Works for me. Fits most flash guns unlike Ray Flash where you have to get a specific model.

Big problem for me was that the flash flies out of the opening….

Check out my really cheap way of fixing the Orbis and flash together to stop it popping out:

I do very impressed by the image taken with orbis ring flash.
But I still have some consideration upon this product, that is,
will it change the color temperature of my strobe so I have to
tune the setting of white balance ?

I must try it. Very good idea to my photography.

I tried to searching Orbis Ring Flash in Polad. I Think that I can by it to much chipper e.g. on allegro:

all cost is only 70 US.

Thank’s Sime.

Hi Susie – I’ll pose for you :-)

Yes, It is too much weight – I used it both ways (on and off the hot shoe)

A great device, nonetheless.

From what I’ve read you’re not supposed to keep the flash on the hot shoe with the orbis attached. I think it’s in the instructions, in fact. That’s too much weight for the hot shoe. It’s designed to be attached to the flash and triggered remotely, with the lens through the hole…. anyway, I have one, and need to take some more pics with it… just looking for some models at this point. lol.

I also have the Orbis, and love it, and I have (lightly) modified with self-adhesive Velcro like this: http://www.darjanpanic.com/photography/orbis-ring-flash-adapter-and-a-little-mod/ and now it’s even *better* :)

I have an Orbis as well, and must say that I agree completely with everything in this review. I have experienced having the ring flash part pop off my speedlight a couple of times, but never in a way that damaged the unit. It’s not the handiest thing in the world, but it works fairly well and is still way cheaper than buying the real deal.
