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.
