your videos helped me a lot... if I could subscribe like 10 times i'd do that :D

[rashare]

yeah, but what about diffusers outdoors at night?

[thurim_]

apparently this is probably the only comparison video about flash diffusers I can find, truly helpful, I bought the Walimex Universal Fabric Diffuser, which is the “Softbox Diffuser” you called and it doesn’t do well outdoors, pretty much similar result like you tested it out

[ha_dua_o]

This is good comparison of every version, you deserve more subscriber! Keep up your good work and thankyou for your comparison ;)

[Sydney_Jones]

The Slanted Lens is still looking great!

(Wonderful video, by the way, thank you so much)!!

Hee hee, tried a silicon small bag held on with a lacky. Also used the small inbuilt pop up bounce card. Results were impressive. Light and cheap.

I suggest to do a test with a combination of foldable lens mounted diffuser and reflector diffuser with flash pointing to the subject.

[imjooboy]

I had one of the original Gary Fong diffusers. Eventually the plastic yellowed with age

really helpful video, theres so many diffusers its hard to tell which one to get. Thanks!

[vantoth]

Hello, I have watched both videos (outdoor, indoor), and they are great. Can you possibly advise, even make a video as to how these would work outside in a shaded area (using as fill in light). It would be fantastic to see the results. Many thanks in advance.

[MarcusBritish]

The rectangular and octagonal softboxes have fairly big flat white surface areas that serve as sunlight reflectors even before the flash diffuses light from within, at the right angle and close enough to the subject it's no surprise that they have more success outdoors than indoors as the light reflected is additive. Of course, there's no beating a dedicated larger reflector as you would angle that more precisely than pointing a softbox covered flash might allow.

Thanks for making this video. I personally prefer the effect of using the small rectangular diffuser compared to the reflector. It is because I noticed that the reflector caused uneven lighting on the face.

[Rifarief]

Thank you 👍👍
Having seen this video it's a lot easier for me now to get one or two of those modifiers

[RonBoger]

Fantastic videos! I may be late to the party, but I am looking for the 10/10 diffuser for macro photography. My macro shots are usually outdoors (flowers, insects, etc.)

[usernamemykel]

Coffee?

Here's a coffee story-
Somehow I've gotten "old", 78 Imperial, not Metric, years old, with the inevitable old-age aches and pains when walking/bending.
That pretty much keeps me from enjoying outdoor macro, and I'm very happy exploring the joys of macro photography indoors, with the BONUS of very available COFFEE!

[Webber]

Really liked this videos style, approach etc. A proper comparison test between the inexpensive diffusers. Equally enjoyed the indoor test. keep up the great work! I’m now subscribed to your channel :)

[ReviewsWorld]

Loved the video what do u think about comparing magmod to these diffusers (the spherical diffuser )

[terjebrattelid]

Thanks for your entertaining and informative videos. :-) Question: Do any of these diffusers work off camera as an alternative to an umbrella?

[marclabro]

great video. what about magmod products ?

[whoeverwhoever]

Which one is the best for outdoor marco? thanks
