TILT AND SWIVEL

The VB-Series bare-bulb ash heads can tilt down to -15°,

and up at 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90° angles from lens. They

can also swivel horizontally 135° to the right and 180° to

the left.Using the ash to directly illuminate a subject often

creates harsh, unnatural, and unattractive shadows. To avoid

this, the ash can be tilted or swiveled, enabling you to aim

your ash at a large white or neutral-colored surface such

as a ceiling, wall, or reector. The light will bounce off the

larger surface before striking your subject, providing softer,

more natural illumination. In addition, the ash can tilt down

by 15 degrees in order to fully illuminate your subject when

shooting close-up photography.

To adjust the tilt and swivel of the ash head, press and hold

the Position Release button. Release the button to lock it in

the current position.
