I bought this diffuser for my wireless flashes (Canon 430 EX II and YN-560 III) and have been using it for 1 year now.

There are a few things you need to do to fix some of the reported issues: Inside the diffuser is a second diffuser screen that attaches to the first with Velcro. Pages. Unpack and cap the strobe before mounting so you have two diffuser shields, one in front of the strobe…

I've recently started using flash for photography and every few weeks I buy accessories to complete my kit. I looked at the softbox on the stand but was afraid my flash would not line up if set up with a wireless trigger attached.
