THe idea of the Omnibounce befroe this sphere thing came about was to allow some part of the light to bounce and some light to go straight ahead, much like the older types of flashes with two bulbs, one bounce and one straight ahead.

The sphere can actually be considered to be an extension of the omnibounce theory, as the surface straight through is larger.

faster go collect from weekh. just got mine from him today.
its damn shiok. its everything that the omnibounce never was.

imho imnibounce is a total waste of time compared to lightsphere. I think the idea of the omni was just to diffuse the light before it even bounces off the ceiling. so when it bounces off the ceiling its even more diffuse.

But lightsphere does that, and MORE. with the dome on top, it diffuses the light before it hits ceiligng ( esp low ceiling). THe front side of the lightsphere also provides a very nice natural soft light to the front of the subject.

the entire device looks EXACTLY like a light bulb when the flash goes off. Very very nice!!

omni or bounce cards don't come close to this thing.

70 bucks is a good price to pay for something this useful, even though the thing itself probably costs like 40 cents to make. :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

The huge onion doesn't seem to be very secure on top of my SB800. Has anybody enountered it falling off while shooting? Especially when you point your cam down or something?

If I'm not wrong, there is a 'correct' side to mount the lightsphere.
Notheless, this thingy is pretty heavy and tend to fall off. Wat u can do is to use a big rubber band to secure it (like those rubber band used for your army water botter). For higher class rubber band, i use the one the comes with my flash extender.

NOTES FOR THE LIGHTSPHERE II FOR THE NIKON 8__DX series FLASHES

 

[marican]

bros attaching to nikon, the lightsphere is not that tight. anyway, can use gary fong's suggetsion of wrapping a few rounds of electrical tape on the top of the flash. it becomes SUPER TIGHT and SUPER SECURE after that.

If u are using sb600, which i think is slightly thinner than sb800/80, u can easily make it work as well by sticking on a couple of pieces of those thick thick spongy double sided tape on the left/right side of the flash, then wrap one round electrical tape. nice and steady after taht...
