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!

Yes, it's a little floppy once attached to a flash head, so it requires constant tugging to try to keep it reasonably shaped. It doesn't bend down too far, but it's still looks like it could use a little more reinforcement. It folds completely flat, which is probably why it's somewhat floppy. Diffusion is definitely good, especially when I use a diffuser attachment on the flash head before I even mount the soft-box. It's lightweight, very portable, and effective. I'm satisfied with it.

This diffuser is well made and fits my Vivitar 283 and Pentax AF540FGZ flashes. It folds flat and takes a minimum of space in my camera bag. I liked it so much I bought 2 additional units which I use when I need multiple flashes. I highly recommend this diffuser.

This is my first diffuser, so I don’t know how this one may compare to others, but I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The canvas material is very sturdy, I like how it is easy to attach to my flash and that the opening has strips of rubber that make sure the diffuser stays in place. Inside the diffuser is more reflective material, which I was not expecting, but this helps maximize your light. In addition the seller included a free microfiber cloth which I thought was a very nice touch— so thank you Digital Goja! This is a very nice quality product... AND a flash diffuser made a HUGE difference in my pictures. I bought the 6x5 diffuser and it eliminated that hard light from my close up shots. The lighting is so much more controlled and, for such a low price, a diffuser will step up your flash game to another level! I’m still waiting for a few more lighting items to help me get my portraits to look profesional, but for a beginner who doesn’t want to spend too much I would totally recommend this product. It is inexpensive and portable and does a great job!

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!

09-01-17 Update: The merchant was very responsive to my review and went above in beyond in making sure I was a happy customer. They reached out to me, offering me everything from replacements to refund. I am happy they are so concerned, and would choose to do business with them again. Original review: The reviews on this are quite positive, and I bought based on that and mention that once unfolded, these will hold a decent unboxed shape, but I have to disagree. Mine all wanted to cave in a little no matter how long I left them formed into the right shape before attachng to my flash - especially the largest one. Also, I saw no lighting differences at all in several dozen test shots I took between the largest diffuser and the smallest, whether mounted on either of 2 different flash units I have, or when used with 2 different cameras. I will have a use for the small one, but had I known then what I know now, that is the only one I would have purchased.

Any decent photographer knows that on-camera flash is not ideal lighting. But no doubt, there are times when on-camera flash is the only thing you can do. And if so, these are great diffusers to use. They are light weight, easy to pack in my camera bag, and do a nice job, as expected. Of course, I didn't know whet size I'd like, and buying two of them separately was more expensive than buying the three pack... so I got all three. The trade-offs seem obvious - if you want to go small and least obtrusive, the small size is best, at the expense of the least benefit in creating soft light. The largest one definitely seems more cumbersome, but of the three, will provide the best in soft light capability. So maybe, if you only want to buy one, get the medium size! But oddly, I have all three and will be less likely to select the medium size, choosing between minimum size and maximum diffusion objectives. I have been looking forward to setting these up on multiple speed-lights with remote triggering for multi-strobe applications, just haven't got there yet. But I am sure they will improve the light quality in that application as well.

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.
