This is good for shots to cover crowd and not for portrait

This works very well with the built in strobes of most cameras. it has a plastic mounting plate that slides into the hot shoe, and the diffuser just slides into a slot in the plate, and is easy and quickly removable.

I love it!! The sphere allows for a big light to take great photo. This is a must have for an photographer.

Absolutely the best! I use it on interior photography mostly, lighting up an entire room. The best.....!

Incredible, it somehow removes all shadows and makes a full power flash soft light!!! Worth it. ( not sponsored by anyone)

As odd as it looks, it works! I really like the collapsible model. Otherwise the bulky shape and size would be an issue. The design offers flexibility and use depending on the situation. It is obvious that a lot of thought, testing, and use went into this product. iIt has every appearance of being a durable product, but I I am confident that it will stand up to the test.

I got the lightsphere for Christmas and tested it out for a week in various settings. Here are my observations:1. It has difficulty staying on the camera - fell off during a photo shoot which was sort of embarrassing. The method of attachment is a velcro strap which is supposed to fix it in place via friction - it doesn't work well.2. But the bigger problem is that it does not noticeably improve the lighting you get by simply bouncing your flash off the ceiling without the lightsphere.If it noticeably improved my photos, I would pay the ($). But since it didn't, I'm sending it back.

Works to really soften up those harsh shadows produced from on-camera flash!

Diffuses the light pretty well. However, build feels kinda cheap and the lid to the cup sometimes pops off, which is annoying when you’re constantly snapping it back in. Not sure how significant the difference between the cloud and clear models is.

What I like: As basic as it gets. Truly plug 'n play. Used it for some candid shots and the light quality made ME look good!

It shouldn't be that difficult to throw it on and use it but I haven't found this to be very flattering. My clients complain about how bright it is too. I don't see a huge difference between this and using the diffuser on the off-camera flash to be honest. I'm thinking about returning it because it's not doing anything for me and I just don't see myself using it. It seems to only serve a very specific purpose and I haven't found that yet.

I like the construction and mounting. I did casual shots before a high school graduation, pulled the flash for the event. The staging area had a good low white ceiling, good for bouncing. When I do it again I would take off the dome to get more light from above. The shadows behind were a slight bit heavy. It is a nice piece, I just need to work with it more. I always rubber banded a white card to my flash, thought the lightsphere was a step in the right direction.

It does the job but it's a little bulky, not that easy to put on the speedlite, and the hard plastic dome piece falls off sometimes.

I enjoy this product. Works well in the environment I work in.

I've always wanted a way to balance the color and lighting in a photo without the hassle of multiple off-axis flashes or soft boxes. I'm amazed that something so simple can transform a photo so effectively.

After having issues while shooting in areas with high ceilings, I thought Id give it a try. I followed Gary's youtube vids and tried it both inside and outside. Really like the softness and versatility. Easy to pack and attach as well. I even use the dome provided when shooting direct and its still not flat. Money well spent.

gary fong lightesphere works to soften and make on camera flash less ugly. i lost my old collapsible one and the non collapsible is awkward to travel with.

I have used them in 2 weddings and a church party. This has become one of my tools. Henry M. Allen

I found the speed mount easy to use and easy to mount to my flash. Once attached it held the light sphere in place quite firmly and when I was finished shooting, I found it easy to remove. Very satisfied with the way it attaches to the flash. However, the dome that fits on top of the sphere is a different story.

I did some test in different conditions and the tesults were pretty good.

Bought it based upon Gary's own comparison video. Obviously done under closely controlled circumstances by a biased "reviewer," but it is in fact a pretty useful device. Not perfect due to taking up a goodly chunk of room in the camera bag (yes, even folded), more suited to an event photographer than a casual shooter. Apart from this, it does do a nice job of softening the light.

Have used one of these for only 3 event shoots. Noticed last night that it is cracked. It does what it is supposed to do as far as diffusion, but it's not much for durable.

particularly good for indoor use where bounce flash can be used. Also used it straight on outdoors, where it provides a bit of softening.

Works good indoors when the cealings are too high to bounce the flash. The front doom could hold better. Over all its a good option.

I have been using Gary lightsphere since 2007. So this was a mandatory purchase. But I'm still using both.
