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.
