I am wondering if any members have used this product and what size did you buy. I have looked at all reviews and studied this product just like everything I get ready to buy. I am breaking out into wedding photography this year and need some good modifiers. This one comes very highly reccomended. I know one member uses it but there are 3 different ones. Should I buy the biggest one to help cover group shots? Any suggestios will help. My budget has dwindled down to just about nothing after buying the canon 6d two new lenses flashes.To date this year $5000.00 spent and only into April.

Yeah, UHH will do that to you. You learn about thing you didn't even know existed that you simply must have.

I do second shooter at wedding with Jeff. I think he has the second one. Lite-scope II He seems very happy with it. I haven't played with it yet, but I think I will end up with one in my bag too.:)
Here is the link to them.:)

I've never used the professional model, but I used to build those out of fun foam.
Just get the self-adhesive type--one black and one white. Stick them together and cut.

I just purchased the DEMB in a 4X5. Purchased this at B&H.

Looking forward to using this in a few weeks. Shooting an indoor black tie affair and most will be sitting at big top tables.

I made a couple of these and they work pretty well. I think I spent about $6 on the two of them.

I use all sizes of this for product commercial projects and love it. I see there is a post where one guy makes his own and I think I will try doing that for what they cost. The large one is what I use the most of. I highly recommend this product or make similar to this product.

Agreed, I go one step further. Get some of that green florist wire that they use to keep stems straight. (one roll will last you forever) bend it in several zigzags up and down and put it between the fun foam. You can now easily shape the home made flash benders and they hold their shape.

The self adhesive ones are a great idea. Most glue is worthless (in my attempts) I got hot glue to work , but it was not very pretty. I ended up using 3M #77 spray adhesive, which worked very well, but is a mess to everything in the general vicinity. Use a LOT more newspaper than you think you need. Next time, I'll just use the self adhesive fun foam as well.
