Light diffuser Godox AK R11 Dome — softening dome for studio and on-location lighting

Godox AK R11 Dome is a light-diffusing dome designed to soften and evenly distribute output from compatible studio and on-location flash units. The dome reduces harsh shadows and specular highlights to produce more uniform illumination for portrait, product and still-life photography. It attaches quickly and securely to supported round and portable heads, allowing photographers to control light quality with minimal setup.

Advantages

The AK R11 Dome delivers a soft, even beam that minimizes contrast and reduces concentrated hotspots, improving skin tones and surface detail. Its magnetic attachment system enables fast mounting and removal, and compatibility with other AK-R1 accessories allows flexible configurations for different lighting needs. The low-profile shape keeps the light source compact while expanding the effective emitting area.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography where softer skin rendering is required
• Product and still-life shoots to reduce specular reflections
• On-location work with portable flash units for controlled, diffused light

Key specifications

• Designed for use with round flash heads and compatible portable units
• Magnetic attachment for fast mounting and removal
• Compact dome form factor that broadens the effective light source
• Dimensions: 78.7 × 78.7 × 5 cm

How to use

Align the dome with the flash head and let the magnetic attachment secure it in place. Use the dome alone for general softening or combine it with other AK-R1 accessories to modify spill, spread or color. Position your flash and subject as usual; the dome increases apparent source size so you may need to adjust distance or power to achieve the desired exposure and shadow falloff.

Usage recommendations

For portrait work, place the flash slightly above eye level and angle the dome to shape catchlights. For small product setups, reduce flash power or move the light slightly farther away to avoid overexposure while maintaining soft shadow transitions. When combining accessories, verify secure attachment before use.
