Comment from a new user.

A couple of months ago Michael was kind enough to send me an adaptor for a Quantum flash to try out.  Well I finally had the chance today.  I did a few shots as a test with the diffuser that comes with the Quantum and then using the same settings used your modifier.  Wow, what a great difference.  The images using the Quantum diffuser have the deer in the headlights look.  Your diffuser is much more natural looking.  Over the course of the next week or so, I'll experiment some more and forward on a few images.  Thank you Michael for sending the adaptor.

NEW PRODUCT!

We have had many requests for a kit using the Black Box and our Colored Gel filters. We now have available the Black Box Kit for use as a background or hair light and for creating dramatic lighting effects. Use the Black Box indoors when you don't want to light the entire room or ourdoors with the included CTO filter to add a little warm fill flash.The kit price offers a saving of almost $20.00 over the individual product pricing if purchased separately.


NEW FLASH MODELS

We have added the popular Canon 430EX and 430EX II to our available models.

Special Note: Canon 580EX II

The new Canon 580EX II flash has a larger flash head than the original 580EX flash. While it may be possible to force one of our existing flash adapters onto the new 580EX II we DO NOT recommend doing so. The new 580EX II has rubber weatherproof seals along both sides of the flash head and forcing an adapter over the seals could result in damage to the seals.  The new adapter for the 580EX II protects the weatherproof seals.


NOTES

 

Some users have requested a more detailed description on how to attach the large Light Box to the small black Adapter.

Here's How:
The large Light Box and the small black Adapter must be assembled before mounting onto the flash head. The small Dome may be mounted on the small Adapter or not. Begin by inserting the small Adapter through the front of the Light Box, guiding it through the smaller opening on the back of the Light Box. There are two internal alignment ribs on the large Light Box, one on each side of the rear opening. Use the alignment ribs to center and guide the small Adapter through the rear opening. Softly squeeze the rear opening of the Light Box together as you push the small Adapter into position. When fully seated the two pieces will snap together. Inspect the connection to make sure the two pieces are locked together completely. When mounted on the flash the connection is very secure.

To mount the assembled Light Box on the flash:
When mounting the Light Box on the flash, never apply pressure on the large Light Box. Apply pressure only on the small black Adapter.  Align the Adapter to match the contour of the flash head, then slip your hand inside of the large Light Box and press the black Adapter on to the flash until it is securely and fully seated. Be careful not to apply excessive force. When assembled correctly, the two channels on the Light Box will be facing the photographer when in bounce mode. When removing the Light Box from the flash grasp the black Adapter and pull the assembly from the flash.

Assembly is quick and easy once you become familiar with the Ultimate Light Box system.
