They are inexpensive, just a little white plastic cap that goes over the flash. I usually put a Kleenex over the flash with a rubber band. If you are using a pocket camera with an integrated flash, you might stick a piece of frosted Scotch tape over it to tone down the flash. Hope that helps :) PS - you don't have to thank me every time you use your portable studio :lol:
