Impact Diffuser Sock Overview

This 22" Diffuser Sock from Impact is a 22" nylon fabric light softener ringed with strong elastic for a snug fit around standard-sized light head reflectors. In addition, it is also ideal for use with 20 and 20.5" diffusers. This convenient diffuser softens light output by creating a larger light surface across the face of the reflector, bathing your subject in a diffuse light that's perfect for portrait or beauty photography and video. It installs in seconds, and is a handy way to quickly diffuse a light source, when setting up a softbox or using a handheld diffuser is impractical.

Diffuser Socks are stackable, offering the capability to increase the diffusion effect by adding additional socks over the first. Each layer of diffusion reduces light output by 1-stop. The nylon fabric is heat resistant and won't yellow or burn from the heat of your flash, studio strobe modeling light, or a cool light source, like LED or fluorescent lights.

Note:
Intended for use on flash heads, LED sources, or fluorescent sources. Do not use on continuous hot light sources like halogen, tungsten, or HMI lamps.
  • Fits over 22" reflectors
  • Diffuses and softens light output by 1 stop
  • Stackable for increased diffusion
  • Heat resistant - won't yellow or burn

    Well Made

    We purchased two of these diffusers. Not only did they fit perfectly on our Godox beauty dishes, but the product is well made.

    It will work

    Would rather an attachable diffuser lens as opposed to a sock... But it will work...

    Which size fits a Profoto OCF Magnum Reflector?
    Asked by: Jesus
    The Impact 22" Diffuser Sock will not fit the Profoto OCF Magnum Reflector. The reflector has an 8.23" diameter. There is not a diffuser that is small enough.

    Will this fit a 20.5" beauty dish from Profoto?
    Asked by: Autumn
    Yes, it will. Not quite as snugly as Profoto's overpriced diffusor, but it fits fine.

    does this fit a profoto magnum ?
    Asked by: Dom
    A Profoto Magnum Reflector is a bit larger than 13 , so this sock would have a very tight fit.
