Vello FD-1430 Reviews

Nice camera companion

If you're tired of your on-camera flash making everyone look like a deer in headlights, the Vello FD-1430 Ultra Wide Softbox is definitely worth a look. This thing is pretty big (8 x 16 inches), so it throws out a nice, wide spread of light that's much softer than a direct flash. It's great for portraits, events, or food pics - basically anything where you want to avoid harsh shadows. If you're shooting in a wide 16x9 format, this softbox is your friend. It even has an extra diffuser inside that you can pop in if you want a little extra diff. Putting it on your flash is super easy with this elastic strap, and it stays put. It also folds down flat and comes with a little pouch, so you can easily toss it in your bag. If you want a softer image without a ton of hassle the Vello FD-1430 is a solid choice.
