Abstract: An adapter connected to a camera providing a rapidly movable support of a camera flash between flash positions favorable to a portrait and a landscape camera orientation, including a annular track, such as provided on a portion of an annular band mounted forward of the camera body, typically concentric with the lens axis. The arcuate portion provides a track on which a flash holder rides and is retained, wherein the flash holder includes opposing rolling members to engage parallel members of the arcuate portion therebetween and roll thereon as the flash holder moves from one location to another. By substantially surrounding the lens instead of the camera body, the present invention provides a flexible compact flash adapter which further protects the camera lens.
