Godox FS-R Single-Contact Folding Hot Shoe Riser
Product Description
The Godox FS-R Single-Contact Folding Hot Shoe Riser is a clever and compact accessory designed to give photographers more flexibility when using small on-camera flashes. By creating a physical separation of up to 30 mm between your camera body and the flash unit, this riser helps to reduce the "flat" look often associated with direct on-camera lighting. Its unique foldable, two-joint design allows for precise tilting and positioning, making it an essential tool for those who want to experiment with bounce lighting or more creative flash angles without needing a full-sized bracket.
This riser is specifically engineered for use with lightweight, single-contact flashes, making it a perfect match for the Godox iM and iT series. It is an ideal solution for street photographers, travel enthusiasts, and candid portrait shooters who use compact mirrorless or rangefinder-style cameras. Because it is so small and lightweight, it can live permanently in your camera bag or even a pocket, ready to be deployed whenever you need to add a bit of height or tilt to your lighting setup.
A common issue with compact flashes is that their low profile can sometimes cause the lens to cast a shadow in the frame, or lead to "red-eye" in portraits. The FS-R solves this by elevating the flash by approximately 30 mm, clearing the lens barrel and providing a slightly higher angle of light. It also addresses the need for portability; unlike rigid risers, the two-joint mechanism allows the FS-R to fold down into a tiny 2.8 x 2.4 x 1.9 cm package, ensuring your camera rig remains as streamlined as possible.
By using the FS-R, you can transform a simple direct flash into a more versatile light source. The adjustable joints mean you can tilt your flash upwards to bounce light off a ceiling for a softer look, or angle it slightly to the side to create more dimension on your subject's face. Designed to securely support equipment up to 300 grams, this all-metal and high-quality composite riser provides a stable connection for your flash while maintaining a sleek, professional black finish that matches your camera gear.
