One of the biggest complains about the Gary Fong Lightsphere is that it spreads the light out in way too many directions and also therefore demands more power from your flash and ultimately kills the batteries faster. Upon trying a hack, I one day found a method that allowed me to make the light more directional but still very efficient.
Admittedly though, mine stays in a beauty dish most of the time. But if you still use your religiously, try this little hack.
The music in this video is from a band called Mancie, and you should really check them out.
