Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

If you have to travel light, this works great with a small, powerful speedlight, and softens the light as good as "standard" softboxes of the same size.

Purchased due to recommendation in Zac Ariass' OneLight DVD. I have used this softbox both in-home for personal photographs and in the field (literally! A field!) for portraits. The construction is sturdy and top-notch. The light produced is soft and creamy.

 
Great portability

Just what I was looking for, something light and easy to carry, that I could use with a speedlight when I'm traveling.

 
Great diffused light and time saver!

Pros:
Convenient Interface, Lightweight, Reliable, Softens Light
Best Uses:
Fill Flash, Lighting, Photography
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I've had an Apollo for nearly twenty years, and recently noticed it had begun to lose some of the reflective material. I had to buy another -- they're so easy to use! No speedring to fuss with and my SB-26 is more than enough for quick, tight headshots. I bring three 26's, collapsable stands, with one Apollo and I've got a great, quick portrait set up.

 
Beautiful light...simple setup....
By ToddVerified Purchaser from Atlanta, Ga on 2/21/2008
Pros:
Convenient Interface, Lightweight, Reliable, Softens Light, Strong Construction
Cons:
Pointing down is limited
Best Uses:
Lighting, Photography, Very Portable
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Product produces beautiful light and is extremely portable as it goes up just like an umbrella. Being that it's used for a hotshoe flash, the light stand is in the middle of the bottom of the box which prohibits being able to point it down at an extreme angle.
