The LumiQuest Quik Bounce is designed for use with or without a ceiling and can be used to soften the light in both horizontal and vertical formats. It features doors that open to allow for 80 percent ceiling bounce with 20 percent reflector bounce; the doors can be closed completely to get 100 percent unit surface bounce when a ceiling is too high or would adversely affect color cast. The LumiQuest Quik Bounce attaches to the flash unit with the aid of a touch fastener or an optional Cinch Strap.
