Review Summary
2019-11-10T14:49:25
I rarely badmouth a product like this because I figure that it might just not be my cup of tea and that it might be fine for someone else. This thing however is just hot garbage. I was so desperate for a decent modifier for the AEOS that I gave it a try even though I had my doubts going int but it's worse than I thought. First, looking back at all the YouTube videos pimping this product I now realize that none of them show the setup. They skip right over that and get to shooting... and now I know why. Setup is a huge pain. Maybe it would be fine for the Neo II but for the AEOS there's no room to manuver. The AEOS ends up being shoved way up to the top of the OCTO leaving you wihte a very uneven distributionj of light that is very noticeable immediately. I tried reversing the light and using it as a bounce which does help even out the spread of light but weakens an already weak output. I toyed with the idea of keeping it figuring it's better than nothing but naw... I'd rather just shoot bare or just hold a plain diffuse in front of the AEOS rather than use this thing.
