1NE is that speedring lock thing design ... the flashtube is too vunerable/prone  to accidental breakage IMHO when changing modifiers.  Other designs I see and use, the flashtube is recessed, or protected better.

This has concerned me as well.

This problem could be solved with a short straight-cylindrical reflector.

Happy owner of 2 AB800's and a Vagabond II.

Entire top port row and leftmost three in second row were shot with AB800's.

How do you find the 800's shooting outside? Do you think they are enough?

So far so good with dark to moderate backgrounds such as my avatar.

Have yet to try brighter backgrounds or sun overpowering.
