Questions & Answers

DEBORAH B : How do I get the mounting ring off? I had to find a video to put it on. Also, I guess there's no way to use a Raynox clip on lens with this?
MARTIN S : will this work on my Sony 7r4?DANIEL T : Yes it will, but you will need a flash trigger that works with Sony to trigger the strobes.JOHN P : Yes. These flash units are arrayed around the lens and have no direct connection to the camera body. It comes with numerous ring adapters that join the flash mounting ring to the lens. The adapters are sized based on common lens diameters. The adapter screws into the lens's filter threads.I use a Flashpoint R2 Pro Mark II Transmitter for Sony as the flash trigger. It is mounted to my A7R4's hot shoe. I have also mounted a Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X R2TTL Speedlight to the hot shoe to fire the MF-12. The only negative I have encountered is that the diffuser caps are pretty non-diffusing. It's a problem I am still trying to fix.ROB G : It's univeral, so short answer, yes. BUT it requires a trigger or transmitter (you can see them in the photos of the product). I'm sure Flashpoint or Godox has one for the Sonys. Or a speedlight with the capability to transmit to the Flashpoint/Godox system.
Ted P : Does this have the threads for using an external filter, or is the ability to use a filter lost?  If it does have the threads, is there a noted size?ROB G : It has male threads only. So it fits over your lens filter, not the other way around. It has no filter threads on the outside end of its mount.

Perfect lighting!

Perfect for macro pictures, and with the Flashpoint R2 Pro Mark II Transmitter controller, and the Flashpoint R2 TTL Receiver for my Canon Speedlites 580 EXII it integrates perfectly with my existing lighting equipment. Works actually better than the Canon 2-light macro, is way more budget friendly, and I can now add more MF12 units if I want to. This, and the use of a diffuser for macro are definitely the greatest improvements anyone can make to their macro photography work, except for the use of a good quality focusing rail, or bellows for macro focus stacking.

Excellent with one caveat

Fun to use. The addition of the gels allows creative lighting otherwise not easily done with macro. 4 stars because the flashes themselves feel very flimsy and like if they drop they'll shatter. I get keeping weight down so to not weigh on the lens, but they just do not feel durable.

Wish there was a 46mm ring

This would be a 5 star review if the kit came with a 46mm ring. I'm using the Olympus OMD ME1-3 camera body with both the 60mm and 30mm macro lenses, these lenses have a 46mm filter thread. I now have a 46 to 49mm step up ring on order. I am really looking forward to using the MF12 in the near future.

Great macro lights

Great kit for macro lighting. Love the carrying case, and colored gels that come with it. Can do a full day of macro shooting on a full charge. Love that you can add it subtract flash heads as needed.

Good macro flash arrangement.

Works as expected lighting macros subjects. Wish the light could disperse a little better. Bugs? eyes show individual flashes. I?ll have to find an add-on. Would buy another if I needed it.

Probably the best macro flash system out there

This is probably the best macro flash system on the market. But, as always, there?s give and take. Pros- Lithium ion battery Easy to use controls Lots of options for creativity-gels, easy to re-position or take off the flash ring The right amount of power needed for macro work Price Scalable- for about $100 you can add another light to the system Con- not the best instructions Seems obvious, but it was not explicitly clear that a separate transmitter is needed to use this system

Very flexible lighting system

Another good Flashpoint product. They work great with my existing triggers, and I like the size. The batteries charge pretty quickly; I thought I'd miss using batteries but they have a long runtime and one can charge from USB on the go so not a problem. The lights have nice angling, and can put the light where you need it. But as with most ring flashes the diffusers don't really diffuse enough...a common problem since you need a bigger surface farther from the light source. There are various hacks to do this though, and it's always tough given the short working distances we have in macro. I'd like to see a dual cold shoe bracket just for these so we could mount them further away at times. Easy enough to build probably. Also, the weight of the flash units sometimes causes the adapter to slide around. Most use a bit of gaffer's tape to prevent that; it should be fixed in the design. And if you use filters make sure they've got a lot of threads so the weight of the flashes can be borne at the end of your lens without issue. But even without using them on the lens I find them useful, since they're so compact and adaptable. I like just throwing them in the pack for hiking for that reason, even if not on a macro shoot.

STOP AND READ!!! $-4-$ you can?t beat this versatile kit!

Nice beginners ring flash kit that?s expandable, and versatile. Kit includes 2 flash heads and all the step up rings you need to get started. Don?t forget to order the controller for your brand of camera. The kit is plenty to start out with some macro photography as well as being able to use the flash heads off the ring as stand alone units. For the price, you can?t go wrong you?re only limited by your imagination.

The small flash unit mounted on the stand is exactly what a macro photographer needs. Adjustable head for quick positioning, even extreme close-up range is within its reach. Compact size results in “invisibility”, lighting up the object while hiding itself away easily from the frame.

Multi-flash Setup for Broader Usage

Working as a multiple-flash solution when attaching to the mounting ring, MF12 expands its usage profoundly than the single unit. The combination can handle various scenarios easily depending on the number of flashes and the way you setup.

Multi-flash Setup for Broader Usage

Multi-flash Setup for Broader Usage

When adding more flashes, it brings a brighter light source to light up larger space while reducing shadows on the subject.

The combination can be used as a strong ring flash, which provides soft and even lighting to make your skin glowing and leaves beautiful catchlight in your eyes.

Multi-flash Setup for Broader Usage

The powerful built-in lithium battery supports maximum 500 full-power flashes and 0.01-1.7s recycling time, which guarantees a long-time creation without interruption. When the power runs down, you can easily recharge it through a type-c cable.

Flexibility Helps Perfection

Featuring precise control, the multi-flash solution is available to work as a ring flash but far more than that. Instead of illuminating forward only, every flash can rotate to a different angle freely and slide around the mounting ring for correct positioning.
