ExpoImaging Inc., creators of the Rogue FlashBender speedlight modifiers, has announced availability of new Rogue FlashBender 2 designs.
“Photographers’ reaction to the original Rogue FlashBenders exceeded all our expectations,” said Erik Sowder, CEO of ExpoImaging Inc. “The FlashBenders’ versatility and portability have made them an integral part of location shooters’ lighting gear.”
“As great as any product is, we always look for ways to make it better. For FlashBender 2, we focused on the reflectors’ weight and attachment. We developed custom fabrics that would be lighter weight without sacrificing the durability and reflectivity characteristics we demanded. We also redesigned the integrated attachment strap to provide an even tighter grip on the flash while still allowing for wide adaptability to multiple flash sizes.”
The custom fabrics used in FlashBender 2 make the reflectors 20%-30% lighter than the originals. The supple new fabric used on the reflective surface helps to reduce contrast and allows for more light shaping control.
The new FlashBender 2 secures to the flash using a redesigned attachment strap that accommodates a wide range of flash head sizes with a circumference ranging from 8” to 9 3/4”.
The new, lighter FlashBender 2 XL Pro includes a new attachment, the XL Pro Strip Grid (also to be available for use with the original XL Pro). The XL Pro Strip Grid integrates a black fabric grid with diffusion material. This kind of functionality has never been previously available in such a lightweight and portable package.
New FlashBender 2 versions include the FlashBender 2 XL Pro System, FlashBender 2 Large and Small Reflectors, FlashBender 2 Bounce Card, FlashBender 2 Large and Small Softbox Kits and FlashBender 2 Portable Lighting Kit.
All FlashBender 2 products are available now.
