Adjustable bracket for different sized flash guns.

TriGrip Reflector
plus P+P
TriGrip Reflectors The expanded range of TriGrip reflectors now come with a new moulded handle with securing strap, allowing even more accurate positioning of the reflector with one hand. This means that light can be directed to all those awkward spots e.g. under the chin and eyes without the need for stands or supports.
Your membership fee will be transacted today and you will receive your reflector within a few days plus your first 12 months membership
Giottos Monopod
plus P+P
With a monopod you can support heavy still and video cameras, make
instant changes to angle and position in restricted spaces and capture
that perfect moment first time.
For use in mud or snow, the specially designed rubber foot accessory
gives full support by spreading the load. Made primarily from aluminum
alloy, the all-metal construction gives a feeling of solidity and
confidence. Its surfaces are carefully polished twice, so its sections
lock firmly and can be released quickly.
Finally, the monopod is anodized to preserve the sheen of the original aluminum, or a pure black finish. It reflects the photographer's individuality; it catches the eye, and reflects its own special style.
3 Free months.
You can test us out for 3 free months.
