Description

PDF

This bracket points your 5600 series flash along the central axis of the umbrella or reflector. This position means that the output of your flash is right where you want it. Not only that, rare earth magnets allow you to snap on useful attachments in any situation.

  1. Filter holder: Ensures that filters are secured and free from damage
  2. Honeycomb grid: Hardens the light source and prevents the light from spreading 
  3. Barn doors: Limits where the light falls
  4. Scrim: Softens the light by creating a more significant and effective source

Additional materials

  1. Rare earth magnets 8 per attachment, total 40. (approx 5x1.75x3mm) from  eBay
  2. Scrim material: Sail cloth or similar. 560 x 260mm, (sew in 8mm hem).
