Who is it for? If you enjoy using your flashgun, either on or off camera, then this Strobies portrait kit is a great way to extend your creativity.
Key features: With the kit you get six individual light modifiers – including barndoors, honeycomb, snoot (with two different honeycomb grids), beauty dish, softbox and globe diffuser.
Each modifier is portable enough for use both in the studio and out on location, but probably too big to carry around in your camera bag – other than the softbox which can be folded flat into its dedicated carrycase. The whole kit is made from robust plastic and metal, making them all strong enough to withstand general knocks and scrapes. When boxed, the whole set still manages to feel lightweight enough to carry in the box without feeling too much of a burden.
Ease of use: Each modifier is attached using the included flex mount, a rubberised grip that securely slips onto the front of the flashgun, creating a housing for the various modifiers. Interfit also offers a range of different sized flex mounts to fit most of the popular makes and models of flashgun – just visit the company website to find out more details.
Price: For the £90 price tag, you get a great amount of gear that covers a broad range of lighting effects, making it a flash addict’s delight.
Summary: If you like the idea of experimenting with flash photography and lighting effects while using a portable flashgun, the Interfit Strobies portrait kit is the perfect package for you.
With all of the modifiers included producing a fantastic quality of light – and being made from top-notch materials – it certainly feels like high-end kit and it’s hard to find fault with it.
