LumiQuest Snoot

The only reason this product hasn't gotten five stars from me is that it could have been slightly better built... the flaps on the back where it attaches to the Velcro are too rigid... But overall a worthwhile purchase... Would buy again...

The big disadvantage is that you can't adjust the size of the beam. It comes out in a fairly narrow beam, and there's not a lot you can do to change that. However, keep in mind that none of the other production snoots offer this feature (that I'm aware of). Because they are so easy to make yourself, you should consider making a snoot first - at least to determine whether or not your lighting situation actually requires one. I bought this over 3 years ago, and have only used a handful of times. (See "customer images" for some samples). Consider a Honl grid, instead, if you want to narrow the beam of your light.

This is one of those products you don't use all the time but when you need it, it works great!!! I did a project recently doing product photography and the snoot worked terrific!!! I was able to isolate the product in a light spot with darkness all around. The light was focused exactly where I wanted it.I would recommend the product to anyone. Like I say, you may not use it everyday but when you need it, it's great. It just velcros onto your flash. I didn't glue velcro to my flash units because of all the horror stories of glue residue. I used the velcro band (you have to buy that seperately) that wraps around the flash head and this snoot attaches to it perfectly.Works great for me!!!

Works great but you have to remember about VERY specific type of light making here. I recommend at least few test shots and very precise targeting, which is not easy.

This is a very cool accessory for your flash, works great...not something that you would use all the time, although it does gives a very dramatic effect.
