The SUNBOUNCE “BOUNCE-WALL” is a compact system consisting of a supporting arm, flexible bracket and replaceable reflectors; it is simply screwed into the tripod thread of the camera. With the “BOUNCE-WALL”, the detachable flash becomes a creative professional tool - and it only takes seconds. No more nonsense "over the ceiling flash" or unimaginative straight-ahead flashes: the “BOUNCE-WALL” frees the photographer from the light constraints on location. Expressive, indirect, illumination can be achieved without an assistant or much effort. With the exchangeable reflectors in proven SUNBOUNCE quality, the tone of the main light can be controlled - ideal for soft portraits and targeted lightening of foregrounds.
