Finding that the built in bounce card on my Godox V860 is getting stuck!! I'm thinking I need to think about an attachment before I face a situation where I can't get it out or end up breaking my flash trying!! Does anybody have recommendations on a good bounce card attachment? I'm not keen on the Fong flash diffuser + it kept falling off. Is the Magmod worth the money? Anything that stays on reliably even when the camera is carried upside down on a holster?

Lumiquest make good flash attachments, I particularly like their QuikBounce. In principle it's similar to the Fong, as are pretty much all bounce/fill accessories, but it doesn't waste light out of the back, offers a degree of control by zooming the flash head, it's light/easy to use horizontal or vertical, and folds down flat. They do lots of others though, and their tutorial videos are refreshingly free of BS

My other favourite is the Black Foamie Thing, pioneered by Neil van Niekerk. It cost pennies and produces wonderfully natural results if you can manoeuvre your subject to a nearby wall

But if you're just worried about your built-in bounce card getting stuck, then use a white business card and attach it with a rubber band ;)

Lumiquest QuikBounce looks good - particularly for my application. Looks like they are £48 on Amazon - will probably purchase one - thanks for the advice.
