The perfect macro strobe for any user
The Most Powerful Compact Strobe
Introducing the Backscatter Atom Flash — a small flash with BIG power. Underwater photographers can now capture pro-level lighting in a compact, travel-friendly package. With an underwater guide number of ƒ28, the Atom Flash packs serious flash power for its size, lighting everything from the biggest wide-angle scenes to tiny macro subjects. Its 110° flash beam delivers smooth, even, round coverage, while flat or dome diffusers expand and soften the beam further. Snap on the Optical Snoot OS-2, using built-in 1,000-lumen white and red focus lights make pinpoint macro lighting effortless.
The Atom Flash shares the same advanced flash modes as the bigger Hybrid Flash, plus some new tricks of its own. Enjoy 11 manual power levels, Smart Control TTL for Sony, Olympus, and OM System cameras, wireless remote triggering, high-speed sync, and a low-power mode with 10 extra steps of fine adjustment—perfect for dialing in subtle light balance.
A super-bright auto-rotating LCD clearly displays flash settings, shots remaining, and battery life. With over 600 full-power flashes on a single charge, the Atom Flash keeps shooting as long as you do.
Compact, powerful, and travel-ready, the Backscatter Atom Flash delivers professional performance in a rugged, portable design—making it the ultimate strobe for photographers who demand maximum power in minimal size.
The Atom Flash and Optical Snoot OS-2 were designed together for the best transmission of light between the strobe and snoot.
The Optical Snoot OS-2’s high-quality optics concentrate the flash beam, providing enough power to snoot even in bright, high ambient light conditions, like shallow reefs. Paired with the Atom Flash’s built-in white and red focus lights, it offers “what you see is what you get” accurate aiming—wherever the focus light points, the flash follows. Two included aperture cards, circular and oval, each with four different-sized holes, allow photographers to light subjects of varying shapes and sizes.
