This softbox is a [*] to put together! It is best to put this thing together once and leave it that way if possible! Once assembled it works fairly well, however either I put it together wrong it is has a slightly quirky design! The issue I'm having is that the back of the softbox that attaches to the speed ring does not have quite enough material to completely close! So I have to stretch the material over the rods to try to close it up so there is no light leakage, in some cases I have used Gaffers tape.

I bought this modifier based on the Photoflex name and the other related success I have had with their other products. However this one I'm less than thrilled about! All in all the I like the softbox however the assembly is a royal pain...you almost need 2 people to assemble it. When you do get it assembled it seems that the back portion (the portion that attaches to the speed ring) seems to be a tad short of being securely closed! It almost seems like you have to stretch the fabric over the spines to attach it securely, however the fabric doesn't give at all, so you are left with these openings in the back of the unit that don't look like they are supposed to be there at all.

As with every Photoflex product, this one is solid, well made, and easy to use. I have acquired two of these to use as hairlights and/or narrow (narrower than a standard softbox) sidelights for carefully controlling the light thrown. Light, easy to control the lighting so I can create effects that are more challenging to produce with regular and larger softboxes. Strongly recommend as a basic part of a studio setup, especially in conjunction with something like a 3' x 4" softbox and/or umbrellas as key lights.

Not a bad product once you set it up correctly. It seemed difficult at first with the rods in the ring but once you get past the first setup its just fine

I have it mounted over a large shooting table, canted slightly back to wash bkgd shadows. I'm using the Photoflex QL lights. No complaints.

Quite Nice, Well made , yet I do think at that price point there still could have been a little more quality to the construction........definitely better than any " low budget" brands.....Narrow focus of light with quite rapid fall-off at the edges, works well when thats what you need, keeps the light off the background pretty well[...] After some research, I would say Overall that the price to value ratio is pretty good for these strip lights, probably the sweet spot in the market.

Worth every cent,
Let the HalfDome2 Small White Softbox illuminate your photography and videography projects with its versatile and efficient design. This 9x35x18" (22.9x88.9x45.7cm) softbox is a multifunctional lighting tool, ideal for both traditional and digital photography, as well as film and video applications.
The HalfDome2 boasts a unique, elongated shape and a wider rear profile, making it compatible with Photoflex's OctoConnector line of softbox adapters and Connector FV adapters. This design allows for a focused highlight that adds depth and drama to any subject, making it an excellent choice for fill, hair, or main light.
The interior of the HalfDome2 is available in either soft white or silver. The soft white interior is perfect for a broad range of photography uses, while the silver is specifically designed for film and video applications.
This softbox is designed with a low profile, making it easy to shoot over and use as a foreground light. Its unique shape also allows for use as a hair light for multiple subjects, and as a fill light without over-spill onto the background.
The HalfDome2 features an internal baffle that eliminates hotspots, creating even, natural lighting. The baffle and front diffusion face can be easily removed, allowing for a quick transition from soft diffusion to sharp contrast without adjusting the setup.
Constructed with proprietary Duracloth fabric, the HalfDome2 ensures no loss of light or energy. Its thick exterior guarantees durability, while the company's Quick-Release Corners (QRC) make setup and teardown effortless.
The HalfDome2 can be fitted to most major strobe-lighting fixtures and continuous lighting fixtures such as the Photoflex Starlite 3200, thanks to the Photoflex OctoConnector and Connector FV. These connectors are made of heavy-duty, heat-resistant cast aluminum, offering superior quality and durability.
For precise control of light spread, the HalfDome2 is designed with a recessed mouth that can accommodate Photoflex's 40-degree Softbox Grid. This grid directs the light source and prevents light spill onto backdrops, floors, or ceilings. Each point of the nylon-webbed fabric grid is individually hand-sewn, ensuring it retains its shape indefinitely.
Lightweight, portable, and complete with a carry bag for easy transport and storage, the HalfDome2 Small White Softbox is a reliable and essential tool for any photography or videography setup.
