Universal Collapsible Magnetic Ring Flash Diffuser 45cm for Macro & Portrait Shooting …

Tried a friend's imitation version of this. Loved the concept, but I guess you get what you pay for, because it was flimsy and difficult to work with. Decided to buy this more expensive one, and it is well worth the money. This one is sturdy, the material is more substantial, and it stays in place. Works great!

Its ok. I wouldnt say its the best thing ever, but it is a nice touch to additional lighting sources, or maybe even in conjunction with natural lighting situations. magnets are a pain to stay together...possibly could be better if it had screws instead. I basically had to boost my speed light by 2 stops to compensate on the diffusion, unless i utilized other light sources and key lights and it works great. 110 dollars is a bit steep for what it is...50 to 60 would be more ideal considering what it is. Granted other ring lights cost 300 dollars starting, but they are an actual light source and not just a diffuser. Also my SB910 is almost too big to fit snug..as it might be a bit too long, but it fits and works. Jesse Martinez

I bought this item five years ago and LOVED IT. Then I bought it again two weeks ago to replace it. The difference in quality is astounding. The previous model had magnetic bits connecting the structural poles together whereas now they are flimsy plastic rods stringed together with rope that fall out of place with a slight shake. Previous model had better, stiffer, quality-feeling material and more reflective interior that disperses the flash more effectively, along with better seams and stitching. Also the velcro strap i got was defective - it was too short! It needed like 6 more inches of length! what happened???

This thing is awkward and bulky but I LOVE it. You can get such cool headshots with it. Makes such a unique look, and it's pretty easy to carry around and just play with. And inexpensive! Yeah, it's hard to adjust your zoom. Yeah, it's gigantic and looks silly. Whatever. You shoot with this thing, people will know you're getting interesting lighting, and when you show them the preview screen on the back of your camera, they'll say "Wow that's cool!"

Great lighting effect. Really cool construction and great quality. That being said, it's very cumbersome and bulky when mounted on the camera. And it's not that easy to get on the camera either. You'll also need a long lens or you'll get some serious vignetting. If you use it with mid range zoom or an 85mm or above prime then it works well. But again, very big and bulky.

not what i expect the light is very harsh

I have tons of light mods but this is my first (portrait) ring flash. I wanted to purchase the Paul C. Buff one but it's just too much for me to spend. This thing is very portable, easy to set up, easy to break back down and stash. The quality of light is had a very distinct glammy look to it which does had its place for certain styles. Even looks good on my cat! Using this on an X-T2 w/SB600.

Goes over my camera lens OK, but not elegantly. Works OK, but is bulky and not really my thing.
