When I first saw this thing on Neil’s Tangents site, my brain started clicking thinking how could I fabricate something from black PVC. I thought maybe I could come up with some DIY thing that would accomplish some of what the SpinLight could but not as elegant. It’s not all that costly but I just like the challenge.

I’d like to see it put to thorough use in a comprehensive evaluation is a lot of different situations.

I’d like to try these out too. I have one made by Fong and I’m not pleased with it, I wonder how well these are made.

Would rather have seen some pictures shot with these modifiers, instead of pictures of the product itself, this doesn’t say much yet for me, although I strictly use speedlights…

Looks like a great concept. It’s one of those things were you ask “Now, why wasn’t this thought of before, like 10 years ago?”.

I first heard about this from Neil Van Neikerk, from whom I learned to light on the run. I currently use Neil’s Black Foamie Thing ($0.99 piece of foam from Walmart with a rubber band to hold it on the flash), and this seems like it’ll do the same thing for me, only be faster, easier, and more versatile. Here’s Neil’s post about how something like this can improve your run-and-gun lighting: http://neilvn.com/tangents/2012/09/25/tutorial-bounce-flash-photography/

Seems interesting…I don’t like the absence of a grid option though – if that was also an option, I would probably be first in line to try them out…
