Hey guys, as per title, anyone has bought and used this before and can comment?

I'm looking to soften my light a little for outdoor or high ceiling use. Right now I have a DIY acrylic board that's just 90º to the flash head and not doing much except in small spaces, and a gary fong lightsphere clone. Both aren't very efficient.

Anyone?

To be honest, I have one but I've never used it (or my other Lumiquest's) because I never liked the idea of sticking velcro onto my 580EXII


Cheers,

I own and have used for years now and love the full LumiQuest Pro Max system. I highly recommend saving your money and getting the full kit: LINK (external link)

I got one from eBay for something like $3. It's not bad. Better than straight on flash but theres no substitute for a good bounce. If you can get one cheap its worth trying out.

I have the 80-20 Pro Max and the Quik Bounce. I think these 2 are all anyone should need for pretty much any type of shooting. I've been very pleased with mine and Lumiquest cannot be beat when it comes to customer service. I had a little issue with a piece of Velcro losing its adhesive and Lumiquest sent me an entire new system as a replacement.

Great stuff.
