Mine even included a grid that can be mounted at the end, and three colour filters. for this purpose it works flawlessly, although it might be a big long for a snoot (there are other, shorter versions).
It can also be unrolled (as on the picture) to act as a reflector and you can bend it at odd angles to direct the light.
Its most unexpected feature is that it comes with a translucent sheet that covers the white surface (when unrolled). The flash head goes between the white and the translucent. It then acts as a small softbox, which is surprisingly useful in the field. Here's an example of its use as a softbox in wireless-PTTL.

The item is a bit heavy, mainly because of the flexible rods usedto hold its shape. It attaches with a strong velcro and elastic band, around the head of the flash.
for the cheap price I paid, it's a very useful item that I often carry with me. | |
