Questions & Answers

MARY O : does this fit well on the Nikon SB900? Or is it loose? Want to use it for newborn shots and don't want it to fall off.DENNIS L : I originally purchased it for my SB600 and it works well. Unfortunately is does not fit onto my SB 910.MATTHEW W : Now while it does not lock onto the flash head, it does come with an elastic velcro strap that tightly holds the snoot to the flash head. I have used this snoot multiple times with an issue of it falling off, or even slipping. YMMV, I hope this helps, Matthew
Shopper : Probably a silly question, but can this be used with the Flashpoint R2 LioN Flash? Asking because it looks like it's on a Streaklight 360.JOHN G : It does not fit well on the Flashpoint R2 series of flashes. The opening is much smaller than the flash head. I made the mistake in ordering this one and i now need to order the right one.RON F : I don't know. I use it with Nikon speed lights.ROBERT B : For as inexpensive as these are, it's a must for every studio. There are time when you just want that small shaft of light.
MARCO G : Can this snoot be used with the SB910 flashes?WILLIAM E : Sorry, but I shoot Canon and use Canon Speedlites. I would just read carefully to see which accessory fits which flash, or call Adorama, they will gladly help.THOMAS P : "B" series Flashpoint devices are too small to fit Nikon 910 lights.SCOTT B : I only have SB800s,but they are fairly snug.SAMUEL S : I purchased to use on SB-800's They work well. The SB-900 and SB-910 have larger heads. I am not sure if the snoot would fit.

Great product and fits the v860ii flash nicely

Great snoot, wish it had an option to control the light output more like an adjustable end piece but It does what I need it to do for now.

Shooting with a snoot

I've enjoyed paying with my snoot on artistic portrait shoots. After the standard shots using regular portrait lighting techniques, I'll take several shots using the snoot for a different look.

Works as Advertised

Fits on my old SB-600, but with difficulty. All of my speedlights have LumiQuest UltraStraps on them. The snoot comes with four built-in flaps designed to surround the end of the flash and a strap to be tightened around the flaps. To mount the snoot this way I'd have to remove the UltraStrap, which, if I'm going to switch back to some other light shaping tool, isn't an option. To solve the problem I bent the side flaps out and attached small Velcro patches to them. Now I can get the snoot to mount using the UltraStrap as an anchor. But it works as advertised once you overcome the unfortunate mounting design.

Hood doesn't stay on

Cool product. Does what it should but the Velcro belt that is supposed to hold the hood to the flash doesn't work well. I use a rubber band and it works great but I shouldn't have to do that.

Nice construction but doesn't fit SB25

Picked up this model specifically because I had an old SB-25 I thought I'd use solely for when I needed a gridded snoot or snooted setup in portraits. This model claims to fit an SB-25 but it doesn't. You can make it work, but you literally need to break the plastic pieces on the sides of the flash attachment part. Vertically the flash fits with this, but laterally the SB-25 is too wide to fit the adapter and since it is hard plastic there isn't much give. I ended up just breaking the sides of the adapter off and using gaffer tape to connect the flash. It will fit a 430 EXII head just fine though. The unit is well-constructed and comes with two grids to give you even more control the light. I'd recommend it and give it five stars were it not for the fact that it didn't fit the SB-25 as advertised.

Nice Surpise

Nice surprise, my unit came with two honeycombs. One lets less light pass vs. the other. I love that I now can direct a specific light source in such a compact arraignment as speed-lights.On the CON side, the unit is not collapsable, wish it was. The strap that comes with it to secure it to the speed-light is a little weak. Basically you place a wide rubber band on the flash unit and then squeeze the tabs on the snoot with a velcro strap. This is really not a deal breaker for me.In the photo I enclosed, you can see how I used the snoot to highlight my wife's hair. So, if you like to travel light and demand light control, this unit is very good for that purpose. [...]
