RoundFlash Beauty Dish Collapsible Softbox for Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus, Panasonic Lumix, Neewer, Yongnuo External On-Camera Shoe-Mounted Flash Units

First of all, let me say this thing is awesome. Not because it's as great as a beauty dish, because it's not. But it's a resonable replacement. What does make it so great though is that it travels well. It is about as well built as a cloth modifier can be. I never think twice about shoving it into my bag, since I figure it won't break, and it's so light. It folds up to about the size of both your hands if you put them together. Then it only takes moments to unfold and put on your flash. And it increases the size of your light source from the size of your flash to the size of a small beauty dish. It is a beautiful light for lighting the face, it has a pretty good fall off, although it can splash a bit wider than a beauty dish. It's a wierd hybrid somewhere between a beauty dish and soft box. One of the things I like the most about it is when I atatch it to on off camera flash in a room with normal heigh ceilings I can bring that stand right up to the roof to get some extra height that an umbrealla or softbox wouldn't allow. Sometimes you don't have high ceilings, and you need that extra 8 inches of distance from the subject. Either way this is a great solution to problems you didn't even know you had and is always in my bag now.

I just started using this on my photoshoots. I have had several other similar types of speedlight defusers. This one is great...fits well, easy to fold up, and travel with. It does help diffuse the light without giving harsh light output.You do have to make sure that you tuck it behind your lens.I use this with my D800 and SB-900.

This beauty dish is a little "delicate" but if you're careful, no problem. It works great and the big thing is its portability. You can practically throw this in your coat pocket! It takes up very little room in your gear bag and now you have an "instant beauty dish" at your disposal. I highly recommend it. Depending on how rough you are with your camera, it the band could slip off and it might fall off your flash. But if that's a problem, add a thick rubber band. I usually mount mine on a small tripod and shoot with a remote trigger, so this isn't a problem. For the price, this is outstanding.

It works as advertised, but a bit pricey for what it is.

The metal pole inside the softbox broke after less than 10 times use.

It works great....BUT!!! I bought this about 6 months ago and its broken already....The dish is a really nice product, Ive taken some great photos with this and it folds up nicely and fits in my camera bag. I loved this product for 6 months....BUT, today it broke. The wind knocked my light stand over and inside the dish is a cheap aluminum pole that snapped.and there was no way to repair it. I have ordered a new one to replace it and have added a 3-year replacement plan. But the company who sold this to me should replace my order for free. Im a photographer who shoots outside a lot, and yes I should have had sand bags with me. But for a product that costs $70 when I bought it to break within 6 months is a joke.

Needed to replace my main 22-inch beauty dish, as I am currently relocating and won't be able to bring every piece of my gear. This little buddy is really going to come in handy. I also like its softbox output as opposed to the output that a beauty dish would blast. I think it's a nice portable addition to go with my Yongnuo Speedlight. I read a review about how there might be a small issue with using it in windy shooting environments. But I think the way the inner mount holds the RoundFlash out, I'll probably only have to make some minor adjustments to keep it from flopping all over the place (some tape, some small rods, etc.). For the most part, for portable/quick set ups, I think the RoundFlash Beauty Dish/Softbox may be a good route to go. Tested it out recently, as soon as it shipped in, and I'm very satisfied with the results. We will see how it holds up in a variety of shooting situations, but I'm confident--after reading/watching reviews--that I'll have little to worry about!

Softens the light from the speedlight dramatically. The internal rod that keeps the dish open takes a bit of wiggling to lock properly but once it's in position, it holds the dish solidly. I like the quality of the light with this modifier and love that it folds up to a small size that I can carry in my camera bag—clever design.
