Radio Flash for Macro Shooting. The Canon MT-26EX-RT Macro Twin Lite is designed for macro shooting and provides the benefits of radio-flash capabilities. Its two flash heads illuminate up-close subjects, and they give you a guide number of 85.3’ at ISO 100 when fired simultaneously. You also have the option of manually dialing in settings down to 1/512 power.
Configurable Flash Heads. Both of the flash heads are detachable, so you can position them around your subject to produce a range of useful lighting setups. Additionally, you can use Canon’s 2.4 GHz wireless triggering system found in the 600EX II-RT / 430EX III-RT / ST-E3-RT Speedlite Transmitter to easily incorporate other flashes into your lighting configuration. When the heads are attached to the lens, you can rotate them 60° horizontally and 45° vertically. Each head also includes a removable diffuser for greater fine tuning.
Additional Features. The illuminated LCD guarantees that you’ll be able to adjust this flash’s settings even in low light, and the updated white LCD focus-assist lamps help you accurately focus on subjects at close range. This flash is powered by four AA batteries, and its recycling time is from 0.1 to 5.5 seconds.
