Comments about Adorama Adorama 4 Leaf Barndoors for Budget Flash:
There are obvious holes on the base for screws etc. so that you can secure them to the lights, but didn't come with any. I am still waiting after a month for a reply from the buyer about whether this is the norm.Came with my Budget light kit. I recommend you pull this from the kit as it is the only negative item in it.

I use these in my studio on the bf0160's. They are on the lights at all times. They are made out of metal and are secure on the lights. They work like any barn door.

Comments about Adorama Adorama 4 Leaf Barndoors for Budget Flash:
These are loose doors and do not stay adjusted if on an angle. These are not the best made product. If you can get something else you might want to do that. They came withn the kit I bought and I can make them work but of everything that cam in the kit these are the worse item.

I bought 2 barn doors to use on my 2 JTL Mobilights as accessory lights in my studio. They fit the lights perfectly and are smooth and snug moving barn doors.

For the low price you get an adequate barndoor. Flaps are small and cannot be positioned precisely. However, if you're looking for an inexpensive crude barndoor, this will do the job.

I picked up two sets to use for my location assignments. The barndoors are quick and easy to attach, much stronger than the older models were. They are an incredible value to modify portable flashes that give you the look of an expensive studio set up. I typically carry four flash units and these give me a great way to sculpt light at a great price.

Comments about Adorama Adorama 4 Leaf Barndoors for Budget Flash:
After reading the first three reviews, I'm sure that I must have gotten a bad one. While the construction material is quite good and the fit is great, even on my other monolights (I haven't tried it on a shoe mount), the doors on my unit just will not stay in place except when fully extended or closed down to just a slit. If it is just a case of getting a bad one then this would be a great bargin. Would be nice to have a set of snap on filters and a honeycomb availeble for purchase also. I can't say I would not reccommed this item because first of all I'm not certain that it wasn't just the one I got and also other than the one fault the overall quality is very good, maybe I'll order another just to see.

Comments about Adorama Adorama 4 Leaf Barndoors for Budget Flash:
these barn doors should be in the bags of every one who seriously works with off-camera flash's. and even though it was designed for Adorama's budget flash it will fit on other types as well.
Will fit a vivitar 285hv perfectly
canon 580ex II using the four tightening screws
Im sure many others as well.
the only Con is that the doors can not be positioned precisely.

GREAT VALUE for the money! Does not fit real snuggly on my flash head but I can build the surface up with gaffers tape to snug it up. Great for getting some unusual effects with shoe mount flash.
