No, the lightsphere doesn't squash. I have a bag just for flash equipment, and it fits nicely in there. But I will probably keep it mounted on the flash most of the time, because I can still shoot bare flash or ceiling bounce just by removing the cover and aiming the flash as normal. (Actually, in ceiling bounce position, you still get some fill from the globe, even if the cover is removed.) I've duct taped it to the flash so it can't be knocked off. Unless I decide that I like one of my other diffusers better, I'll leave it on the flash most of the time, taking it off only to mount my Kalt Xtender.
