I've been learning photography for about a year now. I have a Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible with Amber and Chrome Dome to use with my SB-700. It's my understanding that it's great if you're indoors because it spreads light in all directions which would then bounce around the room and back onto the subject. I've used it outdoors too as a fill light but realised that I was wasting a lot of light as it had no where to bounce. I do like my Lightsphere Collapsible but I find it large, heavy and it takes up too much space in my camera bag. I also cannot direct the light with this accessory so I am looking into replacing it with something better.
I've discovered the SpinLight 360 Extreme. It can bounce light in any direction you want, if there is nothing to bounce off, you can use the large white or black card that's provided. There is a half dome that can prevent light spill from hitting a subject, and there is a full dome that I assume would do what Gary Fong's Lightsphere does? It looks smaller, appears to be lighter and would possibly take up less bag space. It is however pretty expensive.
Has anyone used both these accessories? What are the pros and cons to each of them?
Thanks for any advice!
