Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Gary Fong C4 Cloud Lightsphere II, Inverted Dome Flash Diffusion System.
Customer Review: You Need The Cloud Lightsphere
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, the price is a bit above what other diffusers sell for, but the Lightsphere is well worth the money.
How many other diffusers come with an instructional CD?
I have most of the other diffuser makes and will never go back to them.
The lightsphere works!
It works great for backlit subjects in very high contrast situations, in tight corners, it works at auto shows, which are usually a horror story for photographers.
I love using the Lightsphere for portrait work, where I use the Lightsphere on-camera and an umbrella with another flash off to the side of me. The Lightsphere serves as the trigger for the other flash and does a marvelous job as a fill flash.
I highly recommend the Lightsphere II Cloud
Customer Review: Great soft light, lower power
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using the Lightsphere for about 4 months now; and I am getting some great portraits; it gives out some amazing diffused light, it even serves as a stand for the flash; in a pinch, I use off camera wireless flash, and when I do not have a stand, I just place the flash-Lightsphere upside down on top of a table or even on the floor.
I can only find 2 downsides to the Lightsphere; one it is bulky and it takes a lot of space in my camera bag; second, it drains the battery life of th flash faster, since the flash has to work harder to get more light out.
Customer Review: Great diffusor but you need to watch the video first
Summary: 5 Stars
I have this for several weeks and used it for a lot of interior shots --- now I am really happy with lighting a room with a single flash. Watch the video, the tips are invaluable, otherwise it's not immediately obvious how to use it best and the results won't be as good as they can be. This "cloud" version requires a +1 flash adjustment. Now I need the Amberdome Light Warming accessory to match the flash color to interior background lighting. The ChromeDome accessory would solve one of the reviewer's problems with the flash lighting up the whole room.Customer Review: Not bad!

My first impression, i saw many video in youtube.. I was wondering about reviews. So, i brought one to try it out.. It works very well. After a week later i noticed they made a newer version called Collapsible. I was kind of missing out. I do want that one too. Anyways, for the people think about this item vs the Collapsible. I don't know is it better than this one. I really wish it came with a DVD on this item.. Sometime, it doesn't work what it suppose to. I need the dvd and watch gary fong video beside the ones on youtube.Customer Review: Product lived up to reviews.
Summary: 5 Stars
There is not much to say about the Cloud Lightsphere II, it lived up to the reviews I read before ordering it.
The cloud sphere does a mavelous job of providing diffused light over the entire subject. The price was good and I am completely satisfied. It does look a bit dorky, but I tell my friends who know that I was a meteorlogist that it is my portable rain gauge.
