    The inflation tube was a SOLID piece of plastic with no way to inflate the unit.

    It's just an inflatable bag that can't be infalted. The inflation tube is solid. It's a $6 throw-away.

    The product is garbage. If you have an external flash you should just pay the 20 bucks or so for a real flash diffuser. This thing doesn't work well and is too cheaply constructed to even laugh about with friends. In the trash it went as soon as I got it. Sto-fen, Gary Fong and others make better value products. Meritline is a great value company though and I will shop here again.

    The diffuser is not bad for what it is. It is easy to install and use and has decent results. It does not say it online, but the diffuser is inflatable.

    easily comes off and doesn't really have a secure way to attach onto a flash. Don't waste your money on this!

    Of the two I purchased, one had a small leak and would not stay fully inflated. Other than that they are great!

    diffuser does what it is suppose to do, maybe to well, pictures maybe to dark, but it does its job.

    "...do not touch your mouth directly." Too late for me to see it on the web. It should have a big warning label near the inlet. That aside, the product is ridiculously toy-like. Worst product I have got from Meritline.

    I had no problem inflating it. You just need a long nozzle to push open the inner cap. But like NK said, it's not secure at all. And, it doesn't diffuse the light! The light goes right through the thin layer of plastic in the front. Besides a little color tint, you can't really distinguish the flash pictures with and without this thing. What a waste.

    Air leak quickly. Has to inflate every time to use.

    Have bought a few items from this site and most are good value (XSi remote, e.g.). This item is not so. The filer is just a plain plastic sheet(unless I receive a defect) and poorly made, and it is just too big for EX430 II. I also tried out the "Flash Diffuser Universal for All Brand Canon Nikon Pentax Item Number 169-275-001", which turns out to be OK. It is small and easy to carry. The front "filter" panel is reasonablly effective - The picture looks as if I bound the light to the ceiling.

    Great idea...but when inflated, the device slowly leaks (over 1-2 days) to yield a mushy, crinkly, balloon-like form. Worth less than $1.

    It redirects the light at a 90° angle is the best !

    I think it does what it's supposed to do... It's simple, and cheap... Can't ask for much more.

    Pinch the fill tube to open it for inflating. This is a trick that has been around for many years. It makes it easier to fill without the air escaping. It does diffuse a bit but is more beneficial with close walls and low ceilings for a bounce effect.

    I used it this weekend to photograph butterflies and with the flash at 1/16th power, this worked very well.

    Not a bad little diffuser. It is inflatable, not hard plastic, so it looks a little cheesy, but tough to beat for the price.
