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.
I talk about White Lightning and compare the brand with Pro foto.
I talk about the difference in price as well as what to expect.

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…

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/ |

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 !

First pic with my Rayflash ringflash adapter, Very cool!
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.
