And I have a new toy to write about. The RoundFlash Mobile Softbox 45 cm<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 is the first real solution I have found for converting your system flash into a ring flash. I have tried a few different variations over the years but was never happy with the results. After we all had a play with Toms<\/a> one way back at the Palm Valley shoot<\/a>, 10 of us put our money together and bought in bulk….<\/p>\n

Due to the huge dimensions\u00a0 the RoundFlash\u0099 gives a very even and soft light. It is quit and easy to put together and easy to pack up, the small magnets on the sides are a cleaver idea. The arms that fold out to separate the fount and back of the RoundFlash simply clip together with magnets. There should be no hotspots or dark areas on the front surface of the flash, but if there are adjust the zoom on your flash head (like mention in tips and tricks below). The diffuser together with your speed-light are the perfect soft & round light source.<\/p>\n

I personally own a 400ws ring flash and a 90w ring light both of which have their advantages and disadvantages. The ring-flash is portable and powerful but to powerful for up close or with your lens open wide. The ring-light can’t be used with out mains power (limiting its use outside the studio) but its constant light is great for up close and wide aperture. It has that even ring-flash look but at a fraction of the price.<\/p>\n\n\n
