The Vello OCS-FAC/

OCS-FAN is a ﬂexible

rod with an integrated

TTL cable that mounts

directly to your camera’s

hot shoe. Ideal for macro

and portrait photography,

it allows photographers

of all levels to experiment

with ﬂash angles while

maintaining all of the TTL ﬂash

functionality of the camera.

The TTL rod sets your ﬂash

o-camera and enables you

to achieve a more natural

or dramatic look. It also

reduces the harsh shadows

of a direct, on-camera ﬂash

as well as the possibility of

red-eye when shooting in

dim light. The gooseneck

design of this TTL rod makes

it possible to be creative

with ﬂash angles either from

above or the side. But once

you’ve decided on an angle,

the sturdy metal construction

assures that your ﬂash will

stay in place while you shoot.

secure.

MOUNTING THE FLASH

camera and ﬂash are

SHOOTING WITH THE FLEXIBLE TTL ROD
