Thanks for posting the exact dimensions that you used to build your diffuser! I made a much smaller one for a penlight (for lightpainting) and I used a cut out from a plastic milk carton for the diffusing material (your paper towel). I believe I will be trying to build your diffuser but will be trying a larger piece of plastic milk carton as it should prove a little sturdier than a paper towel. Thanks again for your tutorial! :)

Great idea about the milk carton. Let me know how it goes.
Great idea! So far I've been using natural light with macro, but definitely inspired to try a flash/diffuser.

Natural light is great but for insects, I highly recommend a flash and diffuser.

It is :)
I was on edge all the time thinking you were going to knock the camera with your arm and smash it on the floor. I'm alright now the video has finished.
good idea for photographers

Thank you for watching!
Thanks very much for the detailed instructions. BTW, is there a big difference (saying the result) between using this DIY diffuser and the professional one you recently bought?

Yes there is a difference. I feel like the light is better diffused with the AK and more consistent. But you can get great shot with the paper towel diffuser too. Any diffuser is better than no diffuser.
