Abstract:
The present invention relates to a strobe device including: a strobe main body; a light emitter rotatably coupled to the strobe main body; a variable mechanism capable of changing an illumination direction angle of the light emitter; and a driver-that drives the variable mechanism. The driver includes: a detector that detects that abnormal force is applied to the variable mechanism and a detection responsive controller that controls the driver based on the abnormal force detected by the detector. This can achieve the strobe device that can prevent the light emitter from colliding with an obstacle and prevent the driver from being damaged.
