4. Fonctionnement
The primary function of the TR Hot Shoe Riser is its 0-90° tilt adjustment, which allows for versatile flash positioning:
- Direct Flash: For standard, forward-facing flash illumination.
- Flash rebondissant : Tilt the flash upwards (e.g., towards a ceiling) to soften shadows and create more natural-looking light. The riser's height helps ensure the flash clears the lens, preventing vignetting or shadows cast by the lens itself.
To adjust the tilt, gently push or pull the flash unit mounted on the riser to the desired angle. The mechanism is designed to hold the flash securely at various positions within the 0-90° range.
The TR riser allows 0-90° tilt for both direct and bounce flash, and its height ensures lens compatibility while preserving image edge clarity.
5. Conseils d'utilisation
- Preventing Lens Shadows: The riser's elevated design helps prevent the flash from casting shadows from longer lenses, especially in portrait orientation.
- Bounce Flash Effectiveness: Utilize the 0-90° tilt to bounce flash off ceilings or walls for softer, more diffused lighting. Experiment with different angles to achieve desired effects.
- Addressing Darker Bottom Half in Longer Shots: For longer shots taken with a flash, a darker bottom half of the photo may occur. Using the Hot Shoe Riser is recommended to mitigate this issue by elevating the flash.
