 A Cinch for LumiQuest products July 1, 2008
I got this Cinch Strap in conjunction with the LumiQuest ProMax Mini SoftBox and the LumiQuest ProMax Pocket Bouncer and I personally feel that this is a great 'package' for shooting images of people in a room or outdoors.
This Cinch Strap I felt beneficial as I did not want to place the included double-sticky-back hook-n-loop Velcro(tm) directly onto the flash head.
This strap takes care of that issue for me in that it straps around the flash unit head and fastens to itself and then the various flash diffusers attach to it.
I found the combined price and ease of use as well as aesthetics to be well worth it.
It gets a great THUMBS UP!! from me.
A great accessory for LumiQuest flash modifiers. June 6, 2008
Use the LumiQuest Cinch Strap instead of the standard method of securing flash modifiers, (which is to attach small Velcro squares to your flash permanently). To use the strap, you simply wrap it around your flash first, then attach your accessory to the Velcro side of the Cinch Strap.
The rubbing backing which touches your flash, grips enough to ensure that your flash modifier stays securely on your flash. You can remove the Cinch Strap at anytime and reuse it over and over. The Cinch Strap works with all LumiQuest flash modifiers and is highly recommended.
 It works, but is it really worth it? May 27, 2008

Like others, I didn't want to attach sticky velcro pads to my nice, new Nikon SB600 flashgun. The cinch strap does an admirable job of attaching the diffusion hood to the flash, but it doubles the assembly time. The soft rubber triangular pattern on the underside of the strap grips the flash body very well, but doesn't lock it completely solid. It does get displaced slightly after a few mins of manhandling the camera. If you put the flash on a tripod, this is not a concern, but if you're hand-holding the camera and moving about a lot, it might be.
I have bitten the bullet, stopped using the cinch strap and just stuck the 4 pieces of velcro to the flashgun now. Much quicker to set up and holds the diffuser more rigidly.
Great alternative to adhesive velcro! January 6, 2008
The cinch strap is great, so you don't have to glue velcro to your flash. It makes the diffuser more interchangeable, if you have more than one flash, or can let a friend borrow it for theirs. Also, with velcro glued to the flash, I wasn't sure if it would still fit into its case.
Works fine. Shipping cost absurd. December 18, 2007

C'mon, it's a velcro strap. Serves the purpose. I bought this along with some other stuff on Amazon. Turned out it was shipped direct from Adorama, with shipping and handling fees more than the item cost. Caveat emptor. Would have been nice if Amazon showed me the additional fees before confirming the order.... Had I known what the shipping cost was, I would have waited until the next time I was in a camera shop to pick up this item.
