"In my opinion, a top notch tool for location work. It folds more compactly than any other softbox, opens more quickly than any other softbox. The Velcro-attached front diffuser flips on in a heartbeat. Because the head faces the rear, there is no need for a second diffuser. This softbox goes fro …"  Read Full Review »

"I've found this Softbox really quick to set-up due to the fact it's built like an Umbrella. The Lighting is soft and even.
