Honl Photo Gobo Bounce Card for Speed System (Black/White)
The HonlPhoto Gobo Bounce Card is a 4 x 7.5" two-sided bounce card, made of a tough black ballistic nylon on one side and a white polymer on the other. The white side can be used as a standard bounce card, to bounce and scatter the light output of the flash. The black side can be used to keep light from flaring into your lens when using a flash as a background or hair light.
The Gobo Bounce Card connects directly to Speed Strap (sold separately).
- Two-side bounce card
- Combine two for a "barn door" setup

I use the bounce card to diffuse light from my flash when indoors. It softens the light output for a more natural look. I use it with a Nikon SB 600 SB 900 with no attachement issues. You will need to purchase the Velcro strap to mount it to your flash. They should make it a package deal.

Comments about Honl Photo Gobo Bounce Card for Speed System (Black/White):
Works great as expected, simple design, grab 2 for a "barn door" effect on a flash. Use two speed lights with 2 of these barn door setups at 45deg from the rear to each side of a subject to create interesting wrap around rim light. \
Better constructed than expected.

Comments about Honl Photo Gobo Bounce Card for Speed System (Black/White):
I really like this bounce card a lot, the only bummer is that it doesn't come with the strap. I didn't realize that until I'd already gotten it [...]. That was a bummer. Otherwise I really like this.

Comments about Honl Photo Gobo Bounce Card for Speed System (Black/White):
Very handy, well made. Always going to make some but for this price it's hardly worth it. Very rigid too, should hold up well being buried in a camera bag.

Comments about Honl Photo Gobo Bounce Card for Speed System (Black/White):
This is best used as a gobo, and perfect for that. It's larger than it looks in the photo-- much wider than flash. Would be a little large for bounce card, but very effective I'm sure. It's construction is very high quality, and it could also be used as a white balance card.

After using make shift bounce cards for years, I finally broke down and bought this wonderful product. I will probably be buying more Gobo products in the future.

Comments about Honl Photo Gobo Bounce Card for Speed System (Black/White):
As a photographer who used to like the little plastic thingy that pulls out the top of the Nikon speedlight units, when using an SB-800 as a remote off-camera unit for fill, kicker light, or background light in a travel portrait situation, I decided to try this for both its larger surface area and gobo effects. Love it! Not a lot more to say.
It attaches easily, stows in virtually no space at all, and is very versatile as a lighting accessory. Nicely made, too.

Comments about Honl Photo Gobo Bounce Card for Speed System (Black/White):
I use this as a flag for a background light. Works pretty well. Could also be used in the same way for bouncing on-camera flash, either to diffuse the light, or attach it to the front, to get all bounce, and no direct light.

Comments about Honl Photo Gobo Bounce Card for Speed System (Black/White):
The Honl Gobo Bounce Card and attaching strap replaced a 23 year old fill card that saw a lot of mileage. The Honl card is an excellent product that has met all my expectations for giving me fill light capability on any on-camera flash.

- Strap should be included
