The honeycomb arranges the light into a unidirectional beam. A honeycomb attachment will prevent light from spilling out of the sides of the flash head allowing for control over exactly where your light will fall on your scene.
Very useful for black background photography or other situations where light needs to be precisely directed onto a subject, without illuminating the surrounding area.
Honeycombs do not soften the light like diffusers. the multiple holes in the surface control the angle that light must exit the honeycomb without affecting the high intensity light from the flash head within.
This macro flash attachment magnetically fixes to the head of your Adaptalux Flash Lighting Arms. Flash Hood Attachments can be used in combination with gels (included with every Flash Arm) to create coloured effects and add extra multi-layered diffusion.
This product is part of our modular macro lighting system.
If you don’t already have Adaptalux Lighting, you may want to consider purchasing a pre-built or custom pack which will include everything you need to get started.
The studio Kit is truly innovative photography equipment. With its high build quality and intuitive design, it was easy to use straight out of the box with a short learning curve. The supporting app is user-friendly, allowing me to unlock the kit’s full potential immediately. Online support is comprehensive
The lights occasionally lose contact and turn off when adjusting the arms, requiring a slight readjustment to turn back on, and the arms have some stiffness that causes them to spring out of position at times, these are very minor quirks that don’t detract from an excellent product.
This kit has opened up new creative lighting possibilities for my photography. Highly recommended

Adaptalux is simply the best source for Macro
I’ve seen quite a few Videos by highly respected Macro Photographers using and recommending Adaptalux Lighting Products.
SubsequentIy I ordered a full range of their lighting systems.
Simply put, it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
The system is so well designed, simple to use, affordable, and It arrived in Minnesota in just a days from the UK. ATAPTALUX IS THE BEST OF IT’S KIND!
Sales/customer service is prompt, very personal.
I am glad to have found ADAPTALUX .

Great but still room to improve
I’m genuinely loving the Adaptalux kit I’ve bought and whilst I went big early, I’m already getting strong results. That said still very very useful.

I’m very impressed with Adaptalux!
I got the full kit (not the starter) — each arm lets you adjust both the intensity and diffusion of light. The ultraviolet is truly fascinating, giving me an image that can’t be replicated with any other light source.
I’m still getting used to the flashes, but they look promising — you can mount them on the camera or use them separately. I recommend getting diffusers and an extra second pod, which is useful for lighting from two sides.
The only downside: my Pod 3 didn’t connect to the Android app, but it has its own on-body controls, and the flashes have their own controls that are even more convenient.

Versatility and modularity
When I first saw an Adaptalux video on YouTube, I thought this would be a good occasion to reconnect with macro photo.
So I bought a pod 3, a few lighting arms (including UV, I have a full spectrum camera, so that’s B&W pictures, works somehow as the white lightning arms in « normal » photography). I was amazed by the quality of the packaging.
In a month, I didn’t have time enough to shoot a lot (actually quite bad weather …), and, although I am still learning how to master the light with this new equipment, I already have other ideas (moss and fungis), and bought a xenon flash and pod mini, which came with the same perfect packaging.

A world of light and fun awaits
Hi guys, after watching many of Ben’s YouTube tutorials for quite a while, I bought a pack of lighting equipment and found them to be of very good quality in both design and manufacturing. Haven’t had much time to use them but found them a little tricky at first but getting used to them, learning to get them in close enough to the subject and can see endless opportunities to capture macro abstracts. I found the controller wheel a little fiddly so pleased that you have put the controls on an app, however wouldn’t work on my mobile android poss a screen protector issue as it works brilliantly on my iPad. Now the seasons are changing hopefully plenty of fun to be had with the various set ups.

Unlocking a new world of photography
The ultraviolet lighting arm is a must-have for this surreal photography world. Simple setup – I produced fantastic otherworldly images in minutes. Just get used to working in the dark and be patient, adjusting exposures. There are lots of resources available on the website. Unlocks new creative possibilities with unique glowing results unlike traditional lighting. Highly recommended for photographers wanting to try something new

UVIVF
Having used and loved the regular arms and the Xenon Flash arms I thought I would try the UV lighting. A good decision. They need a blacked out room and tripods because of long exposures. The results are spectacular and very different. Unlike other UV lights I have tried, these give off a pure UV light. If you are considering trying UVIVF photography you will enjoy it. I have 3 arms but plan to buy two more. I can recommend the Adaptalux UV arms.

A different view of the world.
I added 3 UV arms to my Adaptalux outfit. UVIVF has added a new dimension to my photography. They are easy to use (a white handkerchief is an easy way to see where the UV light falls). The results can be spectacular. If you are thinking about buying UV Arms go for it. You will not regret it.
Ken
Full of versatility and full of fun.
Really love the system. Easy to set up shoot, and control the settings via the app for the main pod. The mini pod is great for side or backlight. Just had one shoot with uv light so far and can’t wait to do more.
Guillaume
Superb ease of use for macro photography
In fairness since receiving my kit I have not had the time to give it the justice it deserves (partly due to recently completing a very complex desktop publishing project, in between regular hospital visits for cancer treatment).
However the tests I have done show the future potential of the lighting system admirably. being able to accurately position the continuous lights and selectively control individual light output via the app is fantastic.
I am sure my initial kit will be complemented in future as I gain more experience of Adaptalux Studio in a macro rig environment.

Small Flash
Until now I did not have much time to use the flashes. But what I did was very successful.
I really like the flexibility with the flex-arms. You don’t get such a result with a normal flash or continuous lighting.
Until now I am very happy with the flash and it can only get better!!
