Hama Vario Pro Flash Reflector

Hama Vario Pro Flash Reflector

Some problems are always the same, despite the progress of technology. Even those who use digital single-lens reflex cameras know what it’s like when you have to use a flash when taking pictures of people when lighting is bad, for example. Even state-of-the-art external flash units produce frontal light that is much too hard as well as dark, hard shadows, often leaving much to be desired. In such situations, experts and connoisseurs use the light indirectly by channelling the it to the person via a reflector, so that the person is illuminated softly.


However, the reflector is often left at home. Too big, too bulky, does not fit the new flash unit, or simply forgotten. All these reasons are simply swept away by a new, handy product offered by Hama. The Vario Pro flash reflector only measures 6.5 by 7.5 centimetres when folded and, with a width of just half a centimetre, it is extremely flat. It can be attached to almost all types of flash units by means of hook-and-loop tape and can stay there permanently. When unfolded, it offers a reflecting surface that measures 6.5 by 11.5 centimetres, which can even be angled by 45 or 90 degrees.
