I purchased this kit anticipating a family trip where much time would be spent outdoors without the benefit of good lighting or a ceiling to bounce a flash off of. The kit comes in a thin wallet that easily slid into my already stuffed bag and was a cinch to assemble on the fly.

I used the various pieces in different combinations throughout the trip and was pleased with the results - this kit helped soften the flash both outside and indoors and helped me take better pictures.

While the kit is light and compact, it does stand tall on the flash, which resulted in drawing a bit of attention in public places. It's a small price to pay for better shots.

I personally feel that if you're going to get any of the flash attachments out there and can only get one, go with this one!!! It's a great bounce, the 80-20 works really well with my style of shooting. The optional cards to make it full on or to even change the quality of light makes a great addition.

You do looking like a fool walking around with it though. It's like a lacrosse stick in your hands... I use it when the built in bounce card on my flash isn't getting the results I want. It folds flat and is easy to keep in the bag. Comes with a little flap/pouch/case whatever you want to call it to hold all the pieces together.

My order (as usual) was complete, and right on time. I never worry when I order from B&H.

I read countless reviews on this product and other similar ones. I am not nearly as enthusiastic as some, but it mostly does the job. The coverage distance is less than I expected using the bounce, but I adjusted my shooting accordingly. I wish there was an insert that is mid-way between the silver and gold, because in some cases the gold was too yellow but the silver was too bright (and the white or diffuser just weren't appropriate).

I bought this kit for an indoor wedding in a small church. I couldn't setup my usual lights on stands so I needed something to soften the on-camera light instead. This kit is excellent. I mostly used the 80-20 bounce accessory with the white card. I shot the entire wedding and reception with it. The light was soft, very pleasing, and looked natural and even. The silver and gold cards are much harder light sources, but the gold accessory is outstanding for evening weddings or events.

The kit is very well made also. The 80-20 bounce accessory is durable with thick plastic. The kit is very well constructed.

The whole kit folds up very small and includes a very nice billfold-style case to keep it stored nicely. Overall, this is a very good kit. Highly recommend.

I bought this for taking photos at events (parties, etc.) as well as taking photos of my pet reptiles for selling purposes.

Before I found this item I really, really needed something to cut back on harsh shadows for the reptiles specifically, because when I would take macro photos of them it would have such harsh outlines that were distracting from the quality of each of the creatures (or at least it was that way for me since I am artistically inclined). I bought this after doing a little research and listening to some suggestions and it works wonderfully. It illuminates my animals so well to show their true colors without being too washed out.

I also used this for taking photos of people at a baby shower the weekend I got it and it was great in illuminating their faces just enough so that it made everyone look good.

I have not used the gold and silver inserts but I can't wait until I get a situation to do so. I highly recommend this product just like everyone else who reviewed it. =)

I haven't had the chance to use the product besides a couple of test, but overall it looks professional made from good materials and will help me in outdoor photography where flash is needed

This system provides a lot of variety in a convenient package. The included case makes it easy to pack all of the bouncers into a bag ... and even has room to include the strap. My one complaint is that the strap isn't included ... so make sure you purchase that separately.

I like equipment that is versatile, every situation seems to need some tweeking. The 80/20 is versatile and folds up compactly. I've been using an 80/20 for many years (with homemade laminated white cardstock for the inserts). I've added a second 80/20 and bought this one instead of making some more inserts. I like the versatility of using as a true 80/20 or using as a bounce with the insert or with one of the inserts I made (i'll call a 50/50) that covers about half of the holes. I use medical paper tape to hold. It looks ugly but really works well. Some people don't like the way it attaches, I don't mind having the velcro strip stay on the flash, I'm a bit of a utilitarian.

I employ this on one flash off Camera, together with an off Camera Softbox on a second Flash. I can control where I want Light and how much I want. Excellant for Portrait and Real estate shots.

I used this for a photo shoot on the beach with my parents, works great for fill flash. Nicely softens flash indoors as well. Easy to set up and use.

Comments about LumiQuest ProMax 80-20 System - Six Piece Flash Light Modification Kit:

A little bigger than I thought, but when folded can be carried on easily.
I have used mainly the white bouncer and diffuser and it works great.
Remember to by the strap for it.

I haven't had a chance to use all of the modifiers yet. I've used the 80-20 stand-alone and the white card. The unit does exactly what it is designed to do and diffuses the light from my sb-700 to make protrait lighting more pleasing.

I opted to purchase the optional velcro strap rather than use the included adhesive strips.

It is easy to use and more convenient than carting around a softbox or umbrella.

The unit is well constructed and comes with a storage pouch so it stows easily in my bag.

I highly reccommend this unit to anyone who wants to immediately improve the quality of their flash pictures.

I have used this in large rooms with high ceilings for event photos and large groups. Works great, directs the light very nicely and not harsh. I bought the Gary Fong Collapsible first but the photos seemed flat so I exchanged it for this. Stows nicely in my small camera bag. I like it.

This is great for indoor shooting when you don't have a low enough ceiling to bounce your flash off.

After trying out the ProMax 80-20 system, I am excited to use it time after time. It works great for quick pics on the go. The system is lite and fits easily into my gear.
