A dramatic, eye catching photo can mean dramatic profits. Getting a well exposed photo is extremely important. Photographers often turn to a flash to help light the scene. The problem is that flash can cause harsh reflections or glare spots or create deep shadows that distract viewers. This little, portable universal external flash diffuser will prevent those problems when using a flash. Simply put the unit over the camera’s flash, point and shoot. The light will be softened and your photos will be well exposed, without the harsh glare spots.

4 Stars It’s cheap. It works.
I bought this to have something that’d look somewhat decent while shooting a wedding. Didn’t end up using it there, but I have used it in other contexts, so I can say that it certainly does what it’s supposed to.
Diffusers aren’t terribly hard to make if you’re on a tight budget. Wax paper can work wonders, but it looks tacky. So, when you need something for presentation but don’t want to shell out the cash for a flash-specific diffuser, this will fit the bill.
The first thing I noticed was the typo on the instructions – instead of “Friction” it says “Frivtion”. No big deal, but obviously lends to the fact that it’s cheap, and you’re getting what you pay for.
This isn’t going to hold up to abuse, and I’d honestly be a little worried if I were using this in anything like a sporting event or when shooting a band. In those contexts, I’d recommend something a little more solid. Still, it’s cheap, easy to use, and works great in a pinch.
Recommend it? Yes, if you just want something that’ll fit on a bunch of flashes. Don’t buy it for a regular diffuser, though, as it may not last long.

The Lightpro Dome diffuser is a large, round, soft and flexible diffuser that slips over the front of compatible flash units. The inside of the dome is completely textured to make the light dispersion even more “soft” than it would be otherwise. And because of this design, it is possible to make the material more translucent, keeping the unit from losing a lot of light while actually increasing the diffusion and softness of light. The included inverted dome allows you to softly diffuse direct light with a large, soft source without creating flare on the front of your lens.

4 Stars Cloud Dome diffuser
Works well. I usually use this in portrait evening shots with the sun setting in the background. At these times, this add a good fill-in flash without looking like a flash was used.
Soft plastic becomes distorted when stored. But once installed on flash and cap is put on, it forms back to its spherical shape.
4 Stars It works
It’s pretty loose on my 430 EX II, but fits great on my 580 EX II…
The light is great… diffuse and gives a nice glow. I use this for events and have been happy with it thus far.
And for quite a bit cheaper than Fong diffuser, which is an overpriced piece of modified tupperware…

2 Stars Not to impressed
When i put this on my camera I thought it would soften the look of my pictures. It just made them a little darker. Picture with out this product came out fine.
1 Star doesnt work??
when it thach the elctric pins it doesnt pop up it think its the out flash garbage
5 Stars Nice little extra
Sometimes this little gadget softens when I need it. I think for the money it is a nice little extra to carry around. You might have a shot that turns out just the way you liked without all the bulkiness of carrying something bigger to do the same thing. Worth the money.
1 Star did not fit my canon xti
i DRILLED the thing apart trying to prevent it from preventing the flash from going off at all. when i was done, the thing wouldn’t stay in the hole. garbage for me. the plastic was strong as hell, i’ll give it that. but if you have an xti, this won’t work.

5 Stars these little things are awesome!
I got these figuring nothing could be worse than the pop up flash by itself, but I was even more impressed than expected. It definitely softens the glare without significant loss to distance. I’ve only used the white one so far and have been very happy with it. I could take pictures at up to 8 feet, well lit, but without glare.
The black piece slides into place on your hot shoe and the colored pieces fit onto that at the height you need. It slides in and out very easily on my Nikon, but stays in place when it’s in.
You can take the pieces apart again to fit into a camera bag, so they don’t take up much room.
4 Stars Not bad for the price
I purchased this mainly because I wanted the color diffusers, and quite honestly it was cheap enough. I own the authentic Puffer diffuser as well and am very happy with it. This version slid better into my hot shoe and with my Nikon D40, there was no problems with it preventing the flash from opening. The package was fully intact upon arrival and was easy to use. It doesn’t quite warrant a 5 star, as it’s a little difficult to push the pegs into the holes on the blue screen.
Pros: easy to use, price is right
Cons: some minor manufacturing flaws with attaching the screen
1 Star no good for Canon
when inserted, it prevents the flash from opening. i had to cut a little piece out of it,for it to allow triggering the flash
i believe the gary fong version resolved this problem.
but anyway it’s a very useful and handy pop-up diffuser
1 Star Very disappointed
It was broken when I received it. Very cheaply made. But returning it would have been more of a hassle than it was worth.
