Blogalicious: a philippine photo odyssey

Was at the Glorietta yesterday and guess what we found! a new toy.. here is a close up of the ring flash.. and yes it was mounted on a canon but will work with other brands..

Here is the Camera with the Ring Flash held by Photographer Ken Go

Ring is mounted to camera on a special bracket which can be mounted also on a tripod. At full power the ring flash is rated to produce 130 pops at 400watts.Powerpack battery supply for portable flash

below is the portable power pack.. the flash ring seems light enough for the main photographer to be holding it together with the ring flash. the battery case inside seem like it can be opened and repacked with fresh rechargeable batteries if needed. Seems like a perfect solution for portable studio setups or location shoots that require well lit subjects . The best part of this products features is the Price! Introductory price is Php 35,000.00 converted to dollars at a exchange rate of $46=P1 makes it a steal at $760.87 cheaper than all the ring flashes and other products in the same category.

We have requested a product demo so we can test it on an actual shoot.. were real life settings can put the ring flash to the test… will update this product feature when we do the demo!

updated august 4 - Why I say Cheap.. the nearest priced Ring flash is priced at around 35-40k without the battery pack.. the battery pack cost about 30-40k.. for a working a photographer this is cheap since you get it half the price of the branded one. How good is the unit? we have to wait and see.  This is assuming of course that warranty and service is as execellent as the branded product. This remains to be seen…

Wait there’s more! Take a peek and see the Beauty of the Philippines!
