Does not fit2009-07-02
I have a canon 580EX and I can't get the Omni-Bounce to fit onto it. It is way too tight. Get a different one.
GREAT BUY (staple in my camera bag)2009-06-16
This product is simple, easy, small, affordable and it works wonders. Don't waste time with the huge light spheres and over priced products that compete with this one... This does the same job, if not better. The bigger light spheres not only eat up valuable space in your camera bag, but they also eat up a lot more light than these do. A+
fast service, strait forward purchase2009-06-12
This works great on the Canon 580 EXII flash unit. It's a nice tool to have to diffuse light
Does not fit the 580EX II flash.2009-06-11
This is advertised to fit the 580 EX flash and it does fit that flash just fine. I have seen some other sites that claim this is for the 580 EX and 580 EX II flash; but those two flash head sizes are different. It is too tight for the 580 EX II flash! When used with the proper flash, this device gives wonderfully soft flash results. I use it at the 45 degree angle for macro photography and find I will not have to spend several hundred dollars for a ringlight, macro only flash. Sometimes I also use a bounce card behind this diffuser for macro just to increase the intensity a little. For macro, I use manual flash adjustments since my camera/flash is too close to the subject for auto e-ttl to work properly, even with this diffuser.
A great little light modifier2009-06-06
The Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce makes a great little light modifier providing a bit of a softer shadow for my Canon 580EX II flash.

Fit is excellent, snug enough to keep you from worrying about it falling off, seem tough enough to last a while (as long as you don't store it in direct sunlight), a simple effective solution for harsh shadows.

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact. For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...

View Finder - A small eyepiece or screen on the camera that allows you to see the image you're recording.

It's worthwhile to white balance every time you use your camera to get the highest quality video. If your camera doesn't have this feature, it may have an automatic or internal system. What white balancing does is adjust the intensity of the colors being recorded according to the existing light. Make sure you white balance every time the lighting conditions change; if you record video inside and then go outside, your lighting conditions have changed and you need to instruc ...
