AllisonFinch 7 Posted February 24, 2008 I lost one of my diffusers in Raja Ampat. Even though the boat crew fabricated one out of an oil bottle, it is difficult to take on and off. If you have a diffuser lying around, I need it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ornate_wrasse 0 Posted February 24, 2008 If you have a diffuser lying around, I need it!! Here's a suggestion for a "diffuser substitute" just in case you don't get the diffuser you want or, heaven forbid, you should lose it again on a dive trip. You may even have it lying around the house. Take a handkerchief and a rubber band. Place the handkerchief on the strobe and secure it with a rubber band. Simple, and the best thing is that is doesn't cost much money. Before a trip last year, I went to a fabric store and bought some fabric that was similar in texture to a handkerchief since I didn't have a handkerchief around the house. I took the fabric and a few rubber bands with me to use in case I needed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davehicks 123 Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) I lost one of my diffusers in Raja Ampat. Even though the boat crew fabricated one out of an oil bottle, it is difficult to take on and off. If you have a diffuser lying around, I need it!! Why do you NEED a diffuser? I never use them as I find they cut the power of the strobe, and make getting clean shots in cloudy low vis situations a lot more difficult. I am curious to know how many people find they get better results with a diffuser on a full powered strobe like the DS-125? (Maybe I can see how it might help with coverage on a lower angle strobe like the DS-50, but that has even less power to spare.)
