Abstract: A system comprising a flashlight and continuous light reflector arm for fixing to a photographic apparatus, a flashlight, a continuous light unit, or to film or video cameras. Flash units are often mounted centrally onto a camera causing the flash to come from the same direction from which the photograph is taken. The system allows targeted illumination from a direction different from that from which the photograph is taken, does not require complicated measures with regard to flash control, manages with comparatively little light power and does not further influence the center of gravity of the camera. The system is composed of camera and flashlight or continuous light unit, including a fixing arm fixed to the photographic apparatus by a fixing means and includes means for fixing a reflection element, wherein the reflector arm is designed such that the reflection means is positioned laterally alongside the photographic apparatus.
