Comments about Honl Photo 1/8" Speed Grid for Speed System:

This product is very well built. Another advantage is that it can fit almost any speedlight existing. The beam of light is of nice quality and you don't loose too much light. Perfect for the speedlighter

While the idea of a grid for a shoe-mount flash is a good one, the design of these "speed grids" leaves a lot of room for further refinment. First, the so-called attachment system using Velcro straps is amatuer-ish and does not hold the grid to the flash head face securely. Apparently, Honl tried a one size-fits-all-flashes approach, but it's a failure in my opinion. Attaching the grid with Velcro to a Velcro band - which is an additional $10 option - that wraps around the flash head leaves the grid loose and sloppy. For the price of these grids, which isn't cheap, they should precisely fit your Canon or Nikon flash without resorting to using Velcro. They are not speedy to attach to a flash and a not worth the cost. I regret buying these expensive pieces of junk.

Beats the heck out of my DIY versions.

This is a nice accessory just to have around. It'll do what it's supposed to do. Doesn't offer that much in the way of construction, but is way better than most self-made devices with straws. Save yourself the money on speed strap unless you need it for another accessory....can just stick velcro on your flashes to attach the grid.

Does what it is supposed to.

Love it, didnt have trouble with the learning curve. Its amazing. It is a bit pricey for what it is but once you see the results, money is no longer a regret. Go for it.

Well constructed and produces a tight beam. I was on the fence about this for a while (considering the price), but I am glad I pulled the trigger.

It's build very well. Sure you could use straws or cardboard to create a DIY version, but Honl brings it up to a professional level. Works very well when you play with the zoom on your speedlight. A must for strobist just starting out. FYI, you can also buy industrial standard velcro to attach to the speedlight at any department store.

This is a great grid. Easy to use, lightweight, and large enough to fit on many models of speedlight. Be sure to buy a velcro strap to wrap around the flash head, otherwise you won't have anything to secure the grid to.

Great value, great product.

Excellent results from initial use thus far. Very pleased with the performance, quality and construction. I'm not sure why others think this is flimsy - seems quite sturdy to me.

If you need to throw some light in a specific area, this will do the trick. The light is not as hard as the 8" reflector in a snoot formation. It's nice to have a step down from that in the bag. Though it is much bigger than it looks in the photo, it is worth making space in the bag to carry it. It pops on with very little effort at all. Be careful not to smash the grid with a heavy lens in your bag. I just throw it in the front pocket to avoid any problems.

I use on my canon 580ex II for a spotlight effect. No complaints. Narrows beam significantly (a good thing)

Comments about Honl Photo 1/8" Speed Grid for Speed System:

Fits 430exii, 580exii, and Vivitar 285HV (with the zoom hood on).

Rugged frame construction protects the less-rugged matrix of straws that modify the light. It's a little on the bulky side.

Creates tight spotlight with consistent results among the abovementioned flashes.

This is one of the easiest to use light modifiers I've found for speed lights. I have both this and the 1/4" grid with speed straps and they are quick to set up and quick to use and give me exactly the focus I'm looking for.

Comments about Honl Photo 1/8" Speed Grid for Speed System:

These grids are probably around 3/4 of an inch wide. They could have gotten away with far less.

Comments about Honl Photo 1/8" Speed Grid for Speed System:

I use two of these on Nikon SB-800s to create a nice rounded spotlight look on subjects. The light shape is a bit larger than it would be from a snoot, but the edges and quality of light are softer.

EXCELLENT

Comments about Honl Photo 1/8" Speed Grid for Speed System:

that's huge! it fits properly on a SB-900. You could have some issue with other flashes even if you use the official strap from Honl.

Tougher-than-it-looks, easy to use, works as advertised. I'm going to pick up the 1/4 grid as well. Highly recommended!

To be honest, I didn't think too much of this at first. As soon as I tried it when I got home I was amazed. It gave me the nice "spotlight" effect I was looking for. It was a great investment for the price.
