Pretty sweet. Fits my Yongnuo Speedlite great. I like the little rubbery bit on the inside where it sinches around the flash. Feels really secure. And it's not obnoxiously big.

Love these little mini softboxes. I have them all of my speedlights.

Have only used it once and it seemed to do what it is intended to do. Easily attaches to a speedlite but doesn't want to stand straight out like the product photos show. Good value though for the price.

I have found this very helpful for close ups and macro photography. It provides just the right amount of difuse lighting.

Westport soft box works great for macro photography. It folds up flat to take up little space in my bag.

works great. had to turn down my iso to the low on canon 600 flash for this because it flooded with light. Would work great in a park at night.

This is the first flash modifier I have ever bought and I already love it. I have used it for Macro and used it to take a picture of my grand daughter. It is very well made and very easy to just slip in my camera bag. I am using it with my Pentax AF540GZii flash unit. Big shoutout to Seth Miranda at Adorama for all the expertise he puts out on social media. Everyone needs to come and follow him @LastXWitness on all platforms. I learned about using light modifiers through him and the other pros at Adorama!

Excellent build quality, stays on the speedlight flash with no issues falling off or sagging. Really helps soften and even out lighting.

Does what it’s supposed to. Easy to put on and take off. Great to have handy in my camera bag when I can’t bring lights with me.

I'd hoped for a modifier that attached to my Nikon SP600 speed light as quickly and performed as efficiently as the product photo seemed to promise. In actuality I found it extremely frustrating to wrap the velcro strap while trying to keep the sides from collapsing in limiting the interior silverized panels from functioning as intended reflectors. The box is well constructed and priced reasonably, but I'd have willingly paid twice as much if the unit had some sort of collapsible wire frame to hold its interior open.

Great portable softbox I keep it in my bag, it takes no room.

It looks slightly ridiculous when the flash is on camera (because of how large it is). Seems to work pretty well at softening the light.

This Pocket Softbox is better than the plastic domes that come with the speed light (if your flash gives you a plastic cover), I found this pocket box is not as good as the 6x9 pocket box. I actually wanted the 6x9 pocket box, but none were available so I settled for this one. I like that this pocket box is less cumbersome than the 6x9 pocket box, but I'm willing to put up with the bulkiness of the 6x9 because it has better light.

I purchased this for event assignments and spontaneous portraits when I don't have my studio lights and full size modifiers. It certainly doesn't match a full size softbox on a monolight, but due to the science of light, nothing in this size can. For something I can carry in my backpack, it does an amazing job. Construction is excellent, and folds neatly flat, so it takes up virtually zero space in my backpack

Thisnsoftbox does what it's supposed to do for a low price. A. Em do strap secures a custom fit for your flash. It's a little tricky to open all the way, but once open it stays.

I love this item and bought 2. It works like the full size soft box but is portable and affordable. Love this item!!

Small, compact, easy to use when a small soft box is required. Has it's own built-in closures rather than the velcro bands.

Got two of these to use for wedding receptions. They work great as a general soft fill for the dance floor, or for couple's portraits. Easy to pop on and off an they fold flat to throw back in your bag when you don't need them. Great, inexpensive buy!

Small and portable! I do a lot of flowers, and the portability of this small box works out great! Well made and comes in a zippered pouch, in which you can also store your sync cord! We done!!

Poor design as it cuts far too much light to be effective... I returned it.

Great Soft box
By SMITH T.
Great softbox for speed light. If you shoot in manual mode and do not use TTL you can not beat this pocket box for the price. There are rubberized tabs that keep the box from slipping and a piece of elastic with Velcro that wraps around to secure the tabs.
Does the job well
By Michele C.
