[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 771265, member: 46690"] Hi Mike. After watching[URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZstWIk2cTU&list=PLFzaPa38AmWz-wuKqW_K2QUifq5tQhhQR&index=91"] this video[/URL] I myself got just an el cheapo diffuser cap and a small softbox attachment for my Yongnuo speedlight, and both work well. The cap is easier to pop on and off (I often just leave it on), but the soft box does give better light for portrait work (I have an even smaller one than the one shown in the video, which does reduce the effect a bit but is more portable and quicker to slip on). I probably will end up getting the "Flash Bender" at some time in the future, especially if I end up getting more into outdoor portraits and need a fill flash. Having said that...I did use the ol' white index card with rubber band trick back in my film days, and if you don't have access to anything else that's still a better option I think than a nekkid flash.
