Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of LumiQuest Big Bounce
Customer Review: Wonderful for fill flash...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this with a little trepidation after reading other reviews, but my needs seemed a bit different. Frankly, I am mostly quite happy with the product. I don't typically use flash, but needed a way to fill some shadows when shooting outdoors. I prefer the use of a bounce card 4ft x 8ft, but used this in conjunction with that and sometimes in place of it.
The light I got was pleasantly soft and very natural looking. It creates a more natural eye catch-light than a bare flash as well.
I do not use flash as my primary source of light so I cannot comment on how the unit performs in that capacity. I can only say that I am VERY pleased with how this unit performs for fill-flash in otherwise good daylight.
I did not give the unit 5 stars only because it is quite heavy and there should be some provision given to allow it to be more securely fastened to the flash head. My unit never fell off the flash head, but I could see how that would happen. If your flash unit does not include a lock to keep it upright, this unit will prove a challenge with it's weight and bulk. I used it in both portrait and landscape mode, and with care it was fine. But it might frustrate those less patient.
Description of LumiQuest Big Bounce
LumiQuest Big Bounce enlarges and redirects and softens the light in the same manner as the Ultrasoft, with even softer results.Application: For use where a softer lighting effect is more important than "pocket size" portability (i.e. close-ups, portraits, etc.). Fits the same wide range of flashes as other LumiQuest models.Camera & Photo
