Very portable and practical. Easily put together in the field. Can be held in one hand if no stand is available. Truly a product photographers have been waiting for.

Good size diffuser but would definitely use with a stand and not on top of the SLR. Easy to setup and use right out of the box. Comes with a nice carry bag too.

Fastest & easiest softbox I've ever seen. Looks nice too! For me it stays setup for quick travel deployment, as many users seem to do. Bracket has flexible size adjustments & seems quite strong. Umbrella spokes are easily replaceable if needed (catches wind!). Umbrella is big enough to soften the flash, small enough to carry & break down with a *Pop*. Only real downside is the noisy Pop in quiet places.

The HexaPop sets up quickly and seems to be of very good quality. Used this soft box for company portraits and to do couples photos at our Christmas party. It worked well but now I wish I had gotten the 24" to achieve a little extra coverage.

My first review addressed the durability of the Hexapop 20" soft box, and I wasn't too pleased when it broke before a shoot really even got started. I was extremely pleased, and surprised, when I got an email from Tobias @ Adorama saying he was sorry for my bad luck with the product and that he was going to send me a fiberglass rib to replace the one that broke. This has never happened to me before. I was impressed to say the least. Since then I have had the chance to use the soft box on several assignments and have been very happy with it, especially for environmental portraits in small areas such as offices where there is little space for larger systems. As reported by another photographer, the soft box works best at around 4-feet, or so. It produces good quality light, and I like to use a second light as a kicker to give the subject a little more pop. It also works well for small product photography on location. Everything stows into a small bag for easy transport, which was just what I was looking for when I bought the unit.

When I was working as a professional photojournalist back in the mid 90s, I hated using on-camera flash. It produced harsh, flat light that I used only when I had no other choice to get the picture. But when it comes to photographing women, I've had to learn a new rule: flat light is flattering light. The simplest way for me to get that quality of light while I'm traveling is to use the Hexapop. I prefer the 20" model, because it's super compact, and works great when used within 4' of model. The quality of the catch light is superb. The Hexapop is right at home on a light stand, too. I like to use it with a Manfrotto 420 combo boom stand, because it's light enough to hang out on the end of the arm. Used this way, I find it easy to stand just under the light, and then direct the subject to move slightly to one side or the other to get the lighting perfect.
