It's big. It's white. It's mysterious. It has a tail.

I can see why, it kinda looks like a toilet.

dude, thats freakin funny.
I wonder why he hasn't posted any images up while using it?
do yall think that the images will look the same as the current stuff?
In any case, I wonder how crowded his booth is gonna be this year....
Has anyone noticed that Gary is following the Canon guide to product marketing? Create a unique product, regularity update product and leave them wanting more.
Gary is the man.

I can't tell from the photos... Is it clear or is it solid white? Pushing the light up out of the top and or back depending on the configuration of the flaps?

My first thought was "toilet" too. Man, I get enough strange looks with the lightsphere. Isn't part of this job supposed to be "cool photographer"? Whatever happened to the "cool" part?
Why are all his products so big and bulky??? Is he trying to break my flash head or what?
Matt's reply sums up my experience with the Fong Dong and the kicker. I thought I was going to strip the 580ex's swivel head clean off. I think Gary needs to market the "Mini-me" Fong to carry around your silly Dong so it doesn't keep falling off or smacking your guests in the head as you walk around.
You have got to be kidding me.
We're Fong free since, well, ummm forever. Don't waste your money making Mr Fong rich.

Don't think he made his money off the Lightspheres.
He made most of his money selling off Pictage and real estate.

Maybe not all of it, but a nice chunk of change nonetheless.
