TERRY B : Good morning I have a Godoc V1 Speed light do these small soft boxes  work with the flash with a round head ???
Dave G : Nowhere in this description does it give any sizes. Can someone tell me the size of each item?WILLIAM S : Don’t have them in front of me, but 4-6 inches would be close
KENNETH G : I assume this works with all flashes, but are there any that don't work well with this item?SANDY B : I have a Canon 430ex and a 580ex these work with both flashes on and off camera. they are easy to use portable and compact.MARK B : I use it with Canon's 480EX and it works fine, as intended. It's still a "small" light source, but it's better than your naked flash!CARRIE G : I wouldn't use it with like a regular "pop up" flash; but yes, you can pretty mush use it with any external flash. They work great and accompany me on every shoot!VIVIAN F : It works well with my Canon 580EXII, but not with my Vivitar 285H.MARIANNE S : They attach with a velcro strap & there is some extra space, so I would imagine it would attach to about any flash, other than the popup on your camera, that is. :)TIM T : Hey Kenneth, as far as I know it works on all. I haven't found one that it doesn't work on yet, and I use them to help folks learn off camera flash. Hope this helps.

Excellent Kit

I got this after watching a Lynda.com learning path about product photography. I have a gazillion light modifiers in my kit, but this one is great. Easy to use + these make it super easy to increase the size of my SB 910. So lightweight. Individually these pieces fit easily in the back pocket of my Domke F3XB bag. They come in a nice flat zippered pouch. I cannot recommend this set enough. Just get it.

Great Light

Works very well as modifiers for speedlites. Allows me to do studio work with the speedlites.

NIcely made and well priced, but some design flaws

I was keen to receive my Westcott Erin Manning flash box kit to use on both my crop and full frame Canon DSLRs. When set up right, they soften the harsh light of a camera mounted speedlite, and should also do well off camera (though I have yet to try this). Main problems are: (I). The mounting "throats" are sized to fit electronic flashes with big heads. The flash boxes fit well with my Sigma 600 series flash, but when tightened down on my Canon 430 EX II, this scrunched in the sides of the box preventing the full light of the flash evenly reaching the front panel. (Ii). The distance between the front and the back of the boxes are about one inch too long, causing the front bottom lip of all but the smallest box to cause a shadow across the top of the photo. To avoid this, you have to tilt the flash box slightly upwards, and this results in uneven light. Interestingly, the co-developer of the boxes with Westcott, Erin Manning, in her helpful training module, uses a full frame 24-105 EF lens (and thus longer) on a crop frame Rebel. This circumvents the problem, but if you mount a EF-S lens like the 15-85 or the 18-55 kit lens on a crop frame DSLR (the more likely combination), the problem returns. Off-camera with slaves, this is obviously not an issue. Bottom line: nice kit and video, but scope for improving the next version.

Great product for on the go

This kit is small and compact. I use it for fill lighting when the hard flash is just too artificial.

Missing Small Softbox

The units are great as are all Westcott products. However, my package was missing the small 6x7" diffuser. Adoramatv was going to check the warehouse and let me know. This was 5 days ago and no answer. In the interim, I''ve called Westcott and hot an answer immediately. They ae replacing the missing unit.
