Description

Parametric Hotshoe Mount Flash Diverter

  • Mounts to hotshoe
  • Provides reflector to divert flash against ceiling for softer lighting (no red eyes)
  • Either use as pure reflector (with aluminium foil)
  • Or use as partial reflector, partial diffuser (no aluminium foil)
    Printing

  • Easy print, no supports needed. (Minimal bridging.)

  • After printing, glue reflector to mount. (Superglue recommended if you use PLA)
    Assembly

  • For better reflection and to avoid diffused direct light, cover the reflector with aluminium foil. (Secure with adhesive tape.)

  • For a combination of reflected and diffused light, print reflector from straight white PLA and leave off aluminium foil. (Use of others colours tints the pictures. Might be artistically useful :-)
