A beauty dish requires the flash tube to extend into the dish so that when it fires it sends light onto the parabolic arc of the dish sideways 360 degrees. If the flash tube is subducted or firing through a tunnel or snoot essentially and bouncing off the central beam blocker then back on the dish you will not get complete coverage and you will loose efficiency. <br /><br />If you photograph the dish when emitting light with the flashpoint head attached and the AB attached you will notice a very different illumination of the dish. Same goes for trying to use a speedlight in a beauty dish. The physics don't match up. The speedlight only kicks light forward not laterally (like firing through a snoot. You need lateral light to utlilize the beauty dish fully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
