Round diffuser 30 cm / softbox for Alitek on-camera flash (54009)

Softbox diffuser for 30 cm flash

A new product that has appeared on the market for photographers and solves the important problem of obtaining softer lighting when shooting with on-camera flash. It is a round white reflector in the style of the famous white “burdock”, but only enclosed in a shell with reflective edges and a diffuser. Thanks to this design, the light pulse does not hit the ceiling, but is reflected from the reflector and walls and is directed only forward, further softening as it passes through the diffuser.

Attaches to the on-camera flash using Velcro. First, the flash head is wrapped with Velcro tape, and then the softbox diffuser itself is attached to this tape. Attached with Velcro on four sides, it holds well

The round softbox diffuser for a 30cm flash is best used in conditions where it is impossible to work with flash light reflected from the ceiling or walls. If this is a large room and the ceilings are high and the walls are far away, if the ceiling and walls are painted in some inconvenient colors, if the room is paneled with wood or made of logs, etc. In such conditions you have to either hit the forehead with a flash, which is not good at all , either put on a diffuser cap, or pull out the reflective white card from the flash. Or use a softbox diffuser. Compared to the first 3 methods, we have a larger and softer light source due to the reflector and diffuser.

Advantages:

• Lightweight and compact
• Quickly folds and unfolds
• Fits practically to all on-camera flashes
• Does not block the focusing beams of the flash, which is important in dark conditions
• It is located far enough from the axis of the lens, which allows you to obtain relatively volumetric lighting

You can use a softbox diffuser for flash in different situations, but here are the main ones in which it really helps:

• a dark church, if there is a christening or a wedding
• a log church, if there is a christening or wedding
• a restaurant with mirrored, black or colored ceilings, or very high ceilings
• a nightclub where the ceilings are always far away and they are still not white and a lot of other colored light < /li>
• situations when you need to preserve the environment and light, but highlight the subject with clean light and get a good complexion and not have to worry about processing

Important! Don't forget to use on-camera flash correctly! We adjust the exposure to the background with a slight underlight and use TTL on the flash. Second curtain synchronization. This is the only way we will preserve the environment as it is and only gently and carefully add light to the subject.
