip of using the orbis™ as a small softbox for directional lighting effects at close range.

Look out for episode 004 on orbis™ ring flash techniques, coming soon.

A while back I interviewed Italian fashion photographer Massimo Zanigni, after I’d spotted him posting some very polished, beautifully shadowless photography to the orbis™ ring flash flickr group. It turns out he’s a pro photographer who scored an assignment for a big Italian fashion label, Magilla, shooting none-other than gorgeous Italian celebrity Rafaella Fico. You can read the interview we did here.

The other day, excited to be using his new orbis™ arm, Massimo emailed me to let me know about three behind-the-scenes videos from the Magilla campaign. I thought you’d be interested to see them, so without further ado you’ll find them below. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to shoot a beautiful model in a stunning Venetial palace with an orbis™, you’ve come to the right place. Bravo Massimo !

It’s looks likea alienbees ABR800 Ringflash. but product name is Zeus ‘ Ringmaster’

and need their own brand’s powerpack. see more detail about this.

The ZEUS™ ZRM1 RingMaster (requires a Z1250 or Z2500Power Pack for use) is a high-power ringflash system for professional use where very high power levels and exposure values are required. With its extremely compact and lightweight design, the RingMaster is easy to use with most popular pro or semi-pro cameras. The design accommodates cameras with lenses up to 4 inches in diameter, having a full range of adjustments for use with cameras of nearly all heights and depths. The RingMaster incorporates dual fans, eight halogen modeling lamps and two semi-circularflashtubes, providing short flash durations and high power handling capacity.

Each ZRM1 RingMaster Arrives With:

• the 10-inch ring reflector
• a set of eight 20-Watt, 24-volt modeling lamps
• two half-circle flashtubes (daylight-balanced)
• the front cover / diffuser / gel holder
• the universal camera mounting bracket with adjustable camera platform, tripod and light stand mounting hardware
• the umbrella adaptor
• the 12-foot power pack cable (hardwired to the back panel)

The ZRM1 Ringmaster offers three different mounting options (opens in a new window).

Quick Specs:

• Max. Input Power = 2500 True Ws (at 700 Volts) with the Z2500
• Max. Continuous Usage = 20,000 Ws per minute
• Output (ISO100) with the standard reflector = f45 at 10′ (2500 Ws)
• Output (ISO100) with the 30″ Moon Unit = f32 at 10′ (2500 Ws)
• 1.5 pounds / 8″ diameter x 2.75″ depth / 4″ center lens hole

The ZEUS™ ZRM1 RingMaster is cross-compatible with all of the ABR800 AlienBees™ Ringflash accessories including the 30-inch Moon Unit, the 20º Grid, the ringflash gels/filters and theABRBAG carrying bag. The ZRM1 is also designed for use with the new 56-inch Moon Unit and newMoon Unit Carrying Bag.

ZEUS
SPECIFICATIONS

Maximum
Continuous Usage: The maximum continuous usage rating dictates
the practical usage limit. For example, if a Z2500SH Standard Head is
connected to a Z2500 pack (in either the A or B socket) with the full
power distributed to the one head and the flashpower adjustment
slider at the full position, the head would be set to flash at its
maximum power input level of 2,500 Ws. To stay within the maximum
continuous usage guideline, the head should only be fired 12 times
per minute (12 x 2,500 True Ws = 30,000 True Ws) at these settings.

The
maximum continuous usage rating for both the Z1250 and Z2500 power
packs is also 30,000 Ws per minute. With the Zeus Z2500 power
pack (at 2,500 Ws), the maximum recommended usage rate is 12 shots
per minute (1 shot per 5 seconds on a continuous basis). With the
Zeus Z1250 power pack (at 1,250 Ws), the maximum recommended usage
rate is 24 shots per minute (1 shot per 2.5 seconds on a continuous
basis). Please note that these are preliminary estimates of
maximum continuous usage, to be updated with more testing.

Recycle:
The recycle specifications are measured as the total time needed by
the unit to recycle to full power (with the flashpower adjustment
slider on the power pack at the full position). The recycle time is
proportionately faster at reduced power settings.

The
ZEUS POWER PACKS and FLASH HEADS: Expected Output

ZEUS
Z2500 (2500 True Wattseconds): approximate f-stop output for
heads with standard 80° reflector or RingMaster head with
standard reflector, at 10′ – ISO100

With
two flash heads connected, output is for each head metered
separately. The combined output of both heads will be approximately
the same f-value as the single flash-head chart at top if both heads
are in the same position and aimed at the same subject.

Test
Conditions: Z2500 Power Pack with Z2500SH Standard Flash Head
(with standard 80º reflector) at 10-feet, ISO 100

These
are predicted readings with the ZEUS Z2500 Power Pack (2500 True
Wattseconds) at the various power settings. All readings for the ZEUS
Z1250 Power Pack (1250 True Wattseconds) will be one f-stop lower.
Please note that readings taken in other environments, with other
accessories and / or with various brands of flashmeters may vary.

Price For All Three: $659.06

Product Description

The orbis ring flash uses your existing flash/strobe to create the same beautiful, characteristic ring flash look that has previously only been possible with expensive studio systems. Ring flash has long been recognised as characteristic of high-end portrait and fashion photography. The preserve of the upper end of the market, studio ring flash systems cast beautiful shadowless light yet are bulky, fragile, unwieldy and costly. Conceived by a full time professional photographer and developed by top optical designers, the orbis ring flash is made from durable ABS plastics, weighs around 500g and is totally portable. The patent-pending light-tunnel’ redirects the light from your flash/strobe transforming it into an incredibly effective ring flash. A patent-pending ‘one-size-fits-most’ dock means that the orbis works with a huge range of flash/strobes with no need for add-ons. The orbis enables you to take photographs with shadowless quality ring flash light – without the high costs associated with buying or renting a bulky studio ring flash. All you need is a standard flash/strobe unit and an off-camera cord (or other remote triggering method). the orbis is handheld so neither impedes your camera system’s functionality nor relies on the fragile hotshoe connection. The orbis arm, a simple kit enabling you to fix your orbis to your camera, is now available. The orbis was designed to give serious photogr aphers an edge; by enabling you

orbis™ Amateur Photographer UK Review, originally uploaded by jmfoto.

During a recent visit to the flashy London offices of Amateur Photographer UK, they mentioned they’d reviewed the orbis™. As it’s been reviewed in so many mags, I had to admit that I’d totally missed it! So here’s the clipping… 4/5 stars. I’m hoping that with the orbis™ arm we’ll be able to get full marks!
