Adstudio's Flexibounce


First of all, let me give you a brief introduction for this product. It is created by a local studio called Adstudio. The flexibounce just been added to the list of light modifiers already in the market. So what makes this product stands above the rest?


The flexibounce is made of plastic board which can be normally found in plastic folders in stationery shops. It's is very lightweight and on the inner walls of flexibounce, there are 3 reflectors to redirect the light so it's concentrated to the opening and to the diffuser on top. This is to minimized on the light spilled to the back of the camera.

Size wise it's more or less the same size as the Gary Fong's lightsphere and whaletail but definitely more portable and lighter. This is a plus point for the Flexibounce since its light weight and foldable and so it fits perfectly into my camera bag without taking much space.

Another ingenious design comes from the mount area of the Flexibounce. It uses a velcro strip glued together to an anti slip mat. Just velcro it around the flash head and attach the Flexibounce and you're all set. The good thing about this design is that, it will fit most if not all the external flash unit in the market. Neat huh.

The Flexibounce is built for event photography on camera flash. Its lightweight gives you the flexibility to move around without having to carry more weight. The design of the Flexibounce helps to spread the light for wide group shots. However you can still have the options between a 80%-20%, bounce and fill light setting VS 20%-80% setup.

So the conclusion is that, this is no miracle light modifier but it's nonetheless a good product. Should you buy it? I would say try it out first, see if you likes it.

Okay, before I sign off, here's a group shot using the Flexibounce. I don't know about you, but I think it's a little over exposed.
