How to use

Place the diffuser over the head of a compatible compact flash and secure it with the elastic band so the fabric fully covers the flash head. Ensure the diffuser is centered to obtain even light distribution. Use the flash as usual; the fabric will soften and spread the light to reduce harsh shadows. Remove and fold the diffuser for storage when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For best results use the diffuser at short to moderate distances from the subject and combine with exposure adjustments if necessary. Avoid using the diffuser with flashes that overheat or are not intended for textile accessories; check your flash manufacturer’s guidelines if unsure.
