DIY Flash Bounce Card

Flash Bounce Card (inspired by Demb)

Upon searching online for whats best for flash bouncing, i found many tips & tricks and one of them is the Demb Bounce Card.

But the price is so expensive (USD convert to MYR), well i think why not i just build it? Its just a plain white bounce card attach to a hinge and elastic band..hehe :)

I buy all this online, 

1. A4 White PVC sheet (cut to 4.5x5inch).
2. Small black hinge.
3. Black elastic band.
4. Acrylic sheet.
5. Glue (i use shoe glue LoL)

Above is the finish "base", i added a small square thin plastic for support the bounce card and i bend the acrylic like Demb.

The finish product attach to Godox TT350 flash head. I just use a double side tape to stick the bounce card to the "base". I find it easier to replace if somehow the card get damage 😅

Here i apply it to Godox TT685 flash head, more suitable for this one because of its standard size than a small mini TT350.

As per Demb instructions, flip it out for closeup portraits or flip it in for group photo or set it vertically stright up for all other usage.

UPDATE !

Upon "close" look at the original thing, i found the bounce card is detachable by velcro. LoL i remember i have a velcro 😁 so the result is below

Now i can replace the card to whatever size i like...yeah!


UPDATE #2 : the black layered back.

If You'all notice on few photo above, You can clearly see a shadow of the back "square" mount. And yes again 🤣 I notice the original had a black layer behind the white reflector. So, i have a sheet of black thin foam laying around.

I glue it on the back, okay I think I'll finish making this thing LoL. Okay happy shooting to me, will update later on other post after a "real world" test.

Masih cari kamera fuji low shutter? Fujifilm tak pernah ada shutter actuation app untuk check jumlah shutter. Gambar pertama, List hijau merah dibawah dari web apolyte menunjukkan senarai kamera yg tak boleh dan boleh check shutter count melalui website mereka. Upload je file jpeg, semudah itu lalu app dia tunjuk shutter yg ada dalam exif gambar. Gambar kedua, kamera yg telah digunakan shoot wedding dan sebagainya. Namun setelah dibiarkan tanpa bateri sehingga kamera auto reset telah memadamkan shutter track dalam memori kamera. Tadaaa, fresh shutter count 📷 mint usage, lady owner.

Fujifilm x From Canon full frame EOS 5D mark ii to Fujifilm APS-C. is it a downgrade? Yes if you look it that way, but for me it's an upgrade. The main reason I'm switching to Fuji is about the weight, carrying a big DSLR with a big lenses is a pain for me. Yes it does looks "Pro" to use such a big camera on an event, but that's it. So I made a choice to switch to Fuji. Why not Sony? Before the switching I made a lot of research about Sony vs Fuji. Why Fuji? Damn I like the classic look and shape of it. Plus Fuji has it's own film simulation presets pre-installed into the camera, a few adjustment here and there i can get a "good looking" jpeg straight out of the camera. Plus, Fuji only has APS-C and Medium Format. Even pro's use their Fuji APS-C on a professional works. So the feeling of "apsc for amature" is not bugging me head...haha I'm a jpeg shooter, even in my Canon days I shoot only jpeg. I...
