Default Orbis Ring Flash and Nikon CLS Setup
This is a video by my friend James, he created the orbis™ which is a realistically priced ring flash / light which works very well... Thought I'd share with y'all..






I have an orbis™ so if you have any questions, please let me know and if I can't help, James will be able to...

I have an Orbis too. And I was hoping the video showed me some good tricks. Using CLS with the Orbis never works nearly that well for me. In fact, unless I hold the thing upside down it pretty much never catches the necessary signals. I'm thinking that it probably works a bit better in a bright white studio In any case, I got the arm and a sync cable for Christmas so I don't have to worry about it

That said, I'm in love with using the Orbis for macro shots.
