The Pocket Bouncer redirects light at a 90° angle from the flash to soften the quality of the light by enlarging the light roughly 6-8 times over the flash head itself. While no exposure compensation is necessary with automatic flashes, operating distances are somewhat reduced.
Itr is used to soften flash light quality with minimal light loss; to be used with slaves or alone where low ceilings are not available, or where more direct but soft fill light is desired.
