Throw away your studio strobes?
Well almost. I am convinced this is the best $50 I have spent photographically speaking for many years. It literal preforms as well as a simple softbox set-up. It is easily transportable in a camera bag, it allows immediate change from landscape to Portrait shots on the fly without a strobe frame (Assuming your flash gun swivels), it is useful indoors with low ceilings and high ceilings, it works brilliantly outdoors as a soft fill light.
What if it turns out to be the best $50 you ever spent on getting better flash pictures - won't you be delighted?

Amazing diffuser
I have been using diffuser's for a few years and settled on a lumiquest model.I then learned of Gary Phongs diffuser and was interested immediatly.The problem with my diffuser was that it was too directional.This unit spreads the light around much more evenly.I used it at a candlelit wedding ceremony and was pleased with the results.I plan to buy the other model as well.

Gary Fong Shpere Lightsphere II
I just purchased your Sphere II Pro kit.
I was very eager to get after watching your videos on-line.
My flash is Canon 580EXII and I ordered C2/P2 to fit.
I double checked the spheres and it is correct P2.
My problem is that both spheres fit loose.
A couple little bumps and they will fall off.
If I hang my camera over my shoulder on the strap and the sphere bumps
my leg it falls to the floor. This make one look like a bumbling fool that charges $150.00 an hour and can't keep his equipment together.
My other concern is the chrome dome will spin on the sphere after it is snapped in place. Again, a couple little bumps and the chrome dome is pointed in the wrong direction.
The clear and amber domes snap and hold tight in place on the sphere.
What is going wrong?
It seems likem the part of the sphere that slides over the flash head needs to be longer to make the sphere hold better.
Bottom line is it's more trouble than it's worth and will send back.
But give it a try, I'm sure it fits better on some flashes than others.
As soon as it falls off with a gust of wind or slight bump and falls to a place you can't pick it up, all is good...
