Update: Aurora Firefly Beauty Box review
Aurora Lite Bank is getting ready to launch a new hot shoe flash accessory. They call it Firefly Beauty Box. It has an octagonal design and should be quick and easy to install (similar to an umbrella).
Below is the content from the Firefly brochure:
The frame for the beauty box, adaptor and tilting bracket are made from durable aluminum and steel therefore this make it robust enough for outdoor use.
The unique design of the Firefly Beauty Box and it�s construction is patent pending.
At only 48cm width and 19cm in depth it is lightweight and portable making it attractive for location use.
Using the same silver lining as in Aurora�s quality softboxes the embossed surface reflects the light back and forth internally so that it becomes soft and not too harsh when it reaches the front. The flat front diffuser then softens the light even more.
With one touch, it opens and closes like an umbrella making it ready to use and go within seconds.
The 15cm silver deflector is sewn inside to the center front diffuser and eliminates any hot spots. A front diffuser with a gold deflector is an optional extra for a warmer effect.
Complete with carry bag its� total weight is only 1kg
With rotatable tilt bracket, Firefly Beauty Box moves forward and backwards. The height of the bracket slider is also adjustable.
This is designed to be compatible with most shoe mounted speedlights.
