Thank you for choosing
the Vello FD-900 Universal
Inflatable Softbox. This
light-modifying accessory
is designed to diuse the
light fired from on-camera
hot-shoe flashes, creating
an enhanced and softened
quality to the speedlight’s
output. The inflatable softbox
is highly portable and able to
fold and fit into a very small
form. Additionally, the setup
and breakdown takes less
than a minute to complete,
creating a reliable addition for
on-the-go photographers.
