cheap(er) ring flash....

been reading a bit of stuff lately on the Strobist and saw this which thought i’d share

looks pretty cool and whilst possibly not the same quality as the studio quality pro gear, its not that price, nor does it need external mains power

thoughts?

My mate in America swears by AlienBee lights, and has made his own ring light.

Very cool shots!

Aren’t alienbee on the pricey side?

You said “ring flash”. :smiley:

(Sorry.)

i’m surprised it took that long for a ‘ring’ joke to surface :wink:
