Diffusion May 2020
This setup uses an AD200 Pro head on their extension head. The head is mounted on the camera hot shoe, and I wear the battery pack on my belt. I use a PC sync cable to trigger the flash. By using the bare bulb I get decent on-axis light, but then a lot of light bounces off of the Rogue Flashbender 2 XL Pro. I don't get a hot spot on the sheet of diffusion media because so much light comes off of the flashbender. I also use a small sheet of media strapped under the lens which acts like a fill light by reflecting light back up. The lower sheet is floppy enough that I can smash it up against foliage, or pull it back with my finger if needed to get close. The main diffuser is mounted on a small friction arm so I can adjust the angle up and down as needed.
