Review on πŸ“Έ 35PCS Square Full Color Balance Gel Filter Kit with Magic Strap for Canon Nikon Sony Pentax Olympus and Other Flashes - Neewer Universal Photography Speedlite Flash 1.85" x 3.03"/47 x 77 mm by Paul Lee

Revainrating 3 out of 5

OK for the number of gels included.

I wasn't expecting a pro or even a semi-pro for the price and I got what I expected, clumsy mount and flimsy gels that scratch easily. The Magic Holder Attachment Strap is just a sticky, lined Velcro that you can buy at the store by the meter. No magic involved. I wasn't planning on gluing a strap to one of my expensive flashes, so I'm holding it with rubber bands. Also, I have multiple flashes, so I can use the rubber band solution for different flashes. The hinged gel holder is a thick plastic cover that tends to stick. Makes inserting and removing gels a challenge. There is a good range of gel colors so I'm giving it 3 stars because of the cheap price. Note to those still keeping the old Vivitar 285 workhorses, the gels work great with the built in diffusion filter holder. No need to fiddle with the mount.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
