Found some cheap flash gridspots at last

ki_user · 31 Jan 2010

Decided to post this because I posted a thread before as I couldn't find any. I have two of these now and they work really well, they will also make them to the size you need and a snip at £8.50 delivered.

what sizes did you get (gridspot and length) and would you recommend them sizes?
Thanks

OK I haven't had them long and not really got the hang of them yet. But here you go.

I likey do they velcro onto the head? (I have a velcro ring for gels ect that stops just behind a stofen and it'd be lush to have it velcro to that

whats the fit like?

ki_user · 1 Feb 2010

They are slightly stretch as you put them on so it's nice and snug, also gives you a chance to angle it a bit

I've ordered one for my Canon Speedlight 580EX2 - will be interested to see the results - look easy enough to fit... Hope they are durable

Mine seem to be holding up just fine, used it quite a bit, I know it might sound sad but they are fun.

that just looks to be black polypropylene fluted board cut to shape. The white stuff is what Estate agent signs are often made of.

ki_user · 10 Feb 2010

Correct, that's the stuff. Was looking at this one too http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200426076861&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT but you have to put it together yourself and there is no way of securing it.
