Hi all,

I wanna make a Bounce card for my SB-600.
Just wanna find out from ur experiences, which material is the best for making one.

Thanks in advance!
 

foam sheets?
art friend has them
i think popular sells them too now
 

I'm using foam sheets bought from Spotlight
 

I use zebra cards.
Attatch them with on with velcro.
Semi glossy and very durable.
 

or go GL lor 23 area and buy white plastic (thick) sheets and cut the sizes to your delights...costs about $20 per A3 sheet or so
 

Semi-glossy Photo-paper.

I used tat also. Cheap & good. Also, if u want d lighting to be less harsh. Use d non-glossy side. Get a good velcro at Daiso for $2 & u r done with it :)

My own thread about my DIY Acrylic Reflector for 580EXII =)

Only con? It's slightly heavy and, since I'm small, mounted on my Gripped 400D, it's the exact height of my shoulders to hips. People might look at you as if you're crazy if you bring it out in the open to shoot.

where can i get this zebra card?

and thanks everyone for ur contribution!!! :)

You can buy the zebra card at 100 for $30 if i'm not wrong.
I don't know where to get them as
my company uses it and they have some spares that i take.
So far it has been very durable and i've only used one for about a year.
 

foam sheets ~$1 each A4 size, cut to fit

flexible and able to bend back over the flash for easy storage and fast deployment
 

i got my foam sheet at 70cents. A4 size. Can cut into two bounce card.
 

thanks everyone for ur suggestions!

from the look at it, i think foam sheet is the most popular and cheapest way to make a bounce card. i'll keep this in mind.

thanks once again!
