Altura Photo Flash Diffuser Softbox 6x5, Universal for Camera Speedlight

I'm very pleased with the build quality and functionality of the Altura flash diffuser. It is small and folds into a very compact and light packet. Fits my older (but still great) Canon Speedlite 430EX II well. I purchased the smallest version (6"x5") for a flash for macro photography, and it is fantastic for this use. It also works well for casual portraits of people & pets, especially as a fill-flash. Suggest you buy one of the larger versions if your intent is to photograph larger subjects, though the price is so reasonable, might be worth having a couple of sizes. High quality, reasonable price!

I ordered the 3 size pack and received it very fast, The price was more than reasonable. The build quality is very good they should last a long time if taken care of. They mount easily, all 3 sizes fit my speedlights the flashpoint V860 II and the TT350. However the large size isn't something I'd mount on the TT350 with it on the camera. It's better suited for a tripod mounted TT350. I have a Neewer vision 2 Pocket flash 200W light it's a rebranded VISICO. It has a round head that is 3" in diameter the large modifier fits the Neewer vison 2, although it's a very tight fit. Mounting is a breeze and they stays in place. I seem to lose about a stop of light which I expected. The quality of light is not a soft light as some have stated but the light very well diffused with no harsh shadows. I bought them to provide a portable modifier that takes up little space, easy to mount, and able to diffuse the light these fit the bill to a tee. The Altura video describing these modifiers is 100% accurate. I can't wait to use them outside for portraits but that won't be for awhile it's to cold and the snow keeps coming. I highly recommend these modifiers they do a fantastic job just don't expect them provide the exact same light as a much larger soft box. Update: After 2 years of use they still look new. I always carry them with me. I use the medium diffuser on my TT 350C handheld the most. I stand by everything I stated in my initial review.

I was looking for something inexpensive for event photography that would soften the flash so there wouldn't be such a high contrast between the subject and the background in large areas where I can't bounce the flash. I tried the 6x5 diffuser. I like how it folds up and fits into an included bag so it takes up very little space and easily fits in my camera bag and it's very reasonably priced. Attaching it to the flash is also fairly easy and the internal diffuser allows you to change the amount of diffusion it provides. Unfortunately I'm not terribly happy with the end result. While this may work with many flashes, it does not work well with mine. When used strait on the diffuser blocks the AF assist light of my Nikon SB-600 making it very difficult for my camera to focus in low light situations. Raising my flash up slightly seems to help, however that's not a position that my flash locks in so it's easy to bump it out of position. Looking at the photos and video in their listing, it shows flashes with the AF assist light on the bottom half of the body while mine has them on the top half. I believe this could work well if you have the right kind of flash. Their support was very helpful and reached out to me to offer assistance and to ensure their product met my needs.

I'll start out with a five star review based on the item is well made and appears to be perfect for my macro work. I will update after a little time in the field, but I honestly cannot imagine that it will disappoint. The price is right. Using it with my Nikon D7500.

It's not a true softbox and won't soften the light like one, but for the price you're getting a whole lot of value here. I generally use this on an off-camera flash or when traveling, stick it in my bag for my on-camera flash. It's incredibly lightweight but built tough, and folds FLAT (one of the questions I had before purchasing it. Thanks Amazon community for the answers!) The spines are stiff but do well to hold the periphery of the illuminating area static. I found the middle of the road 9x7" size to be perfect for a packable solution. It's not too small causing the light to not soften enough, and not large enough to cause undue bulkiness while shooting. It also cuts down on top-heavy weight on the camera. The attachment is velcro and before you poo poo it, let me just say it's felt as secure and feels completely sturdy as anything else I've tried on the flash's head. There's even a little fabric flap inside that acts as another diffuser before light even hits the main diffusion area. It also prevents the softbox from sliding up into the softbox so it has a purpose other than some gimmicky little extra piece. It can be a little fiddly, but attaches to the interior portion of the softbox and can stay out of the way if you don't wish to use it. Versatile, I like that. It's a little easier to use than the Gary Fong solution, plus it's a more direct light and doesn't lose as many stop of light saving some battery life in the process. I actually prefer using it more than the GF lately. Works great on Yongnuo 560iv's, Canon 600ex ii's and probably comparable Nikon flashes. Again, you're not going to get a super duper soft light out of these but for how compact and lightweight they are, you'd be foolish not to pack it in just in case!

09-01-17 Update: The merchant was very responsive to my review and went above in beyond in making sure I was a happy customer. They reached out to me, offering me everything from replacements to refund. I am happy they are so concerned, and would choose to do business with them again. Original review: The reviews on this are quite positive, and I bought based on that and mention that once unfolded, these will hold a decent unboxed shape, but I have to disagree. Mine all wanted to cave in a little no matter how long I left them formed into the right shape before attachng to my flash - especially the largest one. Also, I saw no lighting differences at all in several dozen test shots I took between the largest diffuser and the smallest, whether mounted on either of 2 different flash units I have, or when used with 2 different cameras. I will have a use for the small one, but had I known then what I know now, that is the only one I would have purchased.

Items arrived quickly on time and the diffusers I ordered are as described and very good quality! Super happy!

E comprado anteriormente difusores de este estilo, pero hechos de materiales sumamente desechables, por lo que costo este, fue una grata sorpresa la que me lleve al ver el material con el que esta echo, muy resistente y claramante mas durable que los otros de caucho que habia comprado

Fit my Nikon flash perfectly and works great

Handy, folds up and fits into any fold. Works like a charm.

Excellent product. Extremely finished. Easy to fix. Perfect on go.

This unit is ideal for portrait photography as you can get close and not dazzle the subject. The light output is soft and reduces shadows. Very easy and quick to assemble and fits most flashes. I found it great to take photos of my two year old grandchild and the light balance was near perfect. Very good value for money in my opinion.
