Soft light is very important when shooting macro subjects as it shows great detail, reduces harshness and also makes the image pleasant looking. Also the light coverage over the subject is very important.The diffuser will work great for insects, frogs, small snakes like pit vipers and anything similarly sized. The closer you are to the subject better the diffusion.. This diffuser has 5 attachable parts and can be completely dismantled and packed flat into a 15 inch bag which can easily go into a laptop compartment of a camera bag or your travel bag/suitcase for portability.It also has a detachable bottom reflector which can be used to bounce back light in situation where you are getting shadows under the subject and want to have light evenly fill in. In situations where you might no be able to use the bottom reflector you can easily detach it and mount it on top of the diffuser.It has a Led module designed specially for focus assist in dark situations, it is powered by Powerbank (optional).The light coming from it will be more than enough to gain focus of any subject in dark conditions.This diffuser is compatible with DSLRs, Mirrorless cameras with lenses ranging from 60mm to 180mm macro lens with and without raynox adapters or extension tubes attached and available for different type of speedlights ( Standard sized flash, mini flash, Round head flash). ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. As one time installation attach the Beetle ring and you can leave it on permanently. The Pro regular size comes with 67mm ring & 62mm ring which is common among most of the macro lenses in the range of 80mm to 120mm. Even if the filter thread size is slightly different you can still attach the cord around anywhere on the lens, 2. Be gentle when assembling and disassembling, especially with snap-on buttons. 3. Attach all 3 buttons on the front diffusion panel, 4. The latch strap allows angle adjustments for the diffuser; avoid bending it unnecessarily to prevent breakage. 5. The focus assist LED is very bright, turn it on only when needed. On a fully charged 5000mAh power bank, it lasts a little over 1 hour at full brightness, but the brightness can be reduced with the provided dimmer switch. 6. White Balance: Set your camera’s white balance to custom/Kelvin mode and try values between 5000 to 6000 7. Use the flash’s built in wide-angle diffuser 8. Assemble the diffuser once upon receiving it to familiarise yourself before using it on a trip, as first-time assembly may seem tricky. White balance To get the correct colours while using the Diffuser set your camera white balance to custom/Kelvin mode and try values in the range of 3800 to 4500. Shoot any small colourful subject while trying these values and once you have found the sweet spot use that value whenever you use the diffuser.
