Great For Diffusing Light!
You gotta have if you're a photographer! You don't need the big fancy stuff...what for? When you can use this!
It does its job but its no miracle worker
The Omni-bounce is an expensive Tupperware but it does its job if the environment permits it, meaning if you have low to normal height ceiling then it does a good job of scattering the light from your strobe, giving that nice soft light.
But if you are outdoors or in a place with very high ceilings then it does nothing to help.
I should not have listened to the hype, I could have bought different sets of Tupperware cut their top and still had the same effect plus I would have had some left for sodas and fries, oh well, I learned my lesson.
Achieves its purpose
Most people familiar with flash know about Sto-Fens, or will shortly. They're about the cheapest decent way to diffuse your flash somewhat. Don't expect amazing diffusion -- not possible from something this small -- but it makes a noticeable difference compared to direct flash.
Shadows are still present, but they're noticeably softer than with direct flash. If you're hoping for decent night or evening outdoor pictures using one, well, it's still close to direct flash, honestly... so just keep that in mind. A small umbrella is going to go a lot further to help even out the shadows.
It would be nice if Sto-Fen made a taller version of this; it would help quite a bit.
