Pretty good

Pretty sweet. Fits my Yongnuo Speedlite great. I like the little rubbery bit on the inside where it sinches around the flash. Feels really secure. And it's not obnoxiously big.

Good value

Have only used it once and it seemed to do what it is intended to do. Easily attaches to a speedlite but doesn't want to stand straight out like the product photos show. Good value though for the price.

I Love The Light

I have found this very helpful for close ups and macro photography. It provides just the right amount of difuse lighting.

Using this soft box for all my macro photos.

Westport soft box works great for macro photography. It folds up flat to take up little space in my bag.

Really spreads the flash.... like a lot....

works great. had to turn down my iso to the low on canon 600 flash for this because it flooded with light. Would work great in a park at night.

Very Usable

This is the first flash modifier I have ever bought and I already love it. I have used it for Macro and used it to take a picture of my grand daughter. It is very well made and very easy to just slip in my camera bag. I am using it with my Pentax AF540GZii flash unit. Big shoutout to Seth Miranda at Adorama for all the expertise he puts out on social media. Everyone needs to come and follow him @LastXWitness on all platforms. I learned about using light modifiers through him and the other pros at Adorama!

I would definitely buy again

Excellent build quality, stays on the speedlight flash with no issues falling off or sagging. Really helps soften and even out lighting.

Westcott Soft Box for the extraordinarily patient

I'd hoped for a modifier that attached to my Nikon SP600 speed light as quickly and performed as efficiently as the product photo seemed to promise. In actuality I found it extremely frustrating to wrap the velcro strap while trying to keep the sides from collapsing in limiting the interior silverized panels from functioning as intended reflectors. The box is well constructed and priced reasonably, but I'd have willingly paid twice as much if the unit had some sort of collapsible wire frame to hold its interior open.

Works well

It looks slightly ridiculous when the flash is on camera (because of how large it is). Seems to work pretty well at softening the light.

Not as good as the 6x9 Pocket Box

This Pocket Softbox is better than the plastic domes that come with the speed light (if your flash gives you a plastic cover), I found this pocket box is not as good as the 6x9 pocket box. I actually wanted the 6x9 pocket box, but none were available so I settled for this one. I like that this pocket box is less cumbersome than the 6x9 pocket box, but I'm willing to put up with the bulkiness of the 6x9 because it has better light.

Great mini softbox on the go

I purchased this for event assignments and spontaneous portraits when I don't have my studio lights and full size modifiers. It certainly doesn't match a full size softbox on a monolight, but due to the science of light, nothing in this size can. For something I can carry in my backpack, it does an amazing job. Construction is excellent, and folds neatly flat, so it takes up virtually zero space in my backpack

Good deal on a functional sodtbox.

Thisnsoftbox does what it's supposed to do for a low price. A. Em do strap secures a custom fit for your flash. It's a little tricky to open all the way, but once open it stays.

Great mobile modifier for simple portraits and weddings/events

Got two of these to use for wedding receptions. They work great as a general soft fill for the dance floor, or for couple's portraits. Easy to pop on and off an they fold flat to throw back in your bag when you don't need them. Great, inexpensive buy!

Great Soft box

By SMITH T.

Great softbox for speed light. If you shoot in manual mode and do not use TTL you can not beat this pocket box for the price. There are rubberized tabs that keep the box from slipping and a piece of elastic with Velcro that wraps around to secure the tabs.

Does the job well

By Michele C.

Lightweight and simple. Great design, for the price is a no brainer.

Whether you're using a shoe-type or small flash head, on or off camera, the PocketBox Mini is a versatile addition to your kit.

One of the key benefits of this mini flash softbox is its ability to eliminate harsh shadows often produced by direct flash. This is particularly useful when the flash is your primary light source. The diffused light also minimizes red-eye and softens contrast, resulting in more professional-looking photos with less need for post-production editing.

Whether you're shooting outdoors, near window light, or in a studio, the PocketBox Mini is an excellent solution for balancing sunlight and filling in unwanted shadows. Its reflective silver interior and removable 1-stop inner-diffusion baffle work together to maximize and soften your flash, delivering beautifully lit, evenly exposed portraits every time.
