I am in love with my XL Rogue Flash Bender. It comes with a strip light panel and a regular softbox panel (just google XL rogue flash bender and you will see what I am saying). I used it quite often in the past with the strip light panel for kicker light in studio portrait shots, but I never used it with on camera flash, with the regular softbox diffusion panel, for event/documentary photos… not until last Wednesday at a U of T engineering alumni event.
Just check out how badass the lighting is…

I am no way affiliated with Rogue or ExpoImaging, nor am I associated with any commercial body, so I am not here promoting any product to anyone. However, I really feel like writing a post to talk about this product because I am in love with it. Love the light. Love how soft it is. Yet it’s very edgy compare to ceiling bounce or wall bounce. Unlike ceiling bounce or wall bounce, it puts a hot spot (but very soft!) on my main subject and falls off nicely, allowing the background to go dimmer. Overall I feel like the rogue XL flash bender is definitely a great piece of speed light attachment. I am glad that I own it.
