Kickstarter: Kobra Flash Modifier System, $38 Basic, $58 Including Gels!

Featured Video Play Icon

We featured the Kobra Flash Modifier kickstarter campaign last year. It was popular, but ended up just shy of the funding target, and the project didn’t proceed (with all money refunded). We’re pleased to see it back for a 2nd try, and this time they’ve already smashed through their funding goal!

If you use on-camera flash, the Kobra Flash Modifier is one of the slickest diffusers we’ve seen yet. It’s a two piece modifier — a clear, flexible silicone diffuser, which snaps secure into the “Kobra Band”, a black silicone band that hugs your flash head tightly. It looks elegant (and not at all dorky — ahem, Gary Fong), won’t pop-off your flash, and is compatible with many different flashes.

They’ve improved the offer significantly — the previous campaign offered the basic diffuser for $58. In this new campaign (via Kickstarter) that lasts until June 9th, the basic diffuser is $38 + shipping and the band + diffuser + 6 gels is only $58 + shipping (compare with a previous price of $80). Get in early, this project is the real deal this time!

    $38 Kobra, $11 US shipping? I’ll probably get it cheaper on Amazon when/if it takes off, with a free return option.

      Shipping price seems high for what the weight is. I hate it when people lower a price to attract customers, only to raise shipping to make up some of the loss.

    Still wish there was more diffusion, maybe higher/wider, like a Kobra X-Large? There is some improvement in the sample pictures, but not by much.
