Diffuser works but I compared to Fong diffuser and for me Fong spread light better

Pops off during use and a pain to use.

The whole Q-series is great and most recommended for serious off-camera flash photography

I bought this to use to photgraph horses in an indoor arena at night. I was hoping it would help prevent the eyes from photographing white, but it did't. It also seemed to scare some of the horses because it is pretty big and they had never seen anything like it before. Im sure it will work fine on people, but I returned the one I bought.

The Flashpoint Q Series Diffuser Dome transforms the harsh, direct Fresnel head output of a standard speedlight into a diffuse bare-bulb style omnidirectional source. The dome illuminates open spaces without evidence of the light source. All parts of the orb emanate equal amounts of light, as the egg-shaped hardbox has no optical focal point, no nasty reflector to gather and direct the ray as they leave a variable-angle flash head. The degree of area penetration softness the translucent white plastic of the Flashpoint Q Series Diffuser Dome creates, exceeds that achieved by rectangular or even polygonal softboxes. The natural effect makes it ideal for gentle direction-less lighting for conference rooms and large meeting rooms. Even weddings and portraits can benefit from employing the dome with supplemental fill lighting from an unobtrusive distance.
Setup and breakdown is a breeze, just a matter of seconds before you are ready to roll. The frame assembly slips over the flash end of the speedlight and secures firmly with a Velcro strap.
Have a blast while lighting this effortless way, without a shadow of a doubt.
