Polaroid Universal Gel Soft Box Diffuser (Includes Blue, Red, Green, Amber, Yellow & Pink Gels) For Canon EOS, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Sony, Sigma, & Other External Flash Units

I shoot a lot of bands and the bars/coffee shops most unlike the 90's most do not have any lighting in the spot they put bands or singer song writers with the stale white/pale blue light cold light warm music makes emotions. Shot bands since the days before we knew you could put the word digital and camera together. I bought this and it got here in 2 days as promised I opened it and looked at it . It seemed odd picked it up its wicked super ultra cheap the instructions say glue the velcro tabs to the sides of the flash unit so I fired a few hand shots holding everything the pattern on the wall was a hot blue white square . Im like ok and slip in a gel its a hot gel soft box but the thing thats missing the soft box part it is designed as if every shot will be a color filtered gel shot . A ton of color stuff can be done in post processing digital is digital from the shutter press to the out put what ever it is . But preprocessing like the old days you can do some great things . I will be sending it back never used it is nothing id consider using its cheap I see 6months and I'd be buying a new one why go down that road in the first place . they make little baby racks for in front of the flash lens that fit hard gel squares or soft squares the come with around 20-100 different colors for eqelizing white balance or highlighting a drummer going nuts in deep purple put a scond in the slot waiting and grab a medium blue on the other side or cut them in half or thirds and shoot a fake light scheme. A bit of crafty goes a long way in photography since digital its all built to buy you make almost nothing . Well this item for the occasional shooter is great or you use cheap old flashes -No way Im gona stick anything to my 300.00 flash unit

They are what they are. We bought this to play with really so its not a big loss. The items do their job so it gets a fair rating. But the construction is a little under par and you have no where to keep the gels you are not useing as the are all stored in the softbox. C for overall quality/functionality, F for design and durablity.

works good. no real tips on how to use. so learning curve

Nice product. Fit perfectly on my flash. Good result.

The diffuser does exactly what it's supposed to, and the color gels are a great bonus! Using it on my Vivitar DF-293. I didn't use the velcro attachments though, I use either electrical tape or an old hair elastic. I didn't want to permanently adhere the velcro to my flash.

I gave a couple of these to my Son who is a filmmaker and photographer and he said that they work great. He has a shoot for a book cover coming up and he will be using them.

It is a lot smaller than I imagined it would be however it is still usable. Should be larger for being more effective.

Does everything it needs to. I haven't used the color attachments, so I couldn't tell you how that turns out. The diffuser itself is a great add at a great price though.

Good value and works well

As an attempt at using coloured flash gels in photography, it's worth the money. Even if you never use them again!

It doesn't look like here, it is only wee and square. The attaching system is rather awkward, especially when you decide to sell your flush gun..., but then it stays on and does its job quite well. Haven't tried the diffusers yet.

Does the job, but fiddly!

absolutely wonderful. people keep asking me where i got them from.
