- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2022I'll admit that I'm a bit of a Godox fanboy, and was quite surprised at myself for giving this diffuser a less-than-perfect assessment.
The idea is great - a large white tent that fits over the front of your flashgun, enlarging and softening the small light. The diffuser comprises a rubber-type rectangular cone with a white plastic, opal diffuser panel at the front, and a round ribbed opening at the back. There are 3 light head adapters that can be fitted in this hold - a rectangular mount with a screw-clamp for attaching to the standard flash-head, a round mount for fastening to continuous LED heads, and a round mount with a magnetic ring, for attaching to Godox round heads, such as the V1 or the AD200 round head.
The mounts are ridged and the rubber is stretched over them. This in itself isn't difficult, but be careful not to dislodge the front panel if you are struggling to get the mount fitted.
The magnetic ring does allow you to use the round head modifiers - grid, colour gels, etc. This is where it gets difficult. The hood grips the mount tightly, so it requires some effort to change the mounts. I have often dislodged the extra modifiers from the ring when trying to mount it.
It is because the kit can be fiddly, that I have dropped a star.
Beyond that, it works a treat and produces quite a nice smooth light from an otherwise harsh flashgun.
A couple of sample shots of one of my sister's plant show unsoftened flash then softened.
Finally, this is aimed at Godox flash and works perfectly on the AD200, V1 TT600. I did attach it to the Nikon SB910. It fits a treat and works perfectly - for forward-facing flash. The bounce head is not as stiff as the Godox guns, so the weight of the diffused will make the Nikon's head drop back down.
A great idea, just a bit of a faff to use.
