If you're looking for better light using your on-camera flash, Photek's Softlighter Hot Shoe Diffuser Kit (46") fits the bill: you get a 46" umbrella with a white interior and black removable cover, a diffuser panel with an opening for a hot shoe flash (not included) and the umbrella shaft, a set of Velcro tabs for the flash head, a hot shoe umbrella/light stand adapter with an adjustable hot shoe locking plate for mounting the flash/umbrella to a stand, and a set of silver and gold discs for modifying the color of the light. This setup gives you a broad, soft studio-quality light using only a battery-powered "on-camera" flash.

Easy to use. Nice and light-weight but could see how any significant wind would topple and damage this. will have to invest in something to stabilize it. Nice results in diffusing speed light

I use this product for portrait photography. This item is easy to setup and is versatile. Being able to use it as an umbrella reflector and a diffuser is awesome.

Love the softlighter for my flash. Works nicely + keeps up well with wear and tear.

This is the crown jewel of my streamlined kit. I only have gear that is easy to setup and tear down (No soft boxes allowed!)
Although this is my most complex piece of kit, I still can't get over how much one can do with it. From regular bounce umbrella to shoot-thru, to brolly box, to pseudo-octo box and the option of having silver, gold, black (gold reversed) reflector inserts. I will never run out of uses for this thing.
It is the best quality umbrella I own (vs. photoflex and impact) - as soon as I took it out of the kit the built quality was apparent. Comes with a great speedlight hotshoe/umbrella adapter as well.
I'm buying more!
