TILT AND SWIVEL
The VB-Series bare-bulb flash 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 flash to directly illuminate a subject often
creates harsh, unnatural, and unattractive shadows. To avoid
this, the flash can be tilted or swiveled, enabling you to aim
your flash at a large white or neutral-colored surface such
as a ceiling, wall, or reflector. The light will bounce off the
larger surface before striking your subject, providing softer,
more natural illumination. In addition, the flash 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 flash head, press and hold
the Position Release button. Release the button to lock it in
the current position.
