  • Phottix Mitros [Nikon] Review: The Real Deal

    Big changes continue to ripple through the high-quality, 3rd-party flash industry this month. To wit: I've been testing a new $ 300 Phottix Mitros [Nikon] flash for several weeks now.

    Here's the five-word short version: "Nikon, you should be very afraid."

    Why? Because this solid, Manual/TTL/CLS/HSS flash delivers all of the punch and practically all of the functionality of your flagsship Nikon SB-910 for about half the price. With twice the warranty.

    Put differently: as soon as word gets out, the days of the high profit margin OEM speedlights are numbered.

    Studio Lighting accessories maker Phottix has announced the 16-inch Multi Boom, with a tiltable bracket for umbrella softboxes. Priced at $ 69.99, it can hold up to two flashguns, and allows compatible softboxes to be tilted up to 180 degrees. According to the company, umbrella softboxes from Phottix and other manufacturers are easy to set-up, but almost impossible to tilt on traditional light stands. This can be resolved by attaching the Multi Boom bracket.
