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!

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!

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 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.

When it comes to photography my main interests are macro and landscape photography, so I can't really speak about how well this Altura Photo Flash Diffuser Light Softbox works for portrait photography. However, by the videos that I have seen regarding Altura Photo's flash diffuser light softboxes the results you get by using them when shooting portraits are pretty impressive! I will have to try that out soon! When I first opened my Altura Photo 6x5" Flash Diffuser Light Softbox I was impressed by how well it was made. I also liked how the strap was already attached to the Flash Diffuser Light Softbox which makes it quick and easy to put on your flash. The interior has reflective silver lining to maximize your flash output and it has grippy rubber strips that makes it hug securely around my Neewer TT560 Speedlite. The strap holds tightly around the flash with a velcro closure. The Flash Diffuser Light Softbox folds up nicely, and the storage pouch that Altura Photo includes with this flash diffuser is well made and will keep it protected as you put it in your backpack or camera bag along with all your other camera gear. I used the flash diffuser as I shot some photos of the only bloomed flower (that was beginning to shrivel) among many buds in my violet plant, and it really helped to soften the light without diminishing the fine details that were brought out by the flash. I am very happy with my purchase of Altura Photo's 6x5'' Flash Diffuser Light Softbox and IMHO I think you will be too! I am looking forward to using it this spring as I shoot many photos of insects and flowers! A few years ago I subscribed to Digital Goja's YouTube channel and have appreciated many of the videos that Izzy and Adam have made. Their genuineness and sincerity comes through as they share all of their information. Based on that, as well as on the many other good reviews, not only of this product but also regarding their good customer service, I ordered Altura Photo's 6x5'' Flash Diffuser Light Softbox with the confidence that they will offer good customer service if a problem ever does arise.

As a former professional photographer, flash soft boxes were a necessity. Very often I used flash off-camera holding it in one hand while holding the camera with the other. We used any manner of flash diffusion materials to make our own boxes. In-studio portrait work always demanded several large soft boxes or reflective umbrellas. For amateur shutterbugs wanting to go pro this is a good product for learning portrait and hard shadow work. I use it because it is very portable, easy to use and does help ease the shadows when shooting outdoors or in low light. Good product for the money..

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.
