Stofen Omnibounce or Lightsphere? :think:

i thought Omnibounce look more like a Name Card Container, while Lightsphere look like a Toilet bowl ball to hold the detergent...

Not bad. A lightsphere for few dollars compared to what Gary Fong is charging for his Lightsphere.

 

[lemontree]

woah! ho eh! I like the literal-food-container concept! Economic and looks like it works just like a lightsphere too! But may look a bit "or-biang" right if you're taking photos with it at weddings or worse still, formal events? :bsmilie:

Anyway to make it look more pro? Raptor you're :thumbsup: !

What is the material of the white thing in the container & cover?

 

[gUARDSbOY]

Wow its $0.20 against $90+ !!!!

 

[gUARDSbOY]

But do think most people can't tell a difference between the lightsphere ($90+) and the food container ($0.20) ;p

Even I own a DSLR me also blur don't say the others who don't bother about photography.


Plus point for the food container is that you can even bring / ta pao some supper in it and keep it warm with each shots :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

Hi Rapter84

Do you place the aluminium foil on the container cap?
If yes, then won't it be blocking light upwards?


TIA
cheers

That is only optional when the celing is too high but it stall can be used as a diffuser with no bounce.
