Thrilling in studio and location, Peter! About four or five years ago I was introduced to the CALIFORNIA SUNBOUNCE system for outdoor shooting and, until my recent trip to Cozumel, I thought the system was for outdoor use only, I thought my trip was ruined when on the first shooting day we were faced with storm clouds, thunder and rain throughout, though we still managed to get one beautiful sunset in thanks to the SUN-BOUNCE MINI. I basically set the SUN-BOUNCE MINI about 15 feet from the model, with the zebra side toward the model,and pointed my flash head straight in the middle of the reflector. The flash instantly became my sun, the SUN-BOUNCE MINI became my main light source (modifier) and the zebra fabric gave me that much needed warm tone that I've learned to appreciate. I really appreciate the quality of light the CALIFORNIA SUNBOUNCE system brings you, along with its durability and usability,and my assistants are tickled pink about the system's compactness, practically weightless and durable features, not to mention you can put one together and tear it down in a couple of minutes, practically blindfolded.
