You Can Feel The Glow

Pros:

Lightweight, Reliable, Softens Light, Strong Construction

Cons:

None

Best Uses:

As large beauty dish, Fill Flash, Lighting, Night Photography, Photography

Describe Yourself:

Pro Photographer

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is my go-to for beauty and incredible, soft headshots. The light wraps around my subjects like heaven so soft, you can feel the light in the images resulting.

Once you develop a technique with your foot to spin the unit, assembly is easy. Front-end velcro straps make this the most flexible unit for moving from inside to outdoors.

Magic!

This lightbox is wonderful and creates nice, soft lighting. It is a little difficult to push the poles into place though and takes some muscle but should be easier with use.

I love it, great softbox!

Great color, well made, looks like it's going to last a long time.
One suggestion though....once you get it together leave it up for a month or so to relax them poles a bit, It's a major pain to put together until it gets broken in a bit.

Great for portraiture!

This is a great softbox! The octogon shape really helps spreading the light evenly! The only thing I do not like was finding an adapter for this was incredibly hard, but overall a great product!
