Macro Ring Flash Use
Especially suited to close-up shots of small objects like flowers, watches, insects, birds, clothing textures, dishes, small photo, and video accessories, for example. The flash can slide around an optional ring for the correct positioning. In fact, you can mount up to eight macro flashes and adjust their angles from -45 to 60 degrees.
High-Speed Sync Mode
The flash is compatible with high-speed sync up to 1/8000 second to lower background brightness or to shoot at wide apertures for maximum bokeh.
Optional Transceiver and Wireless Triggering
The VM-1010S is compatible with a VM-1020S transceiver that allows you to trigger the Macro Flash and adjust its power wirelessly.
Sleep Mode
Sleep Mode powers the unit down after inactivity to save battery power.
LED Focus Assist/Flash Test
Fire the Macro Flash or several of them at the same time with one button to verify that your flashes are working properly. You can also use the LEDs as modeling lights to preview the lighting from the VM-1010S flash.
Includes Diffuser and Color Gels
The flash is supplied with two diffusers (1 soft and 1 standard) to soften the light in situations when harsh shadows are not desired. Nine color gels provide options to match existing lighting or experiment and create your unique look. Optional diffusers and Color Gels are available to soften the output and add creative touches to work.
