Bouncin' but not behavin'.

The light quality is good, so I have no complaint there. It diffuses the light using layers of frosted translucent plastic but it needs to be very deep to get the light to spread out evenly on the front surface of the device. The large size makes it hard to get it to fit in the camera bag. If you are in a bounce-able situation it's great. Light goes everywhere. The problem is that if you aren't in a white room with a low ceiling, you aren't bouncing anything. Light falls off so quickly and completely, the bounce light can't compete, exposure wise, with the direct light. It is versatile though. The front surface snaps off revealing a small dome diffuser fitted right over the strobe tube. This is good if you want bounce light to be your main light source or if you want the light to travel some distance. I do not like the lack of control in some circumstances though. Sometimes you just need to direct the light with some purpose.
