Pretty spendy for $90 each!

@kieranmullen2 - Not really. It's VERY well made, and after having used it for a month or so now, I can tell you it's my favourite flash diffuser. Works great. Wouldn't want to be without it.

I'll say this diffuser is useless, Why? cause the flash gun has its own articulated head, besides, this tiny sphere cannot produce wide enough field of light

I think the best diffuser ever is Gary Fong's Lightshere!

@waynejericho89 - The bigger the light source, the softer the light. As I said in the video, you can use the FlashRight to bounce the light off a wall to your left, right, or behind you, and you have one HUGE light source... the wall. Works very well. I've done it for years with bounce cards, but the FlashRight makes it even easier.

we all know u good "Buddies" with PeterGregg.... > <

[ArtoftheImage]

@ron57405 - Yes, I am good friends with Peter. Doesn't mean he doesn't make excellent products. I've seen many photos done with the FlashRight, and I've seen how it works so I know it does a great job. I will be showing some sample photos soon as I said in the video.

Weird lookin' Tupperware? poor Mr Fong

[MaksAMD]

G.Fong stil the best choice

[gaskelld]

I like the more discreet look of this one but if you're pointing it up to bounce off the ceiling you're going to loose considerable light power as the light has to pass through the semi opaque plastic. This means your flash has to work harder, will get hotter and the batteries will run out sooner. With the Gary Fong it's open at the top (unless you put the diffusion lid on) so the light can travel straight up unhindered.

@rmstudio Very true, sch a small light source doesn't make for great de-fusion and to add to what you say it is actually in fact just a bouncer!

Talking like you know what talking about helps a little, I have a GF in my humble opinion the best in modifiers, looks like Tupperware but if your a pro, how it looks make no difference, proof is in the taste!!

[Lokiwho]

@StephenNorman Agreed. Lol

[StephenNorman]

WOW that thing looks absolutely ridiculous. Anything other than a basic diffusion dome is just unnecessary. Get the flash off the camera either way.

[mikezite]

This video was uploaded 3 months or more ago! Wheres the photos you promised?

[rmstudio]

@ArtoftheImage I will say this though about your friends product he used the mounting system from Gary Fongs system LoL. Which I find pretty dam funny considering usually its the chinese stealing all our designs and ideas this time it was a American Stealing the chinese products design... The irony in it with a gary fongy product is honestly down right hilarious.

[rmstudio]

@waynejericho89 ur absolutely right.. First this is not a "Diffuser" its a light bouncer its "Bouncing" light.." to get soft look The hype about it being the best diffused light is imposssible with that Light "Surface Area" No matter how soft modifier is. "Size" of surface area is very small and will produce barely a slightly more softer light than a direct flash. You can use a standard flash head pointing and bouncing it just like this thing. On the Gary Fong I have to dissagree

[PimpMyFahrrad]

@ArtoftheImage diffusors are made for situations where you don't have white walls (though they do give somewhat better result). I used Lightsphere also (on my 580ex before they stole my camerabag) - in combination with an wide angle lens, it gives stunning results when you point it directly. Size is all that really matters.

Not sure if I will go back to Lighsphere though... will probably switch to Nikon also.

bye bye fong
