It converts from a beauty dish to a small soft box too. It fits in the front pocket of my camera bag easily and works with my Quadras and SB900s without any extra adaptors.

For super-quick switching, I attached a small (2″) Kirk quick-release plate
to the strap. Now I simply attach/detach the strap from the camera by
using the quick-release plate — no more screwing anything on and off. I can go from strap to tripod in one or two seconds.
