Ray Flash question

[Mark Elberson]

Quick question,is thereway to use the Ray Flash with a radio trigger.

It is because of weak spot where the light is redirected. I think the Ray Flash handles this better than the Orbis. The Orbis has a complete dead spot where the flash connects. I think it showed really bad on the images above because of the low power and the size of and the distance from the subject.

It is almost a non-issue when you bump the power up.

I think you can connect a radio transmitter to the PC jack and have it fire other lights. I've never done that but I saw I guy I worked with once use an on-camera flash as a fill and he had PW hooked to his PC jack and it fired his Porty. He wasn't using the Ray Flash but it doesn't block anything that would allow this to happen. Just don't use TTL it will fire on the red eye flash. He learned that the hard way.

Glad to help.


I think the Ray Flash is a neat gizmo to have around. It can be a great quick fix for a lot of situation even if the full bore ring light effect isn't your cup of tea.
