Description

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

Solves
  • 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 softbox side panel and rod supports holding the round shape

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.

Silver reflective insert attached with Velcro inside the ring softbox

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.

Ring softbox front view with white diffusion face and central opening

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

  1. 1
    Unfold 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.

  2. 2
    Check 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.

  3. 3
    Attach 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.

  4. 4
    Mount 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

Will it fit my speedlite and does it block the lens on close-ups?
w
Wanelo · seller

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.

Does the Velcro mounting panel hold the ring steady on the flash head?
w
Wanelo · seller

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.

How does the silver insert change the light compared with the white diffuser alone?
w
Wanelo · seller

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.

Is the fabric body durable for location shoots?
w
Wanelo · seller

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.

How quickly does it fold and pack?
w
Wanelo · seller

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.

Is it worth it compared with a cheap diffuser or bouncing off a wall?
w
Wanelo · seller

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.
