Bounce Flash for Sony A6000/A6500 ILCE-6000/ILCE-6500

This little piece slides into the flash socket on the Sony A6000 or A6500 cameras to hold the flash so it points up as shown in the photo. This allows the flash to bounce off the ceiling instead of hitting the subject directly. A bounced flash produces softer light. For printing no support is needed, and normal fill levels are fine. The hole allows you to hook it to your camera or lens cap strap so it is always there when you need it. It may work on other Sony cameras providing the flash design and socket position are similar. To use it, pop up the flash and hold it back with your finger, slide the piece into the flash socket and then rotate until it holds back the flash on its own.

Note, this device will significantly limit the effective range of the flash (you'll get less light out of the flash), especially if the ceiling is high or dark. For me, it works best photographing people relatively closely with normal white 8 foot ceilings. Your typical house party type situation where you need just a little more light but don't want to overcome all the ambient light. If you want to try it out the effect before deciding to print it, simply hold the flash up with your finger and take some photos. Make sure your finger isn't in front of the flash though.
