Description of PRESSlite Eclipse Shield Various Swivel Head

A unique light shield improves bounce-flash photography by automatically blocking direct flash, preventing it from reaching the subject being photographed. The patent-pending device is about the size of a baseball cap and weighs approximately 0.50 ounce (14 grams), while the shield itself weighs only 0.25 ounce (7.1 grams). Even worn detents of an excessively used flash head won't have any problems accommodating the eclipse. Engineered and manufactured in Silicon Valley USA, the eclipse light shield is the only device of its kind that protects the photographer's subject and surroundings from direct flash at virtually any position the flash head is pointed for bouncing light. Whether used on- or off-camera, the eclipse doesn't need any adjustments from shot-to-shot, unlike other similar products. Kit contains 3 items: light shield, band and strap. Flash unit and wireless trigger are not included with the purchase of the eclipse. They are included in illustrations out of necessity.

Perfect for Nighttime Photography!

I recently purchased an Eclipse Shield Swivel Head for my camera and I must say I am impressed .As my tests showed the shield did an excellent job at reducing glare, while still allowing enough light to enter the lens. It`s perfect for night time photography! The swivel head is also a great feature as I could easily adjust the shield to work with different lenses. However, the product could benefit from clearer instructions for installation. Overall, a great addition to my electronics…

Pros
  • Flexible swivel head allows for easy adjustability
Cons
  • The shield may be difficult to attach to some types of lighting equipment.

It is strange that there are no examples.

I am a professional photographer and I often use bounce flash. I did not purchase this product. As far as I can tell this is a product looking for a problem. What could convince me otherwise are examples of the difference this product makes in normal situations. But the Maxbounce site is completely devoid of samples. If they claim enhanced photos of their product, where are the before/after examples?

Pros
  • Flash Accessories
Cons
  • Frequency
