I've already had a tonne of fun with this thing and I've only had it a couple days. Set up is super fast, it works with both ef and ef-s mount lenses (maybe others but those are the two canon mounts I have)... and it accepts pretty much any flash I have on hand by virtue of using a velcro loop to hold it in place. Throwing a zoom lens on the front gave me even more experimental fun... I already have some pretty spectacular results... this thing is going to end up taking over some space in my bag.
I have one basic complaint with the unit so far, though. First when the flash is inserted into the body the way the directions call for, I cannot fold the flash into a full 90 degree tilt. This isn't a huge problem, but I already ran into a situation once where I needed just a little more room to hide the blaster in frame and being unable to due to the extra length of the flash hanging out the back. If you don't push the flash in all the way to get around this you get some light leakage... not a whole lot but I am going to have to figure out a solution to this the next time it pops up. A little cinefoil might be the answer.
I'd like to see a hotshoe adapter for the unit made available. It has threading on the bottom which will allow you to screw it onto various lighting stands and tripods... but some of my equipment is on the cheaper side and doesn't have thread mount. An adapter would make the unit more flexible, but I'm sure I can probably rig one together on my own.

Awesome!
Great product! Super awesome lighting modifier. The size and brightness of the image you get really depend on the lens you attach. I don't have many Canon-fit lenses to try but with my Samyang 35mm f1.4 it worked a treat! It worked well with my Pixapro LED at low power settings (Needs the adapter available from Spiffy, and I also made a DIY adapter in a few minutes from the end cap thing that was included with my light. See photo) and even with my Olight S30R II pocket torch. Keep in mind this is not suitable for hot lights, as it might melt. I loved the gobo set and slide sets available for this. I was also impressed by the accessories. Nice carry case, etc.

eine gute Idee technisch perfekt umgesetzt, aber der Preis scheint mächtig überzogen
