from what i recall they stuff the Gary Fong with paper towels or other material to diffuse and soften the light output which lightens the deep shadows.
the rail system is also a DIY design. it is the rail from the old Canon FD auto bellows with the bellows removed and a custom bracket quick release attachment. the most recent iteration has newly modified flash bracketing, tripod mounting ring and is self contained. all of the imaging system is independent of the focusing rail and tripod. this enables one to detach from the tripod and rail (when needed) and rapidly move to the hand held mode bringing the dual flashes, battery pack, etc. into play in pursuit of dynamic targets. the rail only comes into play when the lens is set to 1:1 or greater for mechanical focusing.
