Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
A dramatic, eye catching photo can mean dramatic profits. Getting a well exposed photo is extremely important. Photographers often turn to a flash to help light the scene. The problem is that flash can cause harsh reflections or glare spots or create deep shadows that distract viewers. This little, portable universal external flash diffuser will prevent those problems when using a flash. Simply put the unit over the camera's flash, point and shoot. The light will be softened and your photos will be well exposed, without the harsh glare spots.

4 out of 5 stars Needs A little Work   October 31, 2008

After receiving this product I noticed how cheaply it's made. But, I really needed a small diffuser and this item fits that bill. During assembly I notice that the small sleeves that the strap fits through can and will come off after a few installs. So I made a slight modification to the unit. First I took that strap off and set it aside. Second I found some velcro that i had lying around the house and cut it into smaller strips and attached them to the inside flaps of the diffuser. The other half of the the velcro was attached to to my flash unit. Now when I need to place it on my flash, I can just attach each flap onto the flash unit. It holds very well. If you want you can put the strap around it and secure the strap. Don't bother putting the strap through the sleeves, they'll just tear of anyway. When removing the diffuser, just peel the flap off gently so you don't pull the velcro off. It works great.

The product was not as sturdy as I expected it to be and the velcro strap broke right off the bat. I think that I should have gotten an omni-bounce instead...

Very good for the price, I like that you can fold it and keep it in your pocket. It takes a bit of time to unfold it, but after a while you'll fold it and unfold it quickly.

It kind of works, but not really, on my SB-400.
I have an old non-ttl Vivitar flash that it might work better with, but I haven't had the time to use it with that unit yet. It seems to let too much flash through and not do very much diffusing, but hey, you get what you pay for!
