Innovative Godox device significantly enhances photography with compact flash units
The photography world is abuzz with the latest accessory from Godox, the TR-S TTL Hot Shoe Riser. This innovative device aims to enhance your flash photography experience by providing a 30mm height boost, eliminating lens shadows and avoiding blocked frames, especially beneficial for larger lenses.
Key features and benefits include full TTL (Through The Lens) and HSS (High-Speed Sync) support, ensuring automatic and high-speed flash synchronization works flawlessly without manual adjustments. With wide compatibility across multiple camera brands, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Olympus, and more, this versatile accessory is a valuable addition for photographers who switch between systems or use multiple cameras.
For manual flash users, the TR-S TTL Hot Shoe Riser offers a clean, single-contact design, providing a simple interface for mounting flash units without excess bulk or complexity. The device also retains all the contacts between flash and camera, ensuring all TTL and other dedicated features are retained.
Redeye reduction is another key benefit of the TR-S TTL Hot Shoe Riser, and it offers a tilting platform, providing the bounce option that is missing from small flash units. This feature is particularly well-suited to the range of mini flash units that Godox has been launching recently, such as the iM20, iM22, or IT30Pro.
