These have been release just a few days ago. Look very promising. Cannot wait to get my hands on some

I can't find a life expectancy on the wires......wire breaks easily after a few bends in the same place......
They look like a cool idea but if I bend it 10 or 15 times and the wire breaks I will be upset .......I looked
at the expoimaging site and may have over looked it ...................

I've been wondering about that myself. According to ExpoImaging, the wires "are not pipe cleaners", but are "made from coiled steel that is extremely durable"

I'm thinking they look pretty cool.

Posted a review of the bounce card: FlashBender Bounce Card

Rods are definitely OK . Easy to bend. Holds the shape well. One of the best modifiers I've seen so far.



Side-by-side with Honl and Demb:

After experimenting some more (now with the Small and Large reflectors), I have to say that they are very versatile.
The larger reflector is on a heavy side. May not be suitable for every flash, but since it's intended mostly for off-camera work it should not be a problem in the majority of cases.
