Hi all, here's a question from someone who's been using a DIY'ed acrylic board + two straps of velcro like so:

Yes, it works fine really, but you see, the laws of physics states that a surface for bouncing should be at 45ยบ to the angle of incidence of light, and this bounce card doesn't really work well except maybe in low ceiling areas.

I've been looking at the Lumiquest product lineup, and the quick bounce seems to be something I could use. BUT, i've tried it out in the store, and it's wobbly like heck, much unlike my own DIY with 2 bands of velcro, which made it very sturdy.

Is there any product out there that has good built quality and doesn't flop around and does its job?

I have the old Flip-it, but you could try one of the Demb products (external link). I'll probably try out a Mega Flip-it (external link).
