What snoot do you have for your flash?

13 years 2 months ago #31359 by The Gardener
Did you make one from construction paper or did you buy one? I made one from black construction paper, but it doesn't work as well as I would like it. Really the problem is I don't get a good seal around my flash.

What are you using?

Have you seen those flash benders? Pretty cool item you can role up into a snoot

Have you looked at the HONL light modifiers? These things work pretty good for snoots, plus then you get something you can bounce light around also.

The Honl looks a lot like the flash bender system. I wonder how close in design they both are.

I might need to get me one of these. I've been getting more and more into off camera flash these days.

I had one of those "types" too. I just picked up one of those Rouge Flash benders and I think this is much better quality than others out there. My friend has one of those collapsible plastic ones and a Honl. This one is just better IMHO.

I use the Interfet Strobies snoot that came with the Strobies kit. I like it, it works well. It is metal and comes with 2 different grids for the end of the snoot. This is a picture of my dog with the snoot.
