Yaaayyyy!!! I was the guy that suggested the Kobra! Glad you got your hands on one and that you love it! :D

I can’t find one of these for sale anywhere. Do you know where I can buy one?

@rileyphotos 2 жыл бұрын

Sadly I think they are only on sale in the US, however if you try Amazon.com you should find one, failing that, I believe B&H stock them and offer shipping to the UK. Hope that helps, cheers. Phil

I have a Metz 45, and years ago I bought Lumi Quest reflectors.

It’s interesting. Before seeing the Cobra modifier, I was thinking about trying metallic tape on the interior back side of a Sto-Fen style bounce dome or even a Fong-like dome. Cobra is a step ahead of me! 😁

Hi Matthew, I like the tape idea, let us know how you get on 📷😊

True Paul was in same position but he didnt have flash pointing up in first shot. Everyone knows light is flattering with bounce

Odd that you couldn't fit the cobra onto your SB900, I've got mine on not only the SB900 & SB910 but also my chunky Godox AD200 Pro. Definitely the best flash modifier I've ever used 👍

Hey, guys. A great way to mount any bounce card - or flash modifiers like the Kobra - is instead of mounting it to the broad side of your flash, mount it to the narrow end. That way when you tilt your camera to Portrait orientation (vertically) the modifier stays above the lens. And switching between Landscape and Portrait orientation is a breeze without having to physically reposition the modifier on the speedlight itself. And the bonus is that Paul won't have the problem of his Metz flash head flopping forward :) In this video at the 3:51 mark it's demonstrated. When I saw this I never mounted my flash modifiers on the broad side ever again! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5-AY9WnmL6wlZc.html

That’s great advice Jason. Sadly it wouldn’t work with the KOBRA because the reflective surface is inside and so the unit is moulded enabling the flash head to embed inside it, rather than behind it as you would with a flash card. It’s a great tip for anyone using fan shaped diffusers or flash cards though, thanks for sharing it with us, and thanks for watching 👏📷😊

@jasonbodden8816 2 жыл бұрын

This is what I mean. Your flash still goes inside the Kobra but instead it's mounted this way. Have a look :) Probably should have sent you this little vid instead of the other one lol. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9mCddGhm5y5nnk.html

I recommend the Peter Gregg Better Bounce Card too.

Lots of places have discontinued selling the Kobra modifier. Why is that? I still want one, mind you. Can't find an online store that sells it though.

I wonder why it’s so hard to find, I’ll try to contact them and find out. Thanks for watching 👍🏻, I really appreciate it 👏📷😀

Can’t find this product anywhere. Website doesn’t have any updates either. Every item is just out of stock. No updates on Instagram or Facebook. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@rileyphotos Жыл бұрын

I wonder if they have a supply issue, you’re right, the website is all out of stock but dated 2023 so let’s hope they get more in soon. If it helps, I’ve just looked online and this site shows them in stock and does free worldwide shipping, I’ve never used them myself, but might be worth a look? 1outlets.uk/kobra-flash-modifier-full-system/pid/16291130379011/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9JfsvfnQ_QIVhdDtCh0zaQLTEAAYASAAEgJnz_D_BwE

I was wondering the same thing. I can't find this thing nowhere. I bought one a few years ago and I absolutely love it!!!. I wish I would have bought two of them.

I just watched this and it doesn't seem to exist anymore. Is there a new version of this maybe?
