THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO

The Vello Flash Multiplier is the ideal tool to focus and concentrate your on-camera flash so you can extend the light over long distance when using lenses of 300 mm or greater. This helps when you're out shooting wildlife, like birds in tree tops, and need proper illumination without getting too close. Enjoy a portable, easy-to-set-up flash accessory that helps extend battery life and works with TTL metering to deliver up to three extra f-stops.

WARNING!

This is a magnifying lens!

Looking at direct sunlight through the fresnel lens, or pointing the flash multiplier directly into your subject's eyes at close distance, may result in damage to the eyes.

Always remove or cover this lens when not in use.
