Tremendous value, but angles are limited by the stand slit, and one speedlight may struggle
Given the price I paid I simply cannot give this big softbox any less than 5 stars. I've used it on 6 paid shoots so far and it's been a godsend, but it definitely isn't perfect.
The good:
- Great output quality if you set it up right.
- Well made, light and easy carry
- Quick to set up / pack up
The less good:
- The stand's column passes through a zipped slit in the brolly. This unfortunately limits the downward tilt of the softbox as the edge of the slit jams up against the column itself, deforming the lower edge of the brolly.
- A solo speedlite might struggle unless you can get the brolly very close to your subject. Play it safe and get a double bracket to get two speedlites in there.
- I often have to partly remove the front screen to make adjustments to stand height/angle. This doesn't take long, but it is a minor hassle.Read full review...

Nice soft light for a budget price
This is a budget item but better made than I expected and should last a while if treated gently. It's pretty big although well balanced on a stand. I tried 3 speedlites in it but 2 seems to be enough. The light on the front diffuser is concentrated in the centre, but in practical use, the light is nice and soft. I tried it as a front on light with the photograper sitting low in front of it and then close to the model's right side at 90 degrees with a large reflector opposite on the model's left. Used close for soft light, beware where the large catchlight falls! I plan to order the smaller 80 cms version for use in smaller spaces.Read full review...

Fantastic value for money
These softboxes are a steal. I bought them because, due to the unusual design, they don’t take up as much space as a big octabox would normally do. The design also means you get away with just one layer of diffusion. For greater output you can take off the diff and it works more like an umbrella. I’m using them with Godox video lights and the results are stunning.Read full review...

Gives a really nice soft light and is easy to use.
This softbox produces a very nice light for portraits and is easy to use and set up. The light quality is best if used with a flash bracket that holds the speedlight in the middle of the brolly instead of off to one side, such as a Bowens S-mount adapter.Read full review...

Superb multi-function lighting accessory.
Super large reflector, which concentrates the light where you want it.
Gives a nice even spread of light.
Can even be used as a plain backdrop for small objects or 'high key' head and shoulders portraits.
Easy to carry and assemble.
Altogether an extremely versatile prop, well worth the money.Read full review...

Godox umbrella
It’s an umbrella for putting a flash through, you would think for the price it would be cheap and flimsy, it’s not, the stand is excellent quality, the umbrella takes a moment to get used to but it’s easy enough when you do. There are no instructions but if you can work a speedlite you can work it out Read full review...

Fantastic modifiers when used correctly
I’ve had a few of these modifiers in small and larger size. Mounted on a plain light stand with a single speed light gives a slightly uneven spread of light as the speedlight is quite far off centre, the design also limits the amount you can tilt it down without having to move the light closer to the umbrella. For best results use with two lights on a boom arm as you can get the light right up against the diffuser panel and tilt.Read full review...

Fairly okay product
Okay so I have had this a few weeks now. But only got it once to use it in a studio environment. I must say it gets the job done but don't expect wonders in the construction of the softbox. A few things to note.
The softbox frame is plastic not too sure how long it will last.
The stand is also cheap careful not to break it from abuse.
All in all very good as it gets the job done the light is nice and soft and shadows on the subject come out nicely. Do not expect miracles or tough build quality, you get what you paid for. But for me it gets the job done and that's what matters. Read full review...

Great value
Super soft box easy to set up and produces a super light either with the diffuser or without for a bit more specular light, Acts like a cheaper version of a deep umbrella with a diffuser for 20% off the price what’s not to likeRead full review...
