Product Information
Full details
The Broncolor Ringflash C is designed for photographers seeking controlled, shadowless illumination, particularly for portraiture and product photography. Its primary benefit lies in its ability to provide a unique, soft light quality that can be directed independently of the camera. A key consideration is the absence of a modeling light when used with the Move 1200L power pack.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of using the Broncolor Ringflash C?
The primary advantage is its ability to produce a unique, soft, shadowless light that is often desired for flattering portraits and even product illumination. Its independent angle adjustment also allows for precise light placement.
Can I use this ringflash with any brand of power pack?
No, the Broncolor Ringflash C is specifically designed and fully compatible only with broncolor power packs.
Does the Ringflash C have a modeling light?
The Ringflash C does not have its own built-in modeling light. Furthermore, when used with the broncolor Move 1200L power pack, the modeling light function is not available.
How do I control the light intensity and spread?
Light intensity is controlled by the settings on the connected broncolor power pack. For spread control, the Ringflash C comes with three available honeycomb grids that can be attached to shape the light.
What types of photography is this ringflash best suited for?
It is ideal for portrait photography (beauty, fashion, headshots) where soft, flattering light is key, and for product photography requiring even illumination without harsh shadows.
Can I adjust the power output directly on the Ringflash C?
No, the power output is controlled by the settings on the connected broncolor power pack. The ringflash unit itself does not have power adjustment controls.
Troubleshooting
Flash does not fire.
Ensure the power pack is switched on and properly connected to the Ringflash C. Check that the power pack is charged and set to an appropriate power level. Verify the sync cable connection to the camera and the power pack.
Inconsistent light output.
Check the connection between the Ringflash C and the power pack for any looseness. Ensure the power pack's settings are stable and not fluctuating. Clean the sync contacts on both the flash and the power pack if they appear dirty.
Modeling light not working (with Move 1200L).
This is a known limitation. The Ringflash C does not feature a modeling light when used with the Move 1200L power pack. This is expected behavior.
