Great softbox

"Sturdy build with high quality material. I like how portable this is, just fold in down like a umbrella. White face is velcroed on the sides make for quick set up. Gives a nice soft even light. I use this with my Speedlite 580EX II inside, mounted on a umbrella bracket and triggered via radio trigger...." Read Full Review »

Great, just don´t let it fall

"This is a very good softbox, very easy to use and deliver great light. I used with my Elinchrom Quadra so I do not need to get inside the softbox to change power. The only downside is that is weak and I mean very weak, broke two already. With the softest of the falls it will bend the rods, so when working outside sand bags are a must!..." Read Full Review »

"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 »

"Came highly recommended by OneLight. It is an easy enough concept. I've got to learn the sweet spot for the shaft location on the flash holder as I put it toward the end of the shaft (so the holder is closer to the white panel) but that didn't allow me to tilt the whole unit down.

"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. It requires that you open the front to adjust power of Strobes so that can get annoying, best get the Power Setting dead on when you first put it up. I'd recommend this produ …"  Read Full Review »
