I just received two new Demb products.

Here is a preview: Saucer Flip-it! and Portrait Dish

Saucer looks like a Jumbo with a hood. And Portrait Dish is really huge :D

Here is a quick comparison to Big Flip-it! and Big Bounce:

I will try to post a more detailed review soon.

    I love my old JD diffuser (the Large Flip-it), it went through much abuse during all the events I've shot. Works great and easy to pack up. Mine is super abused now, the diffuser itself is almost falling apart, I wonder if there's a way to replace the square diffuser by itself without replacing the entire thing. I have access to a rivet gun. :)

    Great products though, I know others who use it as well, never let us down before. Very worthwhile investments if you tend to shoot much indoor events (but its very effective as a fill-light as well).

    Demb Portrait Dish
    Demb Portrait Dish is growing on me :D
    Posted a review here: Demb Portrait Dish
    It is, indeed, comparable to an umbrella. At least a small one:

    I think the PJ flip-it is the same as the Large Flip-It. I love the original too because it packs so well.

    Just wanted to share that I took Demb Portrait Dish to the beach two weeks ago. Even though it was kind of windy the diffuser was pretty secure on the flash despite the size.

    Here is couple of example (flash is handled on a cord):

    I'm really pleased with the catchlght in the first photo.
