Hopefully a decent tripod manufacturer will come along and do this, one day. In the past Ive been hired to shoot eyelash campaigns where I needed the eye and the eyelashes completely in focus. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a tripod attachment that could hold angled reflectors in place so we didn't have to traipse around everywhere with extra support plamps to be able to do this.

I tape kitchen aluminium foil on one side and white printer paper on the other. My favourite macro reflectors are the homemade ones I have made out of A4 pieces of cardboard. Typical light loss is up to about two stops, so adding an extra reflector can give you an extra ¼ - ½ stop. Using A ReflectorĬommercial Metz flash reflector. They're not rocket science or brain surgery. White plastic milk jugs cut into shape make a great reflector too. One of the oldest methods is to use a simple note card and rubber band on your flash.
