The Gary Fong LSU-CLOUD Lightsphere Universal Inverted Dome Cloud Flash Diffusion System is a large, round, soft and flexible diffuser that slips over the front of any standard shoe mount flash unit. The inside of the Lightsphere is completely textured to make the light dispersion even more soft than it would be otherwise. And because of this design, it is possible to make the material more translucent, keeping the unit from losing a lot of light while actually increasing the diffusion and softness of light.An opaque color has been added to the inside of the Cloud version, and this frosted version creates an even softer effect, which makes it ideal for close-ups, portraits, and event photography. The included inverted dome allows you to softly diffuse direct light with a large, soft source without creating flare on the front of your lens.
