Close-up work asks for soft light, and this 45cm ring gives it to you without the bulk. It mounts over the speedlite head, spreads even light around the lens axis and folds flat for the bag. Shoot portraits, macro and product frames with fewer hotspots to fix later.
Soft, even ring-shaped light for speedlite flash portraits and close-up shots
- harsh direct flash light
- hard shadows on subjects
- flat or uneven lighting on close-up subjects
Soft, even flash light that flatters every close-up
Bare flash leaves harsh shadows and flat faces. A 45cm ring softbox wraps your speedlite in soft, even light that folds flat when the shoot is done.
Light that wraps the subject, not just the front

Ring light that wraps the subject
The central opening sits over the speedlite head, so light spreads outward around the lens axis instead of falling from one side. Shadows under the chin and across the cheek soften, and the falloff reads as even on close-ups. Flexible rods hold the round shape without a frame.

Control with the silver insert
The silver reflective insert attaches with Velcro and throws extra light forward. Pull it off for a softer result, or keep it on when a small subject needs more punch. The black inner baffle keeps spill from bouncing back toward the lens.

Folds flat for every shoot
The collapsible fabric body and flexible rods fold down flat, so the ring rides in a camera bag beside the lens. Store it flat between jobs and keep the fabric clean, and it is ready for the next location.
Mount it in under a minute
- 1Unfold the ring
The collapsible fabric body opens around flexible rods with metal tips. The white diffusion face sits at the front and the black nylon back shows the structure underneath.
- 2Check the inner baffle
The black inner baffle sits inside the ring. It keeps stray light from spilling back toward the camera and shapes the light that reaches the subject.
- 3Attach the silver insert
Clip the silver reflective insert on with Velcro for a brighter, more controlled front light. Leave it off for a softer result.
- 4Mount the Velcro panel
Wrap the Velcro-edged mounting panel around the speedlite head through the central hole. Press it firmly, centre the ring, and take a test frame.

Questions and answers
The central hole is sized to slide over a speedlite head, and the ring sits around the lens axis. On close-ups, set the ring a little back from the subject and check the framing through the viewfinder. At very short distances the ring can crowd the lens and cast a shadow.
Yes, once you press the Velcro panel firmly around the flash head. Check that the ring is centred before you shoot, because a loose mount can shift mid-session and change the light direction.
The white diffusion front gives a broad, soft spread. The silver insert adds brightness and a more controlled front light. Take it off for a softer result, or keep it on when you need more output.
The body is matte fabric with a black nylon back and metal-tipped rods. Fold it gently along the rods, avoid sharp bends that stress the joints and seams, and keep it dry and clean on location.
The collapsible body folds down flat and slides into a camera bag next to the lens. Fold along the rods rather than forcing it, and it stays flat and tidy between jobs.
A bounce card gives an uneven spread, and a large softbox takes up most of a kit bag. This ring folds flat and gives a consistent wraparound light on every close-up, so you spend less time editing out hotspots and harsh shadows.
