FS: Adjustable Flash Diffusers

S-Man

I'm making these flash diffusers, and people seem to like them. They're made of a durable foam that is flexible but stiff enough to hold it's body.

They are adjustable in that you can cup the top to throw more light forward, or you can fold the back down and fasten it at different levels to adjust the amount of light you want thrown forward.

They're fastened to your flash with velcro straps. You don't have to stick velcro onto your flash, the diffuser wraps around it, holding snugly.

I'm asking $15 shipped in the Lower 48 United States.
I'll also ship to Canada for an additional $2.
The rest of the world will vary in shipping price.
I prefer Paypal, but Money Order is also Do-able.

They measure 8.5" x 11". They fit a Canon 420 EX, 430 EX, 580 EX I-II, and are also available for Nikon flash units. I've done some for SB-600 and SB-800 units.

Let me know what you think.

Here are some results:
Without diffuser, 430EX straight up into 12-14 ft. ceiling:


430EX Straight up into same ceiling with Flash Diffuser. Notice the even soft light and flash fill:

Excellent product. I love these things. Comes in handy when there's not a celing to bounce off of too!

Here's one I made myself, but $15 aint bad. If you want to make a stiffer version for your customers, you can put transparent paper or flexable plastic in between.

That's a nice lookin' one. I like mine thinner around the flash head so I can still press the button easily to adjust the head.
Also, while having a stiff plastic inner grid is ok sometimes, it would not allow it to be folded backwards and adjusted for less light-throw.

Edit: I was shooting an E-Session this past Friday, and the diffuser got bumped off and fell into a pond. It floated under the bridge I was standing on, and I carefully retrieved it on the other side. It was floating like an odd-shaped boat. I had it cupped, and water got inside, and it all got wet. I shook it off and it went right back on the flash. Good as new. I was pleasantly surprised.

Agree with the inner grid. I made two, one stiff, one flex. The flex one is definately more versital.

I also made an elastic band for it too, instead of velcro. I use it for this and my better bounce card. If you want to know how I did it just send me a PM.
