The Vello EZ-Flip Gel Set
contains 30 assorted color gels
and a reversible silver reflector/
black flag to control the light
from your camera-mounted
flash. When the light from
your flash casts a color that
is unflattering or harsh on
skin tones, use one of the
gels to acquire the correct
shade. If you want to get
creative with the color in your
photos, quickly insert one
of the gels into the EZ-Flip
Gel Holder and watch how
your photograph transforms.
With the included EZ-Flip Gel
Holder, you can position any
of the assorted gels in front
of your flash with a flick of
the wrist, and move it back
out of the way just as quickly.
It fastens to the flash head
via the hook-and-loop strap
instead of the hassle of rubber
bands and tape. Everything fits
in the included nylon carrying
case, which makes this a
great portable tool that won’t
take up space in your bag.

2. Wrap the hook-and-loop
strap around the head of

way at your convenience.

Holder onto the flash head

Colored gels can be used for
coloring, warming, cooling, or
color correcting your photos.
. Select a colored gel and
slide it behind the gel
holder tabs.
2. Position the gel holder in
front of the face of the flash.
Tip: Each side of the gel holder
has tabs which can be used with
multiple gels together for dierent
color combinations.

The black flag is used when
you need to control the spill
light from your flash. This is
helpful for blocking light from
your subject, or when you do
not want light bouncing to
other areas and aecting your
photos. Typically, this is used in
o-camera strobe applications.
USING THE BLACK FLAG
. Insert the black flag into
either side of the EZ-Flip
Gel Holder so that the
silver side is facing the flash.
2. Position the EZ-Flip Gel
Holder so that the black flag
blocks the light of the flash
from the area you do not
want illuminated.

The silver reflector is used
to bounce light while adding
a saturated, soft look. This
is ideal when shooting
portraits or close-ups.
. Insert the reflector into
either side of the EZ-Flip
Gel Holder so that the
silver side is facing the flash.
USING THE SILVER REFLECTOR
2. Adjust the angle of your
flash’s head so that it is
pointing upwards.
3. Flip the gel holder to a 45°
angle above the front of
the flash for optimal use.
You can then make fine
adjustments to dial in the
amount light you want to
bounce.
Tip: You can use any of the color
gels in combination with the silver
reflector.
