Blitzgerät frei plazieren


Explanation:
I'm not sure what the exact German expression would be, but this is what is meant.

Cameras are equipped with a "shoe". The "shoe" is the adapter where a flash can be installed, usually located on top of the camera. "Off-shoe shooting" means that the flash has been detached from the camera to achieve different lighting effects.

agree  Cetacea: mit "entfesselt blitzen". Das kann aber durchaus auch drahtlos erfolgen; der Punkt ist einfach, dass der Blitz nicht im Blitzschuh steckt. Siehe auch: http://olypedia.de/Oly-e-Book:Erfolgreich_blitzen

Fotographieren mit Blitz ohne den Blitzschuh zu benutzen


Explanation:
The shoe is the Blitzschuh alright but this answer needs work
They do use Shooting in German

Example sentence(s):
  • Blitzschuh einer Spiegelreflexkamera mit typischem großem Mittenkontakt und Zusatzkontakten für weitere Blitzfunktionen

neutral  Cetacea: That's exactly what "entfesselt blitzen" means, and that's the technical term in German.

  -> Yeah, that seems to be the correct term, but entfesselt sounds very strange, as if it originated in advertizing
