The Orbis Ring FlashThe Orbis Ring Flash


The orbis™ ring flash is a revolutionary new lighting accessory which transforms the harsh light from your SLR or DSLR flash gun / strobe to create beautiful, shadowless photos quickly and easily.

You don’t need any specialised knowledge or technique. The orbis™ fits to your flash in seconds – no bulbs, no batteries, no training course!

You place the orbis™ onto your flash, lift it up in front of the camera and bingo, stunning, shadowless light, anywhere, every time.

You can now fit the orbis™ onto your camera and tripod using the orbis™ arm.


If you rarely use your flash gun / strobe because you don’t like the results, the orbis™ ring flash is perfect for you. Lighting your photos with the orbis™ will open a whole new world of photography for you.

The orbis™ produces a characteristic ‘ring flash’ look that you’ll recognise from high-end magazine photography. Ring flash has long been distinctive of high-end portrait and fashion photography but studio ring flash systems are often bulky, fragile, expensive and hard to use. The orbis™ changes all that.

When used off-lens, to one side of your camera, the orbis™ becomes a great small soft-box, beauty dish or fill light for advanced effects.

Conceived by a full-time professional photographer, inspired by the Strobist philosophy and developed by top optical designers, the orbis™ is made from durable ABS plastic, weighs around 600g, is totally portable and works with your camera system's TTL metering.

The 'one-size-fits-most' dock means that the orbis™ ring flash fits a huge range of flashes with no need for add-ons. The orbis™ works with all your camera system's functionality and doesn’t stress the fragile hotshoe connection.

The orbis™ ring flash is great fun to use and gives passionate photographers, like you, an edge. If you're inspired to take your photography to the next level, the orbis™ is ideal.

The orbis™ is a fantastically compact, lightweight ring flash that’s easy to sling in your kit bag or over a shoulder for quick access in fast-moving photography situations, and is built to last.

the orbis™ - fall in love with lighting



FEATURES:

* made from durable ABS plastic
* portable
* lightweight
* one-size-fits-most flash guns / strobe



COMPATIBILITY:

The orbis™ is designed to work with standard-design SLR hotshoe flashes with a head that can be tilted back to vertical. The orbis™ therefore works well with most flash guns / strobes straight out of the box, with no need for any extra parts or conversion add-ons. The orbis™ has been tested and works with the following flash guns / strobes:

* Canon 300TL, 420EX, 430EX, 540EZ, 550EX, 580EX I and II
* Nikon SB28, SB600, SB800, SB900
* Cosmos 360
* LumoPro LP120
* Metz 48 and Metz 58
* Minolta 5200
* Olympus FL36R and FL50
* Pentax AF360 and AF540
* Sigma 500
* Sony F56 and HVL58
* Sunpak PF30X and 5000
* Vivitar 283

If your flash/strobe is similar in size and shape to these, it will almost definitely be compatible with the orbis™. If you're not sure, email us and we can tell you!

The only 'common' flash guns / strobes that we know of that are slightly too large to fit the orbis™ are:

* Cactus KF36
* Metz 45
* Vivitar 285 and the Vivitar 285HV

The following flash guns / strobes cannot be tilted back to vertical so are not compatible:

* Canon 220EX
* Nikon SB400
* Metz "Hammerhead" series (Metz 60, 76 etc)

The orbis™ arm is an invaluable mounting bracket that makes the orbis™ even more versatile.

By handholding the orbis™ you can easily achieve a shadowless, beautiful ring flash effect, or take it off-lens to create a variety of lighting set-ups in moments.

Some photographers love shooting with the orbis™ on-lens for longer. The orbis™ arm provides a solid mount for photographers who want to use their orbis™ in its primary ‘ring flash’ position for extended shoots. With the arm you can also easily mount the system on a tripod without using an extra light-stand.

The orbis™ arm is a compact and lightweight mounting bracket designed to work with the orbis™ ring flash and most of your favourite SLR flashes, cameras and lenses. Built from 6061 aircraft grade aluminium and finished in a smooth powdered silver, the arm extends the possibilities of your orbis™, giving you the freedom to shoot on-lens for longer!
