FlashBender v3 Large Reflector

The FlashBender v3 Large Reflector

• Shape light — FlashBenders bend, curve, and conform so you stay in creative control
• Reflector, gobo, or snoot in seconds — one tool that shifts between the roles you need most
• Sculpt every light in your scene — shape your key, accent, hair, and background light with precision
• Built to go where you go — lightweight, tough, and compact enough to tuck into any bag; they pack flat
  

Built to bend.  Built to last.

An internal mesh gives the v3 more structure than ever, holding its shape precisely where you put it for faster, more intuitive light shaping. Three positionable rods let you sculpt it into virtually any position, while the patented design keeps everything locked in place. Hand-sewn from custom fabrics with heavy-duty rods and durable fasteners, FlashBenders are made to handle years of demanding use without missing a beat.

Attaches in seconds and stays put.

The redesigned v3 strap features textured neoprene that grips your flash head firmly, while a quick-release buckle makes mounting and removing it effortless. No adapters, no extra hardware — FlashBenders attach directly to your flash and get out of your way so you can focus on the shot.

One size fits your whole kit.

The v3 strap adjusts from 6.75" to 17" in circumference, fitting everything from compact mirrorless flashes to large strobes — round-head flashes included. Whatever you're shooting with, FlashBender has you covered.

One modifier.  Endless control.

On-camera Lock the reflector upright and shape the top to bounce light forward, filling shadows and adding catchlights. Near a white ceiling? Curve it to blend ceiling bounce with direct fill for a natural, flattering result. Off-camera The FlashBender's shapeable design makes it just as powerful off-camera. A few quick adjustments and it becomes a completely different tool:

• Reflector / Gobo — Direct light exactly where you want it, and block it where you don't. Isolate your subject from the background, or light the background without spilling onto your subject.
• Snoot — Roll it into a tube to focus a tight circle of light — perfect for selectively lighting a face or pinpointing a hair or accent light.

When to Use a FlashBender Large Reflector

When attached to your on-camera flash the FlashBender v3 Large Reflector will soften the light from your flash whether you're shooting inside under a white ceiling, or outside in the open. 

The FlashBender v3 Large Reflector can also be used to modify the light from your off-camera flashes in multi-light set ups.  Attach the Large Reflector to your flash and manipulate its shape to direct the light on your main, background, accent, or hair light. 

FlashBenders Pack Flat and Don't Take Up Usable Space for Other Gear

FlashBenders are the ultimate "there when you need it" light modifier because they are light weight and simply fold in half to pack flat in your bag without taking up any significant space.  Photographers looking to pack and travel light will be hard pressed to find anything as useful or adaptable as the FlashBender v3 light modifiers.

FlashBenders Direct Light Where You Need It

The FlashBender's shapeable reflector directs light up and forward towards your subject.  This allows you to take advantage of a good bounce surface when you have it (white ceiling), or to avoid it by curving the top of the reflector forward when you do not (yellow or orange colored ceiling, or no ceiling).

FlashBenders Are More Efficient Than Diffusers

The FlashBender design also conserves energy because it directs the light from your flash towards your subject instead of scattering it everywhere.  This has the benefit of allowing you to shoot on lower flash power settings with faster recycle times, and results in fewer overheating problems and longer battery life.

Simple flash diffusers on the other hand just do one thing, scatter light everywhere.  This can work when you're shooting under an 8' white ceiling, but not so much when you're shooting outside, or under an off-colored ceiling (yellow, orange, etc).

Unfortunately, because diffusers waste power by scattering light everywhere your flash is constantly firing at higher power settings than necessary to light your subject.  This means your flash gets hotter, takes longer to recycle, and your batteries drain faster than if you used a more effective and efficient directional flash modifier.

On-Camera Flash Photography

Attach the FlashBender reflector to your flash (locked in upright position) and shape the top of the reflector to bounce light forward to fill shadows and create catch lights. If you are shooting under a good bounce surface (white ceiling), then shape the reflector to allow some light to bounce off the ceiling.

Off-Camera Flash Photography

Because the FlashBender v3 is shapeable you can also use it off-camera to modify your main, background, or hair light when shooting with multiple speedlights.  You can use a single FlashBender to modify light in different ways for different purposes.  The FlashBender reflector provides directional control over light from off-camera flashes. Attach the FlashBender reflector to your flash and shape its top and sides to direct light to where you want it, or to block it from where you do not.

Reflector/Gobo:  Shape the FlashBender to control lens flare, light your subject without spilling light onto your background, or light your background without spilling light onto your subject.

Snoot:  Shape the FlashBender into a snoot (tube) to create a circle of light. The snoot can be used to selectively light a face, or to focus a hair or accent light.

FlashBender v3 is Designed to Fit a Wide Variety of Strobe Shapes and Sizes

The attachment strap incorporated into every FlashBender v3 modifier can be adjusted to fit flashes as small as 6.75” in circumference and strobes as large as 17”. 

The FlashBender v3’s adaptable design will also fit flashes of different shapes, including the round-head Profoto A1X, Westcott FJ80, Godox V1 and some even larger, power-pack based strobes. Additionally, because the mount is incorporated in to the FlashBender v3, there are no bulky, expensive mounts to purchase separately, or that need to remain attached to flashes when not in use.
