External flash accessories

In addition to choosing an external flash, there is a wide range of different external flash accessories to complete your desired setup. This includes diffusers and colour filters, as well as battery holders and adapters. The latter categories make shooting on location even easier.

Using external flash

Cameras are generally equipped with built-in flash, but these are often difficult to aim or adjust. An external flash is the solution for this. An external flash also gives a lot of creative freedom.

The light from an external flash can be manipulated in all kinds of ways. Think of bouncing the light against a background. This prevents harsh shadows, for example. That's why it's useful to buy an external flash that can turn in different directions, but the right accessories can also help you with this.
