Pro-7 ring
The ring flash fits all Pro-7 generators, and is an entirely
mobile source of light. The interior diameter of 100 mm pro-
vides plenty of space for professional camera lenses. Since
the camera holder can be tilted forward and backwards, as
well as upwards and downwards, most cameras can be
attached. This makes an excellent source of light in cramped
areas, such as the interior of an automobile. Many fashion
photographers also use the ring flash to find new angles and
capture details. The ring flash provides a very distinct,
directed light, but can be complemented by a soft light
reflector, which increases the light source, thereby produc-
ing a softer light with fewer sharp shadows.
For close-ups, there is a reflector that focuses the light 50 cm
in front of the camera lens. The maximum charge is 9600
Ws per minute. This means 4 flashes a minute at 2400 Ws, 8
flashes at 1200 Ws, 16 flashes at 600 Ws, etc.
Changing flash tube is only to be done at a professional service
station.
Mounting the reflector
• Remove the two ridged screws fixating the camera holder.
• Remove the four ridged nuts holding the outer and inner
reflectors together.
• Run the lamp cable through the outer reflector and let the
reflector slide into position.
• Reassemble the outer and inner reflectors using the
ridged nuts.
• Reassemble the camera holder using the two ridged
screws.
