I just saw this the other day and was wondering if anyone on here uses this bounce card and do they like it?
It is called a "Flipit" by DEMB. Looks like it would work fairly well.

I have one of the older models where the white card attaches to the bracket with velcro. I have a 4 1/4" by 4" card and a 6 1/2" by 7" card. It works well.

I made one of white card stock and taped it on the flash. works great. Light from front and above.

Looked at the site and the illustrations. Why do the illustrations show the card attached to the short side of the flash? Is there some advantage to it?

The one problem with all of these products is that the flash is still on-axis. Not flattering really.

I guess it's ok if there is absolutely nothing else and no way to get flash stuck in any other direction but for the most part, these things seem (to me) like lures are to fisherman...they are there to catch fisherman, not fish.

There must be about fifty of these doodads and they all do about the same thing... You can take a letter-size sheet of 110-lb. index card stock and cut/fold/tape it into a scoop that does a better job... Strap it on with Velcro or just a rubber band. Dry mount or spray mount it to a sheet of black construction paper if you want it black on the back like your flash.
