Demb Flip-It and Flash Diffuser

April 1, 2011

The first Demb product brought to the market was the “Flip-It!” flash reflector. It is a variable flash reflector that uses a heavy-duty hinge, allowing you to set the reflector at any angle. By doing this, you can then chose the best lighting and light output for any room or situation. Need softer light? Raise the panel. Want more lighting directed at your subject? Simply lower it.

The reflector base attaches to the flash using a rubber backed Velcro strap that stays in place when wrapped around the top part of the flash. The reflector we used in was the 4 x 4-inch “Big Flip-It!” The other available reflectors are the 2 ½ x 3-inch “Flip-It! Junior” and the 5 ¾ x 4 ¾-inch “Jumbo Flip-It!” All reflectors are interchangeable; so one base can be used with any reflector. Additionally, the big and jumbo sizes work well with flash units that have a parabolic reflector such as the Lumedyne, Quantum QFlash, or Sunpak 120J.
