Shopper : can i use this flash on my nikonj1?JOHN N : The Mini SoftBox diffuser will fit on any speedlight flashLOREE N : It did not fit well over my sigma flash, had to cut the corner to fit.Reid C : I have only used this flash on Canon DSLR's and they give off a very powerful burst of light. The key to consistance is to wait until both lights are blinking at a fast pace. I usually wait 3-4 seconds after both lights are blinking to fire the shutter.BOB O : It is just a mini-soft box that simply slides over the head of your external flash...no matter what the brand of flash is.

Nice enough for the price

I don't have a lot of experience with various diffusers, but I like the results from using it at a recent event. Worked well for reducing annoying bright flashes at people and still gave plenty of soft light. Giving it 4 stars because it is difficult to attach with the tight elastic. I'll probably get someone with sewing skills to convert the tight elastic bottom to Velcro to make it easier. The fabric materials make it easy to fold & lay on top of my camera bag. For the price and light weight, I was pleased with the product.

Works very well once you get figure it out.

Works better than expected, however, getting the softbox onto the flash head was quite tricky. There is a trick to doing it, but I found it counterintuitive.

Flashpoint Mini SoftBox Diffuser for Shoe Mount Flashes

Works well softening the light wen shooting straight on the subject. I like the fact that you can take the Velcroed translucent material out of the way to bounce the flash on a wall or ceiling.

Tough to complain about

Does what it's supposed to do, a bit difficult to get on and off though. Came free with a flash that I purchased, so a great little bonus.

Mini soff box is okay

Tried using once it we as a little hard to attach and the light output falls off too much in my opinion.

Great little diffuser

I would recommend this diffuser if it fits your flash. Seems really tight and I cant imagine it fitting anything larger than a flashpoint flash

Could be larger

No instructions with package. Very difficult to get on. Have not had the opportunity to try it out consistently to see if it works as described.

Does not fit on external flash

The opening is too small to fit on my Speedlight. Very disappointing.

Low price, well made soft box for flash

In ordered this product to use on my SB600 flash on my D850, it diffuses the light really well and works great for a soft fill, couldn’t think of anything better to spend 8 bucks on.

Good little diffuser

This works quite well for my needs. I've been using it for macro shots and general indoor photography. I'm using it on a Bolt-VC 310 compact flash which is smaller than regular flash units. It fits fine but I wish it were a bit easier/quicker to slip on. It's so small and lightweight ,,, great to just throw into your gear bag.

Restricted opening to go over flash.

The Softbox is to small to fit over a Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion R2 TTL On-Camera Flash Speedlight For Nikon. I felt like if I stretched it it would rip. I also tried to put the Softbox on a Nikon SB 800. The Softbox was also to small to go over the the SB 800. I had to return the 2 Softboxs that I bought.

First time user

The softbox diffuser is the perfect size for my mini Godox flash. The elastic is very tight and needs both hands to put it on. But that is probably due to it being new. I could tell the difference with and without the diffuser when I was testing it in my room. However, I could not tell the difference during an evening outing. But to be honest, I only had one day to get familiar with using an external flash and softbox.

Wonderful addition

I like the simple nature of SoftBox diffuser and that I can put it in my pocket and use it only when I need to. Nice and compact.

Great low cost solution

Toss it in your pack and go. Light weight, low cost accessory that works well for those situations when you need to diffuse the light and for whatever reason, can't tote along the big stuff. Great for macro in the wild.

Adorama Flash Diffuser

This diffuser works well on my Pentax AF-540FGZ flash. The only drawback is that the opening is tight so it is a bit of a struggle to put it on my flash unit. Other than that, it nicely softens the light. I shoot inside a building with high ceilings so bouncing the flash off the ceiling won't work.

Works fine

I use it on my little Fujifilm EF-X20 flash that I have mounted on an extension arm attached to my XT2 tripod socket which I use for macro photography. Also fits on my Flashpoint Zoom flash. So I just bought another one for the Flashpoint. I have the first one dedicated to my macro outfit.

Will not fit most speedlites and hard to mount on small flash

Construction is appropriate for the price (frayed fabric edges). Unfortunately, the opening on my copy is too small to allow use on most modern on-camera or speedlite flash. When I tried it on an old Vivitar with a small enough head, it was still very hard to attach due to VERY stiff elastic.

Pretty good considering small size

This has been used for a second light in a small portrait set up. Also pets and small product shots. It is pretty small and folds flat so it is easy to keep handy. It is a nice item to have.

Good item, another option for use in flash recommended scenes.

Works good best close up 8-9 feet, center camera on subject, not for bounce ceiling effects.

INCREDIBLE RESULTS FOR [$]

By Jersey M.

This is the best [$]I have ever spent on a photographic product. It does everything a diffuser should at a remarkable price. This simple to use unit eliminates any harsh shadows on portraits and produces consistent results. The fact it lays flat in my bag is another plus. I am ordering another today just in case they raise the price.

Great Bang for the Buck

By Mildoba

Lightweight, snug fitting, easily folds to fit into any case. Great for travel

This diffuser for speedlites features the well recognized design of a softbox and produces the soft, big light that softboxes are famous for resulting in a significant improvement in the quality of flash pictures taken with it. Eliminates harsh shadows and produces a more natural result.

Designed to fit all shoe mount speedlites on the market today. Folds flat for easy storage.

Measures 3.5 x 3.5" when open.
