I bought this little kit to try to get better portraits in dimly lit wedding situations and found it super easy to assemble and super awesome. I was surprised at how pleased I was with the results. The construction of some of the pieces seems a little flimsy but it's held up pretty well so farI I'm definitely considering purchasing more Photoflex products based on my experience with this kit.

Even the quality is not as good as pro but it sure is the best choice base upon the cost comparing with other brands. As long as you use it carefully the life span should be as long as you want.

I use it mostly for location photography with my wireless external flash. It is compact, easy to carry, light, wireless (or you have to use cord), and just use regular batteries.

The paper like cover diffuser (also without internal diffuser) takes one star out of my rating. The big hole on the back without any covering takes another star out of my rating.

After having this product recommended to me by another amateur photographer, I was pretty disappointed that the mounting hardware was machined very imprecisely such that when assembled, the mounted flash unit and softbox has a severe tilt to one side. I don't think it affects the lighting too much, but is nonetheless disappointing. Also the included assembly instructions are very poorly written and not extensive.

During setup the stand fell over on a carpeted area and the swivel broke completely in half. I emailed the company and they are taking care of it (although the problem hasn't been solved yet), but I was shocked that it would break so easily. I had used it maybe 3 times prior. Other than that, it's a great product....if you don't drop it.

A very good use for outdoor portrait photography. Portable for the size made. Setting it up is just easy, no cables needed but of course a wireless transmitter is needed. It would have been perfect if Photoflex had design this with back cover to cover the back open space at the edge of the flash. To solve my cons, I'd hang a black cloth instead, at the back of the softbox when photo shooting.

This kit is a tremendous value. It is a great modifier for head shots, babies, and small objects. It is easy to take down and setup. It takes up very little space. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again. I wish Photoflex offered a larger size kit for small strobes.

For the price you can't ask for more, I love it, the only thing that I have changed is one of the shoe mounts for the packet wizard is too close from the other one and is hard to see and change the settings from the flash ( I fliped it down ) problem solved!. Thank you Photoflex

Terrific piece of equipment for field work using a portable strobe flash. Includes outdoor portraits, modeling and group shots at weddings!

The only downside is the mounting clamp for the softbox is a little on the flimsy side.
It hasn't broken though. The rest of the kit is very well made.

Exactly what I expected...Light weight, portable, and very functional. Set up in minutes and performed well. The only complaint is that the softbox is small and the light is not as diffused and soft as I would like. However, this is the nature of what this product is - a portable solution for flashes. Do not expect to get the same results as a strobe with a large softbox - but still delivers great photos. Enjoy.
