O Extensor de Flash Visual Echos FX1 Better Beamer ajuda a ampliar o alcance do flash e aumentar a potência de flash entre 2 e 3 f/stops. Ele focaliza e concentra a potência do flash em um feixe estreito através da tela fresnel posicionada na frente do flash. Isso permite fotografar em distâncias maiores e com aberturas menores.
O Better Beamer foi projetado para ser usado com lentes 300mm e maiores e seu suportes laterais em plástico resistente moldado por injeção são acoplados à cabeça do flash através de uma faixa elástica resistente de "gancho e presilha". Os suportes rígidos mantêm a tela Fresnel no lugar nos formatos horizontal e vertical. Pesa apenas 2 1/2 onças (70,87g).
A versão FX1 serve para muitas cabeças de flash de tamanho médio, ex: Canon 430EZ, 199d, Nikon SB-24 e SB-28, Minolta 2500 e 5400 e Pentax 5000AF. A medida entre as duas abas de conexão é de 1 9/16".

Works like a charm... nice to be able to use fill flash on long lenses. I use it on a sunpack flash when using a Sigma 18-250 on a Canon 60D at long focal lenths (APS-C (.6 full frame sensor)).

Focuses flash as described and helps eliminate harsh shadows. Had to research on the web to find the one for my flash, which took a while (it's an older flash). The sides are sturdy and mounted easily to my flash. The lens seems a bit flimsy, but it works like it said. It packs away quickly and is easy to carry. Maybe a bit overpriced. A word of caution, it burned two lines an inch long in my neoprene lens cover in less than a minute, so watch where the sun is if you use your camera on a tripod, or are stationary for a while. The concentrated beam from the sun can easily damage your equipment. It could use some type of top piece to keep the sun from hitting the fresnel lens.

I had to do some searching on the Web to find which model was correct for my camera. Fortunately, the size I ordered was the right one. It is a welcome addition for adding distance to my external flash during outdoor, zoom photography -- especially when photographing birds in the woods.
It appears to be made of good material. My only reservation is the it seems to be overpriced. But since it is one of only a few practical solutions to a need, I am glad I have it.

I do a lot of bird photography & this is fast becoming one of my favorite accessories. Really great for opening up the shadows on distant subjects. Only complaint is the materials seem a little flimsy although I haven't had any problems because of it
