Product Description

The Pocket Bouncer enlarges and redirects light at a 90° angle from the flash to soften the quality of light and distribute it over a wider area. While no exposure compensation is necessary with automatic flashes, operating distances are somewhat reduced.Application: To soften flash light quality with minimal light loss; to be used with slaves or alone where low ceilings are not available, or where more direct but soft fill light is desired.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Little Bounce Goes A Long Way, July 1, 2008

I have a Canon 430EX flash unit and I wanted to be able to add some bounce ability and control, with or without a ceiling present. Then it also depends on the height of the ceiling that is present. This intelligent little unit unfolds and attachs to Velcro(tm), hook-n-loop fastened around the flash head. I purchased the LUMIQUEST Cinch Strap - Easily attach and remove flash bounce as I did not want to attach the double sticky-back Velcro(tm) directly to my flash unit. The Cinch Strap takes care of that and works like a champ.
This unit folds nicely for inserting a space the size of a small camera (read Canon S5 IS) and installs in seconds and allows one to go from shooting with the flash unit head in a direct vertical position down to a few angles below directly vertical.
It bounces light well and works great with the TTL features of the Canon 430EX and Canon camera.
It works to soften light and to soften shadows.
It gets a great THUMBS UP!! from me.

Bought the Pocket Bouncer specifically for a wedding I was shooting, and was very happy with the results. It fits perfectly on my Canon Speedlite 430ex Flash. Very easily folds up and stores in the pocket of my camera bag. A must for anyone shooting with a mounted flash.

This product does a surprisingly good job spreading the light from my SB400 flash. I really like that it folds flat, so it can fit anywhere, even in my pocket!
