What were your camera settings? Obviously, a diffuser is going to reduce light output. The best way to use a diffuser, especially indoors, is to set the flash to TTL, open the aperture as wide as possible (depending on the depth-of-filed that you need), and drag the shutter. Out doors, when you just need fill-flash, you can shoot in Program mode, for situations. Also, remember that if you are using the pop-up as your main light, distance to subject is limited.

it reduced the flash strength DRAMATICALLY

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this.

Thanks for the demo. I ordered mine today for about 20 bucks! Hope I get better pics with the built-in flash now

You can make one for yourself by using a frosted 35mm film can (get several for free at your local processor ie:Walmart) Take the top off - cut the can to fit your flash and put the cap back on. Free and works great!

It depends of the value of your photos. I make a living as a photographer. $50 for a piece of plastic seems crazy, BUT if that $50 investment makes you $100s or $1,000s in increased sales, then not having it is CRAZY.Anyway, ou probably didn't understand that the video is about the Puffer ($20). I can't imagine using a 4-liter jug on a pop-up flash. :-)

can YOU justify spending over $50 to $100 on a single piece of tupperware? I sure as hell can't. I made a couple out of discarded 4-litre milk jugs and got the exact same effect.

Tell me where can i find the real thing?

Of course, you understand that you the $3 version is a knock-off. Support the knock-offs and you destroy the incentive for inventors to develop and bring to market new products.
