Default DIY flip-it style diffuser for Nikon SB400 speedlight

Materials used:

1. Clip (costs PhP 9.00 for 6 pcs.)


2. Illustration Board (costs PhP 15.00, 1/8 size)


3. Garter (costs PhP 4.00 per meter)


4. Glue and "Mightybond"

STEPS:

1. I cut the illustration board into this dimension: 6cmX7cm. i made sure that the width of the illustration board is a little more than the flash gun's head. I attached one metal "handle" of the clip to the back of the illustration board.

2. I cut the garter and inserted it into the clip before glue-ing it. I made sure that the size of the diameter of the garter is fit enough to hold the diffuser in place.

3. voila! a home-made "flip-it" style diffuser for SB400.

Pics:






SAMPLE SHOTS TAKEN WITH THE DIFFUSER ON:





enjoy....

BUMP What are you using to adhere the clip to the foam board? and what is that, a hinge?
