Diffuser Alitek 30 cm for flash, softbox, octabox (540080)

Universal diffusers are one of the best solutions for reportage and portrait photography when using an external flash.
The Alitek diffuser is an octagonal softbox that is attached to the flash head.
To securely hold the softbox on the flash head, the petals are covered from the outside with a stretchable tape with a Velcro fastener.

A flash diffuser is more convenient because:
- has a compact shape and light weight - you can always take it with you when shooting outdoors or to places where there is no possibility use studio light;
- easy to install;
- softens the direct light flux - as a result of which overexposure on the subject is removed;
- makes it possible to take vertical shots - removes hard shadows on faces that arise when using white paper or a bouncer;
- makes it possible to work with flash “head-on” - using the capabilities of flashes to work in intelligent mode;
- allows you to increase the surface area of ​​the light source - while the shadows of objects become much softer.

Note: Using any diffuser will reduce the light output from the flash. This must be taken into account when working with flash. The reduction in light power depends on the materials used in the diffuser and the level of illumination of the subjects may be reduced by 2 times, as well as the maximum distance for using the flash. Thus, using diffusers helps achieve softer shadows when shooting subjects in sunlight. However, when using diffusers at dusk or at night, reducing the flash output will not produce the same results as when shooting in the sun.

Alitek diffuser is compatible with most modern flashes, such as:
