Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint II 16" Soft, Beauty Dish Flood Reflector for all Model II Monolights.:

I wanted to dip my toes into the water with this kind of modifier and was very pleased with my initial testing. I did most of my initial shooting with the white cloth in place, to get more diffusion and was pleased with the results.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint II 16" Soft, Beauty Dish Flood Reflector for all Model II Monolights.:

this is an amazing product.
it provides excellent and high quality light at a fraction of the cost of some other brands.

it works best with a sock, but what no one has mentioned is that the sock comes with it.
it helps diffuse and soften the light.

I looove this product and would get it all over again.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint II 16" Soft, Beauty Dish Flood Reflector for all Model II Monolights.:

Great product for the price point.
It came with a sock that helps diffuse the light. My only request is that it should be white on the inside instead of silver and 22in.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint II 16" Soft, Beauty Dish Flood Reflector for all Model II Monolights.:

Used this beauty ring in a photo shoot with one foam core board as a hair light type reflector and one small gold reflector as a fill light and the results were excellent. I set the camera with a meter reading and got the reading I needed. I used the beauty ring on a Flashpoint II 620 set at about a 45 degree angle and at 1/4 power at about a meter away and about a foot over and aiming down on the subject. Couldn't ask for a better result. I got the results I wanted. I may get another one and coat it with white duct tape and see if it softens the light anymore. As it is the beauty ring gave me great color replication although I was about a half stop off on the exposure. Not a hard fix. This works great, is build fairly sturdy, snaps on in an instant so the set up is easy and take down to change to a soft box or umbrella is no problem. Good value for the money.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint II 16" Soft, Beauty Dish Flood Reflector for all Model II Monolights.:

Good unit for using a 3/2 flash ratio.

Also there is a sock available here that fits it great - Speedotron Elastic Style LightSox Flash Diffuser for 16" & 20" Reflectors. Mfr. Part: 24512; SKU: SZ2451

I would recommend the sock be used with the dish for best results.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint II 16" Soft, Beauty Dish Flood Reflector for all Model II Monolights.:

Its not that bad, but its not really that good either. The light isn't as diffuse as it should be for a beauty dish. I really wish it had an inner white coating rather than the brushed aluminum. I would love to find a sock to fit it. But, you can't beat the price-point. I mean, a beauty dish [$]- whodathunkit?
