Your cart is empty.The Rogue FlashBender2 soft box makes a beautiful main light for portraiture because it softens light while reducing contrast and specular highlights. When configured as a soft box the light becomes more directional than the base reflector alone, effectively eliminating bounced and reflected light. The versatile, shapeable Flash Bender 2 Large Reflector is adaptable for use with on-camera or off-camera flash. It can be used as a bounce flash reflector, gobo, or snoot to soften, shape and control your main, background, hair, rim, or accent lights. The Large Silver/Black Attachment is reversible. With the silver side facing out, the attachment produces a higher contrast, more reflective surface than the Large Reflector's white surface. The less-reflective black side acts as a large flag, creating a hard edge with more dramatic shadows. What's New with Flash Bender 2? New Attachment Design: Flash Bender 2 reflectors use an improved belt and buckle design to provide a faster and more secure attachment to your flash. The integrated attachment strap is adjustable to fit all popular brands of accessory flashes with a circumference measuring from 8" to 9 3/4". New 20% - 30% Lighter Weight Reflectors: We developed custom fabrics for the Flash Bender 2 Reflectors to reduce weight and soften highlight reflections. The softer fabrics also allow for increased flexibility and improved light shaping abilities.

Super excited to have these (I bought two) in my kit. Use to bounce or 'bend' the light from my flash(es), as a small soft box or as a flag. Highly recommended!

Great way to get started with using flash. Though I have no idea how flash photography really works yet, this is helping me learn the basics and introducing me to some challenges that you can't really learn from a book. One complaint is I got a free Blue-gel, would've been cool to choose, or had a warm-colored-gel instead.The quality of the item, packaging and everything inside are great. Dunno where this is made, but its not cheap-feeling or cheap-looking.I'd definitely get more (and maybe different sizes too) if and when flash-photography becomes more of a regular thing. For now, its in the bag as I do street-photos.

Perfekt für die Fototasche. Die Softbox (ich empfehle die Größe L) oder der weiche Aufheller für unterwegs. Mir gefällt das System sehr gut. Auch bei kleinen Objekten lässt sich das Rogue sehr gut einsetzen, um eine sanfte, Schlagschatten freie Ausleuchtung zu bekommen oder Highlights zu setzen. 72 € sind nicht wenig aber man hat den Rogue im Gegensatz zu einer Softbox immer dabei. Find ich gut.

Frankly, when I ordered this, I already had many, many light diffusion devises to use with my flash units for corporate event work, the one type of my work with which I could surely use this. And, I had a particular job in mind for this Rogue Large "softbox" on which I wanted to try it out.Well that shoot is now over, and here are my thoughts about the softbox:1) It works as advertised, something that I was frankly skeptical about.2) The light quality is about the softest and most diffused of all the on-camera flash diffusers of the same relative size that I have so-far used. It could be just a little bit better, by more completely lighting the front diffuser, if the devise could always be optimally shaped, the materials fit a little better and the closures were more effective - the main complaints I have about the box.3) Because the light I did get was so good for the size of the box, I still gave this 5 stars, but 4.5 would be a better rating.4) Specifically, the strap fitting the box to the flash head slipped quite a bit, and, because this strap being tight and immovable is the key to the box working properly - not just to attach to the flash, but to actually make the shape of the box correct - it was the major problem I had with the design; I kept having to readjust it over the course of my job - not a good condition. Also, the Velcro along the edges and at the corners of the reflector and diffusion fabrics were weak-sticking and came apart much too easily. If the inside surface of the flash head gripping strap were made of a very much more "grippy" material to keep it from slipping, and if the Velcro used on the two fabric panels were of much greater "stickiness," then this box would easily be a "perfect" 5-star product, at a decent price.6) Otherwise, it's an ingenious design that really works to give you close to the maximum quality of light you could expect to hand hold for a long event with your flash attached on-camera. To do better, you'd have to go bigger, which would be too heavy and unwieldy for practical use on-camera at a long event, or, you'd have to go off-camera, at which time a whole different world opens up to you.

Il prodotto è arrivato nei tempi previsti, con la confezione originale e la descrizione è conforme al prodotto. L'ho usato poco ma è davvero comodo, si monta facilmente, e la luce che produce è molto morbida. Il prezzo è abbastanza alto ma la qualità sembra ottima. Lo consiglio vivamente.

I bought this after using a couple of the larger XL Benders in my home studio. I do headshots part time and I love the light I get with the big ones. That said, their pretty big to use on camera for something like a wedding or party setting. That's where this one fits in. I don't know what the magic is with these in the material or coating or whatever it is they're made of, but, with a speedlite and one of these I get great, soft light, esp with the diffuser panel on it. There are a lot of pros that probably wouldn't agree, but I think you can say goodbye to large softboxes and umbrellas once you try these. They're a little pricey, but they beat all the other speedlite things I've tried; other bounce-reflectors, mag mod gear, etc. Even if all you want is great light for casual/family etc. type shooting and need to use a flash, then a FlashBender will be the best accessory to get next.

Just happened to run across this on prime. Had to get ! Great little flag/reflector/softbox for when you can't take a dedicated softbox and stand. Great for travel. Many times I try to bounce off anything available and fix in post, this takes up a lot of time in LR or PSCC. I can use this as an off camera flash/softbox with nice results considering the fact that I only purchased the large. The extra large would work better but, it looks kinda goofy to pop that on in a quite restaurant in Europe.Nice when it’s inconvenient to carry a softbox and a stand but , it is a bit heavy and because of that will eventually make your flash flop forward , eventually damaging the little teeth inside the flash that keeps it in place. I was hoping it was a fix for a little softened light in a tight fix but now carry a small , circular, foldable, reflector just in case (but a table napkin works too)

This flash diffuser works great. Attaches easily and quickly to my 580ex II's. Thows out lots of softened light and the best part is that it folds up nice and flat for easy transport in the front pocket of my rolling case. Very convinient and handy for weddings/events.

I have purchased numerous name brand diffusers and the Rogue should have been my first and only purchase. It is so versatile and easily stored in my camera bag. It is quickly attached and removed from the flash while completely sturdy while on the flash. The diffusion provides a nice soft light when on camera flash is a must. I would recommend the Rogue to everyone.

This is my 5th Rogue purchase, and 1st of the XL series. It's big! Exactly what i needed. It's an awesome product if you require a bigger more focused light source with plenty of flexibility, but still need backpackable lightweight portability. It is really too big to be used on camera, although it can be done. I'll likely be buying another one soon.As a multi speedlight user i find the Rogue product line to be excellent in all around quality and love the winning combination of flexibility and portability that they deliver. My only critique is that they are a bit pricey, especially when you start collecting them as i have, but if speedlights are your thing, they do deliver a solid bang for the buck
