📸 Waka Flash Diffuser Light Softbox [2 Pack] - Collapsible Speedlight Softbox Set for Canon, Yongnuo, and Nikon Speedlight - 8" Octagon Softbox + 8"x6" with Storage Pouch Review

I ordered a pair of softboxes after being emailed reassurance that they actually fit my Nikon Speedlights (SB600, SB800 and SB5000). The package arrived a day late and in fact they are great for flash and do a great job of reducing glare. Based on the use of the product AND the support I received from the seller, I wholeheartedly recommend this product as an inexpensive addition to phototypesetting.

If you want your built-in flash to look a little more professional then this is a great way to do it. This softens and diffuses the light a bit and helps avoid the washed-out, flat results that can sometimes occur with on-camera flashes. You can even try to mimic a regular softbox with it, and I've tried. Having said that, I have to say that again, don't expect to completely replace the softbox. This works in a pinch, but if you really want studio-quality results straight from the camera, use a

Ideal for non-camera flashes but easy to detach and takes a while to reattach. SOLUTION: Put a logo band (any logo) or friction bands over the flash head. If you're a person with a camera, you should be fine. I didn't like the effect of the vertical image as the shadow goes sideways instead of down and sideways. I immediately went back to my homemade foam diffuser. Sticky white foam sheet on plain black background. Rotates so I can shoot vertically etc. and folds back for direct flash. Use WAKA

Super good product, easy to use, good to have in your pocket. I shoot weddings and homecomings that sometimes need to be shot at night in low or no light. This softbox is a very lightweight and inexpensive alternative to other flash modifiers. The packaging is compact and does not take up space in the bag. I took some test shots of my dogs at 00:00, ISO 100, there was only light in the next room. The first and third shots have the flash aimed at the ceiling at half power, the second shot is…

The only reason I gave 4 stars for ease of use is the velcro system. While it really is as good as you would expect from a product of this nature, this is the only part of this product that I have any complaints about. It works exactly as it's supposed to and is excellent value for money. However, of all my accessories, this one is the hardest to install. but only because it is designed to be foldable. A rigid diffuser is quicker to install but also more difficult to transport. For the money…

If you want to start a holy war among photographers, just bring up the topic of light modifiers and watch the battle unfold. Everyone has their favorites and some of them are very passionate. Purists will always be here to remind us that nothing beats a powerful flashlight in a 7ft flash umbrella. Having witnessed tragic comedies in which I carry softboxes and umbrellas outside to take portraits only to see them tumble in a gentle breeze (sandbags, dammit!), I can attest to the fact that it's…
