How can you enhance your photography with the Westcott 6 x 7" PocketBox Mini Flash Softbox? This compact yet powerful tool is designed to soften the output of your flash, providing a wide beam spread that's perfect for portrait photography. 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.The PocketBox Mini is not just functional, but also efficient. It features a silver interior designed to maximize your flash's output, and a removable diffusion panel for even light distribution. This compact Speedlite softbox can be mounted on virtually any off-camera or on-camera flash, making it a flexible tool for all your photography needs.Despite its compact size, the PocketBox Mini is robust and easy to use. It sets up in seconds, and when you're done shooting, it collapses instantly for easy storage in your bag, purse, or pocket. The soft interior grip panels and flexible elastic straps ensure secure attachment to your speedlite, even during long photo shoots.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.

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.

Pretty good

This is a nice addition to my flash, it's very portable and so easy to use!

Very easy to carry anywhere!

Nice addition to my flash

Light way and simple to carry and attach to any flash.  Great soft light.  It also easy to fold back un the envelope.

Great acquisition

Love these little mini softboxes. I have them all of my speedlights.

Great little gadget

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.

Good value

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

I Love The Light

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

Using this soft box for all my macro photos.

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.

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

i don’t know i have yet to receive one of them i ordered it 2 1/2 weeks ago

like i said

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!

Very Usable

Using this softbox when doing close up work gives perfect photos

Perfect For Close-up Work

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

I would definitely buy again

Does what it’s supposed to. Easy to put on and take off. 
Great to have handy in my camera bag when I can’t bring lights with me.

Pretty good!

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.

Westcott Soft Box for the extraordinarily patient

Great portable softbox I keep it in my bag, it takes no room.

A great addition to my camera bag.

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.

Works well

This unit is well made for the price , Gives off a nice soft light and easy to manage.

Nice Unit

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.

Not as good as the 6x9 Pocket Box

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

Great mini softbox on the go

It does what I need it to do and it's well made.

very nice !

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.

Good deal on a functional sodtbox.

Like it!

Great diffused light for times when you can't carry stands or light boxes.

Great product

I love this item and bought 2.  It works like the full size soft box but is portable and affordable.  Love this item!!

Awesome & Affordable!!

Small, compact, easy to use when a small soft box is required. Has it's own built-in closures rather than the velcro bands.

very good product

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 mobile modifier for simple portraits and weddings/events

Small and portable!  I do a lot of flowers, and the portability of this small box works out great!  Well made and comes in a zippered pouch, in which you can also store your sync cord! We done!!

Works Great For Me!!!!

Even lighting, nice box.
Difficult to keep square on the flash.

Nice product!

Poor design as it cuts far too much light to be effective... I returned it.
