fiberstrobeV3_08

Fiberstrobe V3 home-made flash adapter for macro photography. The idea is to channel the light of one flash using fiber optic cables. I used 30 1mm diameter strands in one arm made of 1/4 loc-line modular hose. This enables the flexible and stable positioning of my light. You can attach any kind of light modifier to the end of the arms. You can see as example a gobo, a snoot, a diffuser and a mini beauty dish.

 

Here you can see the wireless fiberstrobe V3 in action using 4 GoBos:

Strobist info: Main on-board flash with a DIY ring adapter. Second flash was triggered optically and illuminating the background (it could be whiter).
