Harbor Digital Design Quick Spot

The new artistic attachment for your speedlight

Harbor Digital Design Quick Spot Review

The Harbor Digital Design Ultimate Lightbox system was the first flash diffuser system I ever used.

I still find it incredibly useful today with the main lightbox for grand scale flash and the smaller diffuser for more intense, direct light.

Now Harbor Digital have added a new accessory to their line up, the Quick Spot Honeycomb spot diffuser that comes with two sizes of grid holes 1/4" and 1/8"...

It is a simple attachment and very easy to use just like the rest of their systems and they also come with a range of colour gel filters for special effects. I have had a play with these and can see how they could come in very handy for various things:

Classic or artistic spotlight portraits
Classic or artistic spotlight portraits
Pinpoint fill in flash outdoors
To create special backdrop effects using them off camera

Use off camera in a number of other ways including rear spotlight fill for portraits

Without the need for studio lights and barn doors

Harbor Digital Design Quick Spot Prices:

Prices start at just $34.95 with your choice of honeycomb size. If you already have the adapter from a previous purchase, you can save yourself $12 and just buy the honeycomb spot grid. The gel pack is extra and includes red, blue, yellow, green, 1/2 CT orange and cosmetic pink.

I don't know where these are being sold any more. B & H Photo Video might...
