Nissin Di866 question

[milspec78]

Anyone use one of these for bouncing off walls and ceilings. Quite like the idea of the fill in flash, but wonder how effective/adjustable this is on the 866.

I currently have a basic jessops 360 as my main hotshoe flash. I find myself more and more using this bounced from a ceiling using the little catchlight card to fill some of the shadows. Problem is i like to shoot portrait and then the catchlight card is ineffective! (facing the wrong way).

The 866 is a good flash, far superior to the jessops gun you have with it's fully auto mode and ettl modes.

It also has inbuilt master capability, so if your jessops has a slave mode you'll have a two light set up.

It'll still not be able to change the positioning of the bounce card though. But there's nothing to stop you using a cable and holding the flash where you want it
