Acute/D4 Ring
The Acute/D4 Ring is an entirely mobile source of
light. The internal diameter of 100mm provides
plenty of space for most professional camera lenses.
Since the camera holder can be moved forwards and
backwards, as well as upwards and downwards,
most cameras can be attached. The Acute/D4 Ring
gives a direct light without any shadow on the fore-
ground, this makes an excellent light source for con-
fined areas, such as the interior of technical installa-
tions. Many fashion photographers also use the
Acute/D4 Ring to find new angles and capture details.
The ring flash provides a very distinct, directed light,
but can be complemented by the Softlight reflector,
which increases the light source, thereby producing a
softer light with little shadows. The optional Wide-
soft delivers even softer illumination. For close-ups,
there is a reflector that focuses the light to 50cm in
front of the camera lens.The maximum charge is
9600Ws/ minute.This means 4 flashes a minute at
2400Ws, 8 flashes at 1200 Ws,16 flashes at 600 Ws,
etc. Changing the flash tube is only to be done by 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.
