The Rogue Flashbenders for our speedlight camera flashes arrived the other day.  The Rogue Flashbender by itself is great.  There is so much flexibility (literally) in shaping it (especially when using it as bounce or snoot).  The malleable rods that are built into the Flashbender give you infinite adjustment and allow you to shape the light however you wish.  With the addition of a diffusion panel it transforms the Flashbender into a compact softbox.  The whole unit folds flat like most other styles do.  I like that it is not plastic that will eventually crack.  Plastic vs. fabric; there are +’s and -‘s to each I suppose. I prefer folding and storing fabric vs. plastic.  Plastic over time may become brittle.  I am sure that these will hold up just fine under the light use we will put them through. The build quality is plenty sturdy and I have no doubt these will last for a long while.

These do a very nice job of taming the harshness and diffusing the light while very adequately illuminating your subject(s).  I am very pleased with the result of our newest gear acquisition.

Audrey and Tindra did an excellent job modeling while I tested the two different sizes out. Cyndie was kind enough to take part as well.
