Each reflecting mirror in T-shape configuration generates synergy effect providing 100° circular beam all around enabling free and flexible strobe position without considering camera's view angle. Together with Inon arm system supporting free strobe position, the T-shape Twin Flash supports free and creative lighting even in wide shooting.

A strobe with single reflecting mirror type has rectangular reflecting mirror emitting oval beam creating blind corners if the strobe is not properly aligned with a camera. So strobe position has to be rather limited to evenly cover all image area even using an arm system allowing free strobe position.

Larger light emitting area of two reflecting mirrors, together with T-shape configuration design, creates less and soft shadow.
Attaching diffuser in combination with T-shape Twin Flash prevents washout.
