THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO

The Vello EZ-Flip Gel Set contains 30 assorted color gels and a reversible silver reflector/black flag to control the light from your camera-mounted flash. When the light from your flash casts a color that is unflattering or harsh on skin tones, use one of the gels to acquire the correct shade. If you want to get creative with the color in your photos, quickly insert one of the gels into the EZ-Flip Gel Holder and watch how your photograph transforms. With the included EZ-Flip Gel Holder, you can position any of the assorted gels in front of your flash with a flick of the wrist, and move it back out of the way just as quickly. It fastens to the flash head via the hook-and-loop strap instead of the hassle of rubber bands and tape. Everything fits in the included nylon carrying case, which makes this a great portable tool that won't take up space in your bag.

ATTACHING THE EZ-FLIP GEL HOLDER

1. Place the EZ-Flip Gel Holder onto the flash head with the rubber side of the hook-and-loop strap facing down. Make sure the unit is facing forward with the gel holder flipped over, in front of the flash.

2. Wrap the hook-and-loop strap around the head of the flash unit and secure tightly so the gel holder does not slip. You can have the gel holder in front of the flash or flip it out of the way at your convenience.

Colored gels can be used for coloring, warming, cooling, or color correcting your photos.

1. Select a colored gel and slide it behind the gel holder tabs.

2. Position the gel holder in front of the face of the flash.

The black flag is used when you need to control the spill light from your flash. This is helpful for blocking light from your subject, or when you do not want light bouncing to other areas and affecting your photos. Typically, this is used in off-camera strobe applications.

1. Insert the black flag into either side of the EZ-Flip Gel Holder so that the silver side is facing the flash.

2. Position the EZ-Flip Gel Holder so that the black flag blocks the light of the flash from the area you do not want illuminated.

USING THE SILVER REFLECTOR

The silver reflector is used to bounce light while adding a saturated, soft look. This is ideal when shooting portraits or close-ups.

1. Insert the reflector into either side of the EZ-Flip Gel Holder so that the silver side is facing the flash.

1. Adjust the angle of your flash's head so that it is pointing upwards.
2. Flip the gel holder to a 45^ angle above the front of the flash for optimal use. You can then make fine adjustments to dial in the amount light you want to bounce.

Tip: You can use any of the color gels in combination with the silver reflector.
