The PhotoMed R2 Dual Point Flash Bracket allows you to position small, lightweight flash heads on either side of the lens for intraoral views or separate them by as much as 24 inches for anterior esthetic views and lab communication. The bracket utilizes tension hinges between the bracket arms that allow you to change their position while maintaining tension so that the arms do not move while you are shooting.The R2 Bracket was designed to work with DSLR cameras, If you are using a mirrorless camera, you will need the R2 MIrrorless Adapter Kit along with the R2 Bracket. The kit adds a plate between the camera and the R2 Bracket that adds the space necessary so that the bracket does not contact the macro lens (this kit is not part of the R2 Bracket and needs to be seperatly purchased).
Features
