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.

Multiblitz RINGFLASH The new powerful light head for the MAGNOLUX studio generator series.

With its detailed and direct light it is mainly designed for the fashion studio. But it also applies in commercial

photography as an ideal lighting tool for shadowless close-up photography of small objects as for instance in medical-

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.

Code: MARILA-PLUS I

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.

Karine Modèle Français Fou.

I tell her all the time in italian “E’ Matto!” Your crazy.. cause she really is… And if you know I call her that she must be! Great person. Anyways someone asked me to show them what a ringlight looks like outside. It was shot with the Alien Bee Ring flash but half way through the shoot I switched back to my Profoto head.. Honestly the Alien Bee is a hunk of plastic poorly designed junk.. The ring is to small in size and you cant even focus the lens while its in the hole. The camera mount is junk and a pain. The reflector falls off constantly. I mean this thing is really really poorly designed and made. I got rid of it. I may be tied down to a power pack and having to use a power outlet for the Profoto but atleast I can see and focus and the camera stays put on the mount! I just make sure if I am working in a dark area to have some LED flash lights to use to see and focus.. I mean honestly for 300 bucks more for the profoto its so so much better than the Alien Bee plastic garbage. Also big tip guys you can have the Profoto Custom wired to your packs if you need to thus getting rid of the problem of having to have a profoto pack to run the head. You can have the Ringflash profoto head wired at a good Calument shop in a major city to run on your “Balcar” or “Novatron” “Norman” “Elinchrome” “Bronacolor” “Dynalight” packs. Saving you some bucks. YOu can do the same thing with those old “Tri Lights” That Norman used to make too…

Here’s the great info for the

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 )

	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… Posted 24 months ago. ( permalink )
	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 junk. 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.

	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? Posted 24 months ago. ( permalink )
	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. Posted 24 months ago. ( permalink )
	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/ Posted 24 months ago.
