Backscatter Mini Flash 2 & Optical Snoot Combo Package

Using a strobe with a snoot was once really difficult. Aiming a snoot took lots of practice. The Mini Flash and Optical Snoot are designed together with the purpose of making shooting with a snoot as easy as possible. With bright LED lights that project the same beam pattern as the flash through the snoot, you can easily see the exact placement of the snoot beam on your subject when framing a shot and know you are hitting your target. Have a critter that doesn’t like a constant light on all the time? Use the short duration modeling flash to check your snoot placement without continuously disturbing a light sensitive critter.

• Brightest aiming light of any snoot
• Aperture Cards adjust the size of the light beam
• Circular & Oval Aperture Cards included
• Rotate the snoot to adjust the shape of the beam with the Oval Card

Change strobe power levels on a remotely placed Mini Flash 2 from a main Mini Flash 2, all completely cable-free. Remotely trigger Mini Flashes with the included Lightpipe. Perfect for off-camera snooting, side lighting, and backlighting. Use an optional IR filter to keep the trigger strobe from showing up in your shots.

HIGH-SPEED SYNC
Shoot faster than your camera’s flash sync speed with wide-open apertures for buttery smooth bokeh while still maintaining a dark background.
