Yup, I am trying to make myself an Orbis Ring flash adaptor.

The material is my favourite all purpose corrugated sheets that can be easily found in Tesco or any book store, Tesco aluminium foil paper, cloth tapes, glue and mah jong paper as diffuser.
As usual, everything to be sketched in paper to get all the dimensions:

Based on the concept that the light travel in straight line, and will deflect at the same angle as the direction where it come from, simple physics. Hence, the key element of my flash adaptor would be the 45 deg bend from the flash head bracket. By theory, what ever flash light that came out from the flash head will be deflected directly to the circular ring "soft box" below since the whole compartment of the flash bracket is sealed and no light leakage.
I got my concept, I got my dimensions, cut out all the parts and the construction started without any delay. Oh, by the way, this ring flash adaptor is made for my beloved flash F58 "Cobra Head".

Before everything is put together by cloth tapes, the inner side of the soft box will be covered by aluminium foil paper.

The top right hand is the flash adaptor and the bottom is the ring soft box.

Assembly these two major parts with cloth tapes, secure the flash adaptor with layers of cloth tapes. Cover the opening of the flash adaptor with mah jong paper as diffuser. Test shots !

A bit better, right ? I so like to play with my new toy until I took a shot again, but this time different pose.

Ok, I hear someone puking again.... LOL
Of course my O-bis Ring Flash adaptor can be used as off camera ring flash as well. It is so light that it can be oriented like this:

ReplyDeleteThis looks great but I don't really like it. Let me tell you that could be better if you visit Viagra Online and stopped invented those weird things.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute... what was that? I didn't understand the main point. I've been visiting this place and I think isn't bad enough but you need others topics to improve the traffic.
ReplyDeleteIt's 3 years late but this is a fantastic idea. I am so going to copy you!!
