The Moon Unit is a unique softbox-like accessory that attaches to the ringflash unit with its own quick-release rotating speedring. Lightweight, compact and easy to assemble. Consists of a reversible gold/silver reflector surface in an octagonal shape, removable front nylon diffuser with center hole, removable black fabric mask to convert the octagonal shape to a circle, rods and reflector that properly bounces the flash energy into the Unit. If all the above elements are used, the result is a round, soft 30-inch aim-through light source. Remove the black mask and it becomes an aim-through 31-inch octabox. If the diffuser is removed, it becomes a silver or gold umbrella-like source for increased specularity. Removing the center reflector yields an intense center light source surrounded by a dimmer 30-inch round or 31-inch octagonal halo of light, either diffused by the front fabric or bounced directly from the gold or silver umbrella-type surface. Each configuration yields a different catchlight structure as well as different styles of light formation on the subject.

The Moon Unit is designed for use with the AlienBees ABR800 Ringflash
