Advice needed: Omibounce, Lightsphere or flip it pro?

[nkhoo]

Hi guys, i'm getting a 580ex soon and so i'm looking for a diffuser/reflector to go with it. I've heard good reviews of the lightsphere but i've also seen the bad side of it, bulky n expensive.
I'm considering getting the flip it pro as it seems to be the most useful.

I will mainly use my flash in concert halls, outdoor (evening, night), function rooms with high cellings.

Please advice. Thanks a million!

At least i save on the Flip-It Jumbo which i was eyeing on.

Thanks for the advice guys. Just wondering, how effective is the abetterbouncecard compared to the rest of the device? I mean, if it works so well, won't those ppl who sell the other devices go out of job?

No, because a lot of people don't realize how easy it is to make your own...

Art friend, about $1.00 for a A4 size sheet.

each device has pros and cons, you must understand which device suit what situations best.

beside, if you charge $$$$$ for your services, would you want to let your clients see you are using homemade LS from a milk container?

No, they won't go out of jobs. There will always be people with $$ willing to spend $$ thinking their photography skills will improve because they bought a more expensive device.

When i'm charging $$$$$, and my clients are hiring me, they would have already known what I can produce, that I'm produce photographs worth $$$$$. I'll turn up with whatever equipment that allows me to take good pictures. Clients WILL leave a $$$$$ photographer alone. The simple fact is the clients cannot produce $$$$$ photographs and hired someone to do it. :bsmilie:

On a side note, if apparences matter, if I'm paid $$$$$, i wouldn't turn up with a LS at all. I'd have to act like a $$$$$ photographer, not a hobbyist. :bsmilie:
but that's just me.
