[QUOTE="Ranie, post: 12358, member: 2495"] I have been using off cam flash for quite a while and have had used a lot of light modifiers. One of the light modifiers that I usually use are grids. I have a set of Honl grids [URL="http://www.honlphoto.com/servlet/the-Speed-Grids%E2%84%A2/Categories"]Results for Speed Grids[/URL] for about a year. I'm very happy with them. As you can see from the link, they are not cheap but the quality is very good. I decided to make one since I have the luxury of time this weekend. I had pre-ordered plastic honeycombed multi-cell packs last December for this project. I got them from saxonpc.com [URL="http://saxonpc.com/honeycomb-multicell-pack1.html"]Honeycomb Multi-Cell Pack[/URL] Here are your choices: [URL]http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-61592496875354_2140_6552[/URL] [ATTACH]1283._xfImport[/ATTACH] The list of material I used are: the grids i ordered cutter contact cement marker ruler and some closed cell foam that i have found on some boxes here on my house these are the foams used to pack electronic appliances and other stuffs (preferably black) I fabricated a mount for the grids to my flash using this closed cell foams. Here it is after gluing the layers front (this side is where you insert the grid) [ATTACH]1284._xfImport[/ATTACH] back ( this side is where you insert to the flash) [ATTACH]1285._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is the finished product, I did wrap some black duct tape to finish off some uneven cuts on the foam. Front [ATTACH]1286._xfImport[/ATTACH] Side [ATTACH]1287._xfImport[/ATTACH] Back [ATTACH]1288._xfImport[/ATTACH] The rubber bands on my flash are used to secure the gels Total cost for this project is less than $10 ( for 2 grids) and about an hour of your time.
