Vello Ringbox

FYI

Just bought a Vello Ringbox.   Also own an Orbis Ring Flash.

Wow.  I love the Vello.  It's light is smooth.  The power (light loss) is the same as the Orbis.  And it is so much more usable (no cable connecting flash).  You can't use off camera, but that is rarely a need with ring flash. 

I bought it off B&H deal of the day.

Very useful!

Looks interesting, but rather large. If an insect is in the bushes, I wonder if you could capture it without scaring it away. My softbox on my SB-600 does that, which is the reason I'm using the older Lester Dine ring/point light still...

Absolutely: this isn't for everyone and every situation.  However, I my Orbis to be cumbersome since I never had a free hand.  Just letting people know the Vello, while bulky, is very stable.  Can easily work with one hand.
