Comments about Westcott Westcott Speedlight Kit with Mini and Micro Apollo Softboxes, L-Bracket, Shoe Mount & Stand:

This kit is unusable with the Canon 580 ex II. I have my flash mounted on a Flash Zebra eTTL cord and it would not fit under the L bracket. The umbrella adapter is also low quality and the flash slips out of the mount.

Comments about Westcott Westcott Speedlight Kit with Mini and Micro Apollo Softboxes, L-Bracket, Shoe Mount & Stand:

The stitching on the left side was not finished and the left side was unraveled when I open the softbox.
So the Velcro cover could not be used.

I am not impressed with the quality of the stitching, an ultrasound seam would have stronger.

I contacted Westcott and they send me a return mailer. I am still waiting for the replacement softbox.

I do not think I will be buying any Westcott softboxes in the future.
