Excellence!

This is an excellent light modifier, a real gem. It was a real pain to assemble, however once you get over that hurdle its completely collapsible. I'd buy again if i need to. Hope its durable, the material is really thin.

awesome light shaping tool

this is such a great and flexible light shaping tool. I strongly recommend it for portrait / fashion photographers as a must have in their tool kit. I love it and it's worth the money. I'm going to get the big version as well. Elinchrom is the company to go. Love it!!

Super soft wrapping light.

Soft light that can be directed perfectly. I am surprised by the marked difference in my portraits.

Very versatile

This softbox is my default for location shoots with a Ranger RX. It is very versatile because it can be used with 1 inside baffle or both baffles depending on the situation. It folds down to a nice size. It does require a couple minutes to set it up and break it down each time. I wish it folded like an umbrella like the 72" This is a great size for portraits. The fabric is thin but very durable. I am tough on equipment and it has lasted me over a year with no issues. Definitely use a sandbag if you are outside.
