Gary Fong Lightsphere flash diffuser or Rogue FlashBender 2 - XL Pro Super Soft Silver Reflector

Hi,

Looking for diffuser to use with on camera flash. Any suggestions between the two or any other that you can recommend. For both indoor and outdoor.

Than you,

Look on YouTube and the web for videos and web articles on how well the Rogue FlashBender system works in the real world. I've seen some good stuff done with the FlashBender.

Yep, I use Flashbenders for my event work; works very well, and takes up a LOT less room in your bag than Fong Dong.

Found one similar on eBay and the price is only $3-$4 but FlashBender 2 - XL Pro Super Soft Silver Reflector is $59. Are they any different with the outcome of the picture?

probably not, flasher diffuser knock-offs are common on ebay, seem to work as well as the real product

nothing magical about how the flashbender and gary fong flash devices work. ebay knock-offs do the same job (but not as good as bouncing the flash light off a wall or ceiling)
