Donnell,

I use the stroboframe quick flip with with the stofen omni bounce and the westcott micro apollo softbox, this is a much better modifier than that piece of crap that Lumiquest sells.

The stroboframe is a must for using a flash in a group, the added distance from lens kills red eye very well. But watch out, that added hight can get a flash hotshoe or TTL shoe broken fairly easily...and yes I've done this.

The Stofen Omnibounce does a good job of softening the flash but it doesn't do much at all for the strobes contrast and shadow edges aren't softened very much at all.

The Westcott Micro Apollo does a great job diffusing the light, softening shadows and lowering the strobes contrast. Micro Apollo on B&H

Cheers,
Ernie
