How to make a better bounce card

I found some usefull stuff in Holland
It's available in hobbyshops were you also can buy art painting stuff.
It's called Crepla, a kind of rubber avalable in different sizes and thicknesses. The manufacturere is German called Rayher Hobbykunst D-88471 Laupheim.
I bought the white one 2mm thick and 30x40 cm price 1,10 Euro
You can make 4 ABBC's out of it.

Peter,
Sorry for not posting sooner. I received my package of pre cut items (reflectors and bands). I was very pleased with the results and the cost was negligable. Great idea Peter. Enjoyed the video as well.

Thank you,

Hi Peter. Just watched your video and found it very informative. I have just one question for you though. I think you said you were using a 5D camera and 5600 flash set up. Whilst using your Better Bounce Card what settings to you use on the camera? Do you use it on any of the program settings, and which flash setting do you use for best results?

Although I understand a lot of the settings are a personal preference depending on the subject, existing lighting, etc I just wondered what was a good starting point for my 7D?

I ask because for many years I have used Minolta film cameras and flash units finishing up with a 700si and a 5600HS flash, and achieving good results.

Unfortunately, now I have a 7D my photos don't appear as good. It was only by reading this forum (after I had purchased my 5600HS) that I discovered it wasn't compatible with the 7D and D lenses using ADI. Does TTL still work with this combination?

I have now bought a 3600HSD for full compatibility, but wondered if I would be better off keeping the more powerful flash too if I can achieve good results.

Any suggestions?
