| | 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, unique inflatable 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. Deflates in seconds and can be stored in your pocket. | |

 Works pretty well for a cheap piece of inflatable plastic.... Aug 05, 2009
By Topher
PROS
====
1. Inexpensive
2. Does what is expected
3. Compact for storage
CONS
====
1. Woah, talk about CHEAP! I mean, I'm almost ashamed to use this thing...the build quality is worse than anything I've seen
2. I can see the draw string that cinches this over the flash just RIP off the plastic after 30 uses.
3. I've never felt like such a dufus as when I pull this out.
4. Being that it's universal, it doesn't fit my 580ex II very snug. (i keep thinking it will fall off...but it never has)
Conclusion
==========
Hmmm, I guess it depends on what your requirements are. It works better (in some cases) than the standard plastic difuser you can purchase for most flashes. It's so cheap looking and being that you blow it up...it's not a confidence builder by any means.
Q&A
===
1. Would I use this professionally? Maybe as a last resort.
2. Would I use this frequently for personal use? Nope, the plastic difuser works well enough most of the time.
3. If I could start over, would I buy this again? That's tough, I probably would...for two reasons - A. It's so inexpensive / B. It's extremely portable (as a photographer, you want to keep all your options open.)
In short, if you have an extra $15 lying around and want to keep your portable lighting options open...it's not a bad idea to have this in your bag. Who knows, maybe it will grow on me...??

 looks odd, works great Apr 09, 2009
By Eugene Bogorad
You do look like a moron while inflating this thing. But then you get a BIG diffuser that took no space in your bag. As lawyers say, 5 minutes of disgrace is worth it ;)

 works well Dec 09, 2008
By S.D. Rogers
This device works well on close up portraits I encounter on the job. The problem is you look like a fool blowing up this odd looking thing prior to taking your shot. If you can get past this, you can make this goofy thing work well for you.

Works surprisingly well Mar 29, 2009
By Candace Denham
I just shot a wedding with this guy and it really diffused and softened the light very well. At first it didn't seem like it would stay on the flash unit but it didn't fall off the entire wedding. It's also nice that it really didn't add any extra weight to my camera.

Better than expected Jul 12, 2009
By Hromit
The product is cheap, simple, but works very well. I ordered two by mistake, gave the second diffuser to a friend who was also delighted.
