Vi todo el video porque al principio prometía hablar de las imitaciones del Gary Fong pero nunca lo hizo. Yo solo tengo las imitaciones y comparándolas con los originales, no veo diferencia, parecen hechas exactamente del mismo material y hasta con los mismos moldes, sin embargo quisiera una comparativa para saber si vale la pena pagar casi 10 veces mas por los originales.

Just got a Godox Diffusion Dome (in 2024). Much cheaper and has fittings for rectangular and round heads. Works great. Collapsible too.

This is excellent! I ended up going with the MagMod diffuser but either way, your review was very helpful! Thanks for the flash tips as well.

I'm debating buying a "pocket flash" and this dome. I shoot a lot of outdoor stuff. Models, couples etc. Don't get much into weddings. I also travel a handful of times a year and I'm sick of carrying my stobes, vegabond, modifiers etc. Something like this could fit in the bag. Throw it on a light stand and boom. I am a little worried I won't get a super soft lighting from it though. IDK. I'm torn

I do hope that this review is legit and not a sponsored commercial.

Cheers, Brett. A very thorough presentation

Even if I pointed it up I'd have to bounce it perfectly? Um why? And how does one bounce it "perfectly"?
Why wouldn't you compare it to using the built in diffuser and pointing it at the ceiling?

Just got my LightSphere and will try it out tomorrow at a real estate property photo shoot. Thanks for the review.

Can you make a video on nightclub Camera Gear, How to do the shoot, Camera Settings, and stuff like that?

Nice coverage, you should ad in your search flash/angle tips.

Thank you for the great video. Here is my situation. I have been photographing this one larg event in December for the last 24 years. It's always been at the same loction but this year that location is under renovation so the event will be at another location. I have always used natural light and gotten beautiful photos but this year at the other location it is is very old and dark. So I will be forced for the first time ever to use flash. I will be purchasing the Nikon sb-600 (I have an old Nikon 8008, I still use black and white film, and the newer flashes don't work with that camera). I will also be purchasing the Lightsphere. Will that fit on that flash? ALso, I have been reading about using the Lightshpere without the dome, with the dome inverted but I see you just leave it with the dome shape out. It's all very confusing to me, so I am asking you your opinion should I just leave the dome pointed out like you do in your video? I am shooting very fast and spontanious. Children in a theater setting. Not stage but behind the scenes on the stairways, dressing rooms and hallways. And the dressing rooms have bright LED lights around the dressing mirrors. (I do a lot of shots of the kids in the mirror using their reflection.) Some of the ceilings are low, some high. No time to think or set shots up. ANy tips? So to summerize, does Lightsphere fit the Nikon SB-600? ANd should I leave the dome pointed outward for all shots.

Can you review Gary fong lightblade please

[ishmaelkamara]

Great review! Really explained exactly what I needed

[merchantsmithimages]

Who even uses direct flash anymore??? What is this 1975? Lol!!! Jk...it's ok for a party shot, but I use bounce at all times when possible. Nice video!

No no no, Lightspheres are stupid ‘cause some human q-tip and his wife said so. 🙄

I love my Lightspheres and to me no flash is complete without one. Also, I have seen MANY photographers use them at friends weddings, you can’t deny the results.
