bouncing light off a blue ceiling!"
Reportages Photos .fr -- "Test : PressLite Vertex, modeler la lumiere d'un flash facilement"
PHOTO-TIPS-ONLINE.com -- "PRESSite VerteX demonstrated the widest horizontal frame coverage among the 16 diffusers tested."
Brighthub.com -- "The device is small, weighs only a few ounces and takes up very little room in a camera bag yet delivers a lot of performance for its price and size. It's one of my favorite tools for indoor photography when I'm using a shoe mount strobe. It even comes in handy when I using it on a remote controlled flash. If I was shooting indoors and could only carry one light modifier, this is one I'd use."
Adorama's popular 100 in 100 series -- "For wedding photographers and photojournalists who need to work fast, the VerteX offers unprecedented light output control while either improving battery life or giving your flash a little more illumination power. While the Vertex can be used with on-camera flash, it offers even more versatility when used with multiple-flash set-ups."
Mathew's Photography Singapore -- "You might lose flash power using Lightsphere, but not on the VerteX."
Weekly Photography Tips -- "In a matter of seconds, with just two fingers you can twist, pull, or rotate the panels to completely change your lighting configuration."
PHOTO-TIPS-ONLINE.com -- "Several manufacturers attempted to create flash diffusers (like, for instance, LumiQuest Pro Max 80-20 Bounce or Gary Fong WhaleTail) that are able to simulate multi-source lighting but they do not provide as much control as PRESSlite VerteX does now."
Camera Dojo -- "Before getting into wedding photography I did mostly product photography so using multiple lights was second nature, getting into wedding photography felt very limiting as it really isn't practical on most shoots to lug around multiple light sources, radio remotes, light stands, etc and the current light modifiers on the market work very well in specific situations, but there hasn't been a product that could really give you the flexibility of multiple light sources from a single strobe head until the VerteX."
Chester Bullock Photography -- "Unlike a Gary Fong or similar diffuser, the amount of light you are directing can be controlled as well."
Cameratown.com -- "...if you want to be able to simulate a multi-light setup with just one flash, the Presslite VerteX™ is the only way to go."
Photoserg.blogspot.com -- "A quick story on sturdiness..."
Technology Bytes -- "You start to see the possibilities."
Pro Photo Home -- "It is a flash modification device that gives you ultimate control."
Kels Viewfinder, flickr (February 20, 2010) -- "I've been using a VerteX modifier on my speedlight which has proven to be extremely useful. The club had about 15 - 20 foot ceilings, painted black obviously. The modifier allowed me to better manipulate the light (intensity/direction) a lot better than I would have been able to do with just a Stofen and or bouncing. Good little modifier to have!"
Tony Northend (January 29, 2010) -- "5 out of 5 stars - Secrets Revealed - All other photograhic DVD's that I have bought are commercials for the photographer - Brett shares real information - Thanks"
Michael T. (Sep-01-2009) -- "I used the Vertex to trigger two 580EXII's camera left and right with a 550EX on the camera hot shoe, outdoors. It was kinda funny; I had somehow lost my Cactus trigger in between locations and needed to trigger the two flashes somehow. With a little finagling, the Vertex saved me."
Rod P. (Aug-18-2009) -- "Just to let you know your VERTEX works just as well "DOWN UNDER".
I have been using light modifiers on speed lights for 40 years, nothing comes close to the Vertex for giving great direction and specularity to portable light. Using two, one on camera and the other off to one side creates even better lighting. I'll be showing it my seminars and workshops across Australia."
Nadine O. (Aug-4-2009) -- "The reason I bought your product in the first place was because I was trying to find something to use to redirect the light from a flash that doesn't swivel. I have a 380EX (old) flash that is still good for my current purpose save for the fact that the head doesn't swivel, so any bounce cards or whatever I put on it in the camera vertical position--I can't bounce to the ceiling, let alone to the right. Your product works for bouncing to the ceiling with the flash head pointing straight to the left (in camera vertical position), and it works somewhat to push the bounce spot to the right ceiling. I can't get the bounce spot onto the right wall, but that is asking a lot, and I'm happy with the ceiling re-direct."
Nadine O. (Jul-24-2009) -- "My primary concern was being able to turn the flash head to bounce off walls in the portrait position with flash on camera. Without your mirrors, bouncing to a wall on my right was impossible or not very successful (loss of power)."
Verneitta (Jul-22-2009) -- "I use this whenever I shoot indoors. It works great. It is really easy to assemble, there is a video that you can go to if you get a litle stuck. The video really helped me a lot."
1st place winning of a photo contest! (July 2009) -- "I used my on-camera 580 flash for this coupled with a little gizmo called a Presslite that helps to both focus and diffuse the light to a very fine degree."
Mark (May-31-2009) -- "Gives you complete control over your light output, regardless of the setting. I was shooting execs in their offices. Some had windows behind them, to the left, right, in front, etc. I was able to supplement the natural light in every office with quick and easy adjustments. It works perfect!"
James B. Y. (Feb-3-2009) -- "This is the most ingenious flash modifier I have come across. Most waste a lot of light by diffusing the bounce portion of the light. This unit, which uses mirror surfaces as well as white diffusion cards, makes a lot more sense. It is very well made."
Alex O. (Jan-19-2009) -- "I would to write you on behalf of purchasing the VerteX and how great of a product it is. I do photography for many different indoor and outdoor events and no use your products which works wonders with lighting. In the past I would have to touch up photographs on the computer after taking them but now they turn
out perfectly when using your product. Also I used to have difficulty with lighting on vertical photographs but the Vertex was also able to solve this issue for me."

-Kerry (Dec-17-2008) -- "...the next day went out to shoot a 14 hour wedding. As suggested, I started off with one panel to see what I could get. To make a really long story short, the Vertex never came off the flash. I used it all day long and am very happy with the results. I have another shoot coming up and am going to really work with multiple angles. So far I am very impressed."
iamnoelr (Dec-13-2008) -- "Just tried it! Many uses of vertex.Produces great images in right situations A+!"
boycottbrotherprinters (Nov-25-2008) -- "This uniquely designed speedlight flash reflector / diffuser is fascinating to use with its constant fairly predictable control of photo lighting direction and results. Presslite shipped item surprisingly quickly."

April 2008, South San Francisco, CA -- The solution to a variety of flash-related problems that have plagued photographers for years has arrived, in the form of an innovative new device, known as the VerteX™.
Silicon Valley inventor Kenneth Law's patent-pending design combines a wide range of light modification features into one single, easy-to-use lightweight device.
With the VerteX™, photographers are able to (1) easily control the diffusion of light while on the move, using only one hand, (2) manipulate the flow and quality of light in ways not possible with other existing devices and (3) achieve longer battery life, faster recycle times, higher f-stop and lower ISO options.
The VerteX™ gives photographers the ability to quickly command specific light qualities from a modern swivel-head flash unit.
The VerteX™ can project diffused and specular light at virtually any angle, in multiple directions simultaneously from a single flash unit. This introduces on-the-go lighting solutions never before possible.
Small in size, lightweight and self-contained, the VerteX™ can convert between a soft white diffuser and a mirror reflector for full-power bouncing with a quick twist of its dual-surface panels. These panels are instantly adjustable, detachable and interchangeable with one hand.
The VerteX™ makes it possible for wedding and portrait photographers to "steer" light away from obstacles, toward their target. The convenient thumb-shift control enables event photographers to quickly dial in the bounce-to-fill ratio. The VerteX™ is intended to put new lighting opportunities at the fingertips of professional and enthusiast photographers alike.
"Weddings and other fast-paced events call for a wide variety of easy-to-implement lighting options," says Kenneth Law, PRESSlite™'s founder and lead designer. "Because lighting requirements change continuously, a tool that makes it possible to transform light modification properties on-the-fly is therefore of great value. Move-and-Modify becomes a necessity in this line of work and is indeed the fundamental principle behind the PRESSlite VerteX™ design."
An interactive demo and further details are available online at www.presslite.com.
Headquartered in South San Francisco, California, PRESSlite™ is the manufacturer of the PRESSlite VerteX™. The VerteX™ was conceived and engineered in Silicon Valley, USA.
PRWEB -- "January 2010, South San Francisco, CA - One hundred percent of all proceeds: That's what PRESSlite will donate to Partners in Health, toward earthquake relief for the people of Haiti, for all purchases of the world's most innovative flash modifier, the VerteX™, between now and Valentine's Day."
