For the price you just can't beat the beautiful light quality from this Photek, the only bad thing is that it is a bit fragile, the rods in the umbrella bend too easily. I would recommend buying more than one. Then again I have several because for the price it's worth having this invention.

This is a wonderful product that can produce the light of a softbox or an umbrella whichever you choose. It's light, very easy to setup and produces great results. The only negative is that the umbrella ribs are very fragile so you really need to be careful in handling and setup. Other than that, no complaints at all.

It took my photography to whole new level. It's the best piece of lighting equipment I've ever bought.

Give your photo sessions the romantic glow you desire with the 60" SOFTLIGHTER II. The classic umbrella-shaped light source delivers light that has been totally reflected before it is diffused, producing soft and even light reminiscent of moonglow. This SOFTLIGHTER II model features a 7mm umbrella shaft, making it suitable for use with older Elinchrom, and Profoto flash heads.
Illuminates 20 sq ft
Perfect for 1 to 2-person full-length shots
4 x 5 ft product shots
Although ideal for portrait photography, the SOFTLIGHTER II also a versatile lighting tool, working well in a variety of photo shoots and as strobe and artificial lighting.
The SOFTLIGHTER II is a convenient lighting option, setting up in minutes with no collars or ribs to set up. It's also light weight, making it easy to transport to your shoots.
White reflective surface, free of bleach and fluorescence, perfectly reflects the color of your light
Ten-panel construction (instead of the usual eight) provides more reflective surface and a more perfect circle of light, ideal for capturing light in your subjects' eyes
Black nylon cover stops stray light and ricochet. Remove cover and reverse its direction to convert the SOFTLIGHTER II into a softbox. The diffused light it produces can be used as a main light or fill.
Note: The 7mm shaft on this SOFTLIGHTER model is not removable.
When mounting shoe mount flash units to the SOFTLIGHTER II, a shoe mount light stand/umbrella adapter is necessary. Shoe mount flash units will have to be set to manual because the entire unit will be inside the SOFTLIGHTER II, unless the flash unit is equipped with a remote sensor.
