RingLite

This classic lighting accessory gives a unique full-frontal lighting effect that makes it popular among fashion photographers.

The camera mounts to the centre of an opening that is surrounded by two semicircular 1500Ws flash tubes to achieve amazing results. To ensure short flash duration, the flash tubes have three, rather than two, electrodes and each has a separate cable. The RingLite can be used with any QUAD generator and its integral mounting bracket adjusts for use with virtually all medium format, digital and 35mm cameras.

For refined lighting effects, two quite different reflectors are available.

RingLite High-Intensity Reflector

This reflector increases the overall size of the light source, intensifying the light output.

RingLite Diffuser

Pulsar Radio Trigger System

Whether you are triggering flash heads for complicated lighting setups or cameras for remote control nature shots or special effects, this system is for you.

Each Pulsar unit can be either a transmitter or receiver and is capable of sending or receiving signals beyond 100m (333’). Unlike IR triggering systems, the radio-transmitted Pulsar operates around corners and through walls.

The Pulsar has four separate channels, enabling the photographer to isolate up to four light sources or to combine them and fire all of them at once without leaving the camera. Additionally, the Pulsar has a studio selector switch, which provides isolation from other Pulsar units using the same channel, and allowing up to six different systems to operate independently in the same space or studio.

A clip-on platform is available, allowing you to clip the Pulsar anywhere that it is needed.

Other Pulsar features include:

•Long battery life up to 200 hours of continuous use from two AAA batteries.

•Low voltage operation of just 3V making it ideal for use with sensitive digital cameras.

•Compact and lightweight design allows the units to be mounted directly onto your camera’s hot shoe or to your generator, or monolights.
