    Collapsible Speed Mount
    ● £50 O www.garyfong.com
    THE best way to take control of
    your fl ashguns is to use light
    modifi ers that change the
    quality and behaviour of the
    light. The Lightsphere
    Collapsible provides a soft
    omni-directional light that can
    be used as a main or fi ll-light
    primarily for portraits, but will
    work well for other subjects too.
    The light is said to be soft and
    even, thanks to eliminating the
    harshness of bare direct fl ash.
    It also collapses fl at for
    transportation and storage.
