Here's a DIY i was working on the last weekend - a softbox for my Sunpak PZ-5000AF strobe. Diffusion area dimensions are 20 x 16 cm and it could be fit on any similarly sized flash. Thickness when folded flat is about 8mm.
Materials used:
- light, strong cardboard
- ducktape - black
- aluminium foil tape (a truly awesome piece of material for photography DIY-ers)
- Rosco white diffusion filter
- black rubber hair band
Aluminium foil tape
Tips:
- all the hinged parts are made with ducktape to protect them from wear'n'tear.
- make a small trame around the diffusion area, but make sure to cover the corners with ducktape to protect from wear'n'tear.
- inside of the softbox is largely covered with foil tape to allow light to spread
And some images of the final product:
