Review on EZ Pro Beauty Dish Octagon Softbox 36" W/ Speedring For Elinchrom Monolights, Prolinca & BXRi Strobe Flash Light by Tommy Abreu

This is my second one of these. The first lasted a solid 5-6 years and only brought because of a car accident. Overall this is a very good softbox. It's soft with a nice specular quality, especially nice for skin tones. It can be a bit challenging to setup when it is new as it's hard to pull and snap into position. That eventually loosens up a bit with use. It doesn't fold down flat like a traditional softbox, but the beauty of it is that it assembles much faster. You don't have to bother inserting rods into a speedring, then attach everthing to your light.My only complaint is the design of the reflector disc that you slide on that reflects light back into the silver backing. The piece is plastic and it doesn't take long for the little tabs to get stretched out and the hole to get too enlarged for the piece to stay in place. On my old one, I had to keep a small piece of gaff tape handy to keep it from sliding off. I can tell after only a few uses I will have the same issue with the new one. This seems like it would be easy to redesign and I hope it gets done. That wouldn't stop me from buying another one in the future though.
