Customer Reviews:

does the job but flimsy

I got this for my Nikon D80 for indoor snapshots of my kids. I watched a youtube tutorial on how to properly install it, and once I recieved it I thought it would be a piece of cake. It broke in two on my first attempt. I am still able to use it (for how long, I dont know) and it does do a fantastic job at diffusing the light. My photos look natural, clear and bright.
If you aren't looking to drop a couple hundred on a Speedlight and just want something cheap to go with your pop up flash, this would be it. Just expect to get what you pay for as far as durability goes!

YEAH IT BROKE!!!!

The first time I put it on my D200, the mounting base broke in two!!!! I knew from previous reviews this could happened so I was very careful. Didn't matter... I applied very little pressure but it just snapped. It still works ( but you have to carefully align the 2 pieces) and does what it says it will do for the flash, but there is a definite design flaw... For the money I expected something a little better!!!! If it didn't break I'd give it 4 stars....

overrated

It broke on me the first try. So I got inspired and used a maxi-pad and it works the same at a fraction of the price, and is a much better conversation-starter at parties.

Great idea needs improvement

It does exactly what it is supposed to for an inexpensive price, but the black part that slips into the hot shoe broke on mine a few days after I began using it. I love the idea of not toting my big flash, but this piece needs to be more sturdy. I'm hoping to be able to glue it and continue to use it...

On Nikons - use a dremmel. THEN it will fit correctly

It does what it's designed to do - diffuse the harsh light of the pop-up flashes.

However, the black plastic is of low quality and will break if you try to force it.
I found that the foot will not slide easily into Nikon hot-shoes. What I did was sand down the nub, and the side wall a bit with a small drum attachment on my Dremmel. NOW it fits. It should slide in pretty easily, DO NOT force it.

As another revier siad, it's also hard to fir the nubs of the black part into the white part. Here I simply used a TINY bit of grease. (You do NOT want to use to much, or you will get it all over your camera/lens). Here to, do NOT force it.

After all this, it will work great!
