Why are there 3 different FlashBender models?
The Large Positionable Reflector offers a larger and softer light than either of the two smaller FlashBenders. Due to its size, and the use of 3 positionable rods in its design, the Large Reflector is more versatile than the other FlashBender models. But its size also adds to its weight (6 oz), which requires that it be used with the flash positioned vertically (straight up). The Small Positionable Reflector is a versatile reflector ideal for use on-camera. Weighing just 3.5 ounces, the Small Reflector can easily be rolled into a snoot (tube) to focus the light from your flash, or opened up to reflect and soften the light from your flash. The Bounce Card/Flag is the smallest of the three FlashBenders and includes a separate black fabric cover. The Bounce Card can be used either as a small reflector, or as a flag to block unwanted light from a subject or foreground.
