If you use a Lumiquest Cinch Strap to attach your Promax System, you can slip it into the wallet along with the rest of the items. As CDS says, the wallet is very useful.

Quantum have taken a lesson out of Lumiquest's book - the main part of the folding softbox for the Qflash goes into a similar (but larger) wallet. There's a metal tube, looking a little like a bare bulb enhancer, that is also needed - but the two items together are easier to store in the bag than many modifiers.

The Qflash parabolic reflector and the flat diffuser is a bit of a nuisance with the space it takes - though I make room for it to keep the flash tube of my Qflash protected. I'm sure those who have Lightspheres and similar feel the same way about them as I do about the Qflash reflector - indeed, I'm resenting the space the Stofen for my 580EX takes up in my bag, especially as I don't really use it.

Do you mind posting some images taken with your setup? Can you take portraits with this setup?

Thanks.

Sure. I made this diffuser mainly for improving the protrait skin tone.

Direct flash
