It seems that most folk use a combination of gaffer tape, velcro, paperclips, ruber bands and milk bottle tops to hold gels in place on flashguns.

Does anyone make a Gel "system" for Canon flash that is a little less "Heath Robinson"

I use sheets of gel cut out and attached with velcro, it works well. Another solution is to use colored stofens, or a white stofen with a gel underneath it beside the flash head. Neil (I forget his surname, he's on DWF) also cuts out about half the front of the white stofen.

Bingo!

That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks,
