HOLIDAYSHIP

Hi guys, just ordered one of these LightScoops (deluxe version) which is essentially a "lite" version of a more expensive external flash units. It allows you to use bounce flash (in certain situations) with the inbuilt flash of your DSLR camera.

NOTE: The bargain is the HOLIDAYSHIP free shipping code which expires 31/12/2012. If you buy one, then this saves you about A$14 to ship from US to AUS.

Update: in the comments, it shows you can get the "normal" version much cheaper on ebay. However I bought the "deluxe" version for which currently I am unaware of any ebay cheapies.

        • Tardvark on 28/12/2012 - 20:43

          Ah I see. Good to know.

          I bought this for $5.55 delivered. Ebay item number 380520770383.

        • xgtrboy on 28/12/2012 - 23:22

          Does that have a mirror reflector? It's hard to tell what the reflective surface is on that one!

          zealmax: thanks for this. I bought one too, to test it out!

        • xgtrboy on 28/12/2012 - 23:22

          Thanks for that. Actually I got the "deluxe" version which allows both portrait and landscape modes, can't find that one on ebay!

        • zealmax on 28/12/2012 - 23:40

          Yeah its got a mirror.

    of these types of flash diffusers are just overpriced, you often get a similar effect just putting some thin tissue paper over the inbuilt dslr flashes to diffuse

    • obses2ion on 28/12/2012 - 22:55

      Agreed, I picked up a set of three puffer flashes off eBay for around $2. Anyway misleading title, I thought this was free or something ..

      • xgtrboy on 28/12/2012 - 23:24

        or something = "free shipping" :)

      • zealmax on 28/12/2012 - 23:39

        You can save your $2 and just use your phone or mirror to relfect the light towards the ceiling. Put the mobile phone in front of your popup flash and angle it around 40 degrees or so to relfect the light onto the ceiling. The light is bounced from the ceiling to create softer light. You may need to adjust your flash power to compensate for loss of light.

          lol, that is true Ozbargaining!
          If anyone finds a better price for the Lightscoop Deluxe model, do let us know!

        • zealmax on 28/12/2012 - 23:44

          I use this method more than the light scoop. I always have a phone with me. I don't usually carry around lightscoop.

        • xgtrboy on 29/12/2012 - 00:04

          thanks, this is a good trick to use, though while possible, my camera is quite heavy to hold with one hand so I'd rather keep the lightscoop in my bag.

        • zealmax on 29/12/2012 - 01:48

          Man up… unless you are a woman.

          Tape a mirror onto the camera. 2 cent hands free kit. If you are careful the piece of tape will last you a long time.

        • xgtrboy on 29/12/2012 - 06:44

          well given i already purchased the lightscoop, i'll just stick that on! i just tried your camera trick, actually, not bad at all!

    • xgtrboy on 28/12/2012 - 23:24

      No, this is a reflector to send the flash output to the ceiling for bounce. it is not a diffuser like what you're talking about and yes, I have bought some of those for a few dollars on ebay too. I just couldn't find this particular one (the deluxe version) anywhere else!
