TP: Diffusers for flash units

A really easy home made diy diffuser for the standard popup flash is... an empty teabag. Try different brands to see different results, and choose one that you like best. I like the big and quite loose bags that are not so dense. This really works :)

I've got a Lumiquest "PROMAX" Softbox that I loved to use with my 3200i since it didn't tilt. I use it with my 5D also but not so much. Useful in the studio too. Gave great results and it folds up to almost nothing. Photos if you need them my friend..


Here is my try at building a bounce setup. I used a thin binder cover and just used a little velcro. You'll notice the design is hijacked from the design of the one SIGMA shows on their website. Only took about 10 mins. You can adjust it forward and backward to determine how much flash goes to the ceiling.

"The Back"


"The Front"


"Firmly Velcro'd"



I'm going to post this in the DIY section too.

Here is a site where Michael Meissner tested several flash modifiers

Follow this thread to the Bubble Wrap Diffuser :)

what about the build quality is lacking? I was considering the DFD pro. Any sample pics?

Here is another with the lightsphere

Hi,
I managed to get a friend of mine to design some flash cards and now I'm helping him to sell them at a very affordable price.
Please click on this link to get more information on the cards and some sample shots.

For ordering, you can PM or email me with qty and your mailing address.

I've used the light sphere and the omnibounce but they are too bulky to put in my bags all the time. These cards are always in my camera bags.

Thanks.
