ROGUERogue Photographic Design Rogue FlashBender 2 (Second Generation) - Large Soft Box Kit (Black/White)

Super excited to have these (I bought two) in my kit. Use to bounce or 'bend' the light from my flash(es), as a small soft box or as a flag. Highly recommended!

Frankly, when I ordered this, I already had many, many light diffusion devises to use with my flash units for corporate event work, the one type of my work with which I could surely use this. And, I had a particular job in mind for this Rogue Large "softbox" on which I wanted to try it out.Well that shoot is now over, and here are my thoughts about the softbox:1) It works as advertised, something that I was frankly skeptical about.2) The light quality is about the softest and most diffused of all the on-camera flash diffusers of the same relative size that I have so-far used. It could be just a little bit better, by more completely lighting the front diffuser, if the devise could always be optimally shaped, the materials fit a little better and the closures were more effective - the main complaints I have about the box.3) Because the light I did get was so good for the size of the box, I still gave this 5 stars, but 4.5 would be a better rating.4) Specifically, the strap fitting the box to the flash head slipped quite a bit, and, because this strap being tight and immovable is the key to the box working properly - not just to attach to the flash, but to actually make the shape of the box correct - it was the major problem I had with the design; I kept having to readjust it over the course of my job - not a good condition. Also, the Velcro along the edges and at the corners of the reflector and diffusion fabrics were weak-sticking and came apart much too easily. If the inside surface of the flash head gripping strap were made of a very much more "grippy" material to keep it from slipping, and if the Velcro used on the two fabric panels were of much greater "stickiness," then this box would easily be a "perfect" 5-star product, at a decent price.6) Otherwise, it's an ingenious design that really works to give you close to the maximum quality of light you could expect to hand hold for a long event with your flash attached on-camera. To do better, you'd have to go bigger, which would be too heavy and unwieldy for practical use on-camera at a long event, or, you'd have to go off-camera, at which time a whole different world opens up to you.

super outil pour la photo à avoir dans son sac!

Il prodotto è arrivato nei tempi previsti, con la confezione originale e la descrizione è conforme al prodotto. L'ho usato poco ma è davvero comodo, si monta facilmente, e la luce che produce è molto morbida. Il prezzo è abbastanza alto ma la qualità sembra ottima. Lo consiglio vivamente.

Perfekt für die Fototasche. Die Softbox (ich empfehle die Größe L) oder der weiche Aufheller für unterwegs. Mir gefällt das System sehr gut. Auch bei kleinen Objekten lässt sich das Rogue sehr gut einsetzen, um eine sanfte, Schlagschatten freie Ausleuchtung zu bekommen oder Highlights zu setzen. 72 € sind nicht wenig aber man hat den Rogue im Gegensatz zu einer Softbox immer dabei. Find ich gut.
