Great soft light, haven't had it long but seems durable. Only one gripe. Come on guys the joke is OVER! How do you get it back in the bag?!?! This thing jumped out of the bag like it had life and hasn't gone back since I first opened it. They seriously need some instructions or a video on Adarama.tv. Do us a favor guys!!!

Great softbox at a reasonable price. Folds flat easily, not sure about ever getting them back in the original bag, but not an issue for me. Sets up quick, no rods to connect or install. Just "pop" and ready to go. The speedlight bracket that comes with could be a little sturdier... but definitely not a issue. Works fine and if that's what keeps the price so reasonable... then its Ok with me. A very affordable option if you're looking to add a softbox to your setup. VERY easy to use.

This softbox folds into a tiny little carrier; it is very well designed and easy to set up.

Soft box in not a snug fit to flash ring and falls off. The fix is wraping the flash ring with electrician tape. You get what you pay for and is worth what I paid for it.

the issue I had was the cold shoe, but I swapped it out with a screw and nuts to get my pocket wizard to work well with it. the cold shoe was too small.

The ball head is of poor quality, I think I broke it trying to collapse it, a wire popped through the outside rim the first time I opened it. I ended up just folding it flat and using another reflector bag to store it.[...]

A simple fix for this kit: bigger thumb screws that could be tightened by hand. I have to use pliers. Other than that, it's great little soft box. And it's easy to get back in its little pouch when you realize that that there are two steps: 1. collapse the box so that it lays flat 2. twist it into thirds in the same way you do with round collapsible reflectors/diffusers.

These are great on a light-stand for portrait sessions,(nice even light), but they are outstanding at events when used with my Manfrotto Telescoping Flash Bracket. Very light and easy to attach. They fold down into a very small kit-bag. Very well built. Great product! That's why I bought two!

Perfect unit for off camera flash units. Refolding a bit tricky but easy once you get the hang of it. Small package and lightweight. I find it quite versatile as fill or main location light. For the price, this unit can't be beat!

Very durable. No instructions but I figured out how to get it back in the case myself. But I went to the lastolite website to figure out how to sit the bracket. The seat for the flash is really cheap so I replaced that. Good buy!

The softbox is being used with my Nikon SB-900's & SB-800's as fill light outside the studio. The quality of the softbox is great, even though quite difficult to twist down back into its case. The cold shoe is too small for the SB-900, so I replaced it with a Stroboframe locking accessory shoe. The only problem n ow is the new adjustable shoe doesn't slide to & from the softbox for adjusting. It isn't necessary however, since the SB-900 is large enough to fill the hole. Overall, this softbox is a great value for the money.

Great little unit for a great price. Watch opening it the first time. The material is spring loaded so to speak and jumped out of my hand the first time. Otherwise love it.

I have been looking for a small softbox for my SB-600 and settled on this one. The price is great, decent quality of light (when you take into account there is only 1 layer of diffusion), and the mounting bracket holds the flash fairly well! The only thing that I don't like is that the ball head that the kit came with does not hold the softbox up. It kept falling :( So luckily I had an extra Adorama Universal Swivel Holder and that had the right size screw to replace the flimsy ball head with a more robust swivel head.

So if you are going to buy this nice little product I would highly recommend getting Adorama's Universal Swivel Holder

Light, easy to set-up and use but you need the secret to close it. Take off all the parts, have the large opening of the unit face you. Push two opposite corners together and the unit will fold back to it's triangle shape. Grasp the triangle by the edge with both hands and twist in opposite directions and it will fold like a like disc. Takes a little practice but it does fit back into it's case.

After recieving it, I tried sliding the pocketwizard FLEX TT5 and won't fit the shoe adapter. The hotshoe adapter was very tight and if you push hard to slide your FLEXTT5 it will bend and break the plastic adapter. If you are a pro photographer dont waste your time buying this product specially if you are intending to use the FLEXTT5 POCKETWIZARD. Your better off buying
Lastolite ezybox. I give it a three rating just because if you are just using it straight forward with a basic flash unit you might find it usefull.

Best deal going for a portable, fold-up soft box.
I can't believe it also came with the mounting bracket for shoe mount flah and rotating head that can mount to a light stand for under $40.00 I can think of so many uses for this set up.

Warning! Bag holding soft box must be opened at arms length or may cause injury! I just got this today and when I unzipped the bag holding the soft box it literally sprang out and almost knocked my glasses off! The soft box is rolled up in a bag like a reflector. But you will never get it in that bag again! Besides that it is great. Took a few shots with it and works great. I like the case that comes with it to store everything in. Turns my Canon Speedlite into a studio strobe.

Over all a great product for a great price. I highly recommend it.
