The orbis™ arm is an invaluable mounting bracket that makes the orbis™ even more versatile.

By handholding the orbis™ you can easily achieve a shadowless, beautiful ring flash effect, or take it off-lens to create a variety of lighting set-ups in moments.

Some photographers love shooting with the orbis™ on-lens for longer.  The orbis™ arm provides a solid mount for photographers who want to use their orbis™ in its primary ‘ring flash’ position for extended shoots.  With the arm you can also easily mount the system on a tripod without using an extra light-stand.

The orbis™ arm is a compact and lightweight mounting bracket designed to work with the orbis™ ring flash and most of your favourite SLR flashes, cameras and lenses. Built from 6061 aircraft grade aluminium and finished in a smooth powdered silver, the arm extends the possibilities of your orbis™, giving you the freedom to shoot on-lens for longer!

• Manufactured from 6061 aircraft grade aluminium

COMPATIBILITY:

The orbis™ is designed to work with standard-design SLR hotshoe flashes with a head that can be tilted back to vertical. The orbis™ therefore works well with most flash guns / strobes straight out of the box, with no need for any extra parts or conversion add-ons. The orbis™ has been tested and works with the following flash guns / strobes:

• Canon 300TL, 420EX, 430EX, 540EZ, 550EX, 580EX I and II
• Nikon SB28, SB600, SB800, SB900
• Cosmos 360
• LumoPro LP120
• Metz 48 and Metz 58
• Minolta 5200
• Olympus FL36R and FL50
• Pentax AF360 and AF540
• Sigma 500
• Sony F56 and HVL58
• Sunpak PF30X and 5000
• Vivitar 283

If your flash/strobe is similar in size and shape to these, it will almost definitely be compatible with the orbis™. If you're not sure, email us and we can tell you!

The only 'common' flash guns / strobes that we know of that are slightly too large to fit the orbis™ are:

• Cactus KF36
• Metz 45
• Vivitar 285 and the Vivitar 285HV

The following flash guns / strobes cannot be tilted back to vertical so are not compatible:

• Canon 220EX
• Nikon SB400
• Metz "Hammerhead" series (Metz 60, 76 etc)
