The Optical Snoot

The Backscatter Optical Snoot is an essential addition to the Mini Flash 2, designed to enhance your macro photography capabilities. This tool allows for precise lighting control, enabling photographers to highlight specific subjects while minimizing background distractions.

How the Optical Snoot Works

The Optical Snoot utilizes a beam of light that can be adjusted to fit the subject you are photographing. This feature is particularly useful for macro shots, where you want to illuminate tiny details without spilling light on the surrounding area.

• Aiming Light: The snoot features a bright LED aiming light that projects the same beam pattern as the flash. This allows you to visualize the exact placement of the light before taking the shot.
• Aperture Cards: Included with the snoot are circular and oval aperture cards that allow you to adjust the size of the light beam. This flexibility is crucial for tailoring the light to your subject's needs.
• Short Duration Modeling Flash: If your subject is sensitive to constant light, the modeling flash can be used to check snoot placement without causing disturbance.
