This was great. Now we need to see something similar for outdoor shooting. The best ones from this set are using the walls to reflect the light. That doesn't work in wide open spaces. I'd love to see the exact same comparison under those conditions! EDIT: Nevermind! I just found your outdoor video! Sweet! :)

I started using the "winner" several years ago while shooting pics of community (55+) events that were held indoors (dinners, parties etc.) and found that it worked. I didn't really try the silver side much and will have to try it. I've also tried the small softboxes but they are so difficult to fit on smaller flashes used with my micro 4/3 camera bodies. So, I'll be happy to continue using and doing some tests with the inexpensive winner. Thanks for posting a really useful review!

It is funny. I have a large diffuser, an octabox. I always bring someone to help me, but the week before I went to a session alone, I took the octabox, but I ended up using, the winner of your video. I had it stored on my desk, unused, thinking it was useless. I took this diffuser (the silver one) and it has helped me a lot. I can't believe I had it saved as a barusa without knowing what it was going to do for me. In lightroom, I make small corrections. Thanks for the video.

Something that I liked using was the "Rogue Photographic Design FlashBender v3 Soft Box Kit". It's a large, well put together paper that you can shape and reshape to the type of bounce of light you desire. You can even form it into a nice snoot. The cost is about £ 83.

Not sure but bigger is always better with flash diffusers. It a balance between the effect and usability as they can become too unwieldy when they are too big and unbalance the camera. Worth a go though. I do have some affiliate links in the description if that helps? Cheers Phil

A very nice video. Gives a very good overview of diffuser. I have got the diffuser (White & Silver) which you prefer to keep in your bag. However, I haven't used it much. After watching this video I will seriously try it. I have also the one which you tested first & rated 7/10. Again didn't use it much. I will try that as well. Thanks a lot for the nice Video !👍👍

Very nice comparisons, Riley! I've also ussed an index card (similar idea to your sheet of paper), which worked nicely as well. But for my on-camera flash work, I generally use either the Promaster code 1889 mini-softbox, or the flash accessory mods vailable for the Godox V860lll or the round head V1. (Godox makes a handy accessory (the SR-1) that converts a rectangular head to a circular head, which means that one mod kit will then work with both round and rectangular heads.. Thanks again!

That’s good info Steve, I must check out the Godox. Is the V1 better than the V860III other than being a round head?

@@rileyphotos Thanks, Riley! Not having experience with the V1, I'm not sure that it's "better" than the V860lll. I think the main differences are: The V860lll: uses the new V26A battery (though it's backwards compatible with the older battery), enabling slightly faster recycling times, covers 20-200mm zoom range, adds 1 extra wireless group (5 total), has the modelling lamp mounted on the flash body rather than in the head, and has a dedicated TTL/M switch. Thanks again!

@@rileyphotos Thanks mate, that would be great. Ive been doing photography since jubblesale cameras at 6 years old and its the one thing that ive found that never loses its magic. So agree theres always something new. Worked as a photographer for Pontins, Cruise ships (which was fun), Phantom Opera for a bit and ended up working for the M.O.D, the horrors of which caused ptsd. Had the help of friends and went on to support festivals instead. Its taken me 25yrs to climb out of ptsd and back on the path of professional photography again but ive done it!. Ive built up consistently over the last 4yrs, doing websites and have a wedding to do end of the month! EEe!! … and through all of it the love of photography is still there. If its ok, id like to stay in touch. All the best bro, take care.

But what about but what about but what about . . . ???!!! 😆 FANTASTIC comparison and you've convinced me on the smaller silver/white version. I assume (that word again) that since you didn't mention them that you don't think much of either the onboard flip-out clear diffuser or the tiny flip-out white card that most modern flashes have . . . or the bendable large-ish rectangle version that you can flap forward a bit at the top for directional light?
