The UltraBounce distributes the light over approximately 180° so that it can bounce off walls and ceilings to evenly illuminate a scene. The opaque sensor screen keeps the light from affecting the automatic sensor on most flash units. Accessories such as our UltraBounce are not shadow softening devices themselves since they are not materially larger than the flash itself. These accessories are actually light distribution devices. By spreading the light over 180° it can be bounced back into the frame by nearby walls and ceilings. The device is particularly useful when using large softboxes and umbrellas to spread the light over a wider area.
