Description of Neewer Beehive Umbrella Speedlite Panasonic

Softbox equipped with grids. An internal & an external diffuser (both removable) for versatility in refining the hard/soft ratio of flash light. Softbox is easily assembled using the softbox "skin", four flex rods and a speed ring for the flash head. With Standard size Bowens speed mounts, this hiqh quality softbox fits right in any studio. The large size of the softbox makes it desirable for fashion photography, portraits and medium to large sized product shots.

Very good octo. However

Very good Octo. However, I have to say that the product I received is not 100% the same as the one in the photo. My version didn't have a separate removable shutter to cover the entryway near the flash; My valve is connected and the flaps open and close. Nonetheless, it's a great product. The only downside of this box for me are the tiny clips that connect the baffle to the inner shell as they seem to get lost easily if you are not careful when disassembling, but that is by no means a reason…

Pros
  • Good marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Quality

Incredible quality!

Yes you want! I hesitated for a long time and read people who did not know how to put it together. Yes, the only trick is to find the seam of the pocket where the rod will be inserted on the outside edge of the octagon. The smaller diffuser easily attaches to the poles with loops in seconds, the mesh deploys in seconds with Velcro, the other diffuser attaches to the mesh in place of the mesh OR Velcro after installation of your choice! Very versatile and very well made! I'm really impressed…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Alright

Go Big or Stay Home!

WOW! I am an avid user of Westcott light modifiers and treasure my 45 inch Master's Brush Umbrella. Well known brand that has essentially the same performance. If you use a box of this size you will see the value. Great for couples or 3/4 portraits. You have enough space and power. I use a 300ws studio flash and it works great, although a 640 flash like the Einstein would be good for large group shots at a distance. Also, the octagonal shape creates a nice round catchlight in the eyes, compared

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank

Big beautiful light source

I was a bit hesitant to take a chance on this box. These light shapers from China can be very successful. I was pleasantly surprised by this box, it is very good value for money! The material and assembly quality is excellent for this price range. The wall fabric is very thick and the inner surface has a grainy silver texture. Inner aperture and outer aperture diffuse light well. The bars are steel, with metal tips, very stiff. The end that slides into the pocket is smaller and rounded, while…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Weight

Robust modifier suitable for lighting and studio

Beehive's new octagonal flash is a fairly large (55 inch diameter) durable light modifier. If you have collected traditional softbox mods before this purchase, the process is quite simple. although I wouldn't call it easy. The tension rods are built into the fabric and then connected to the speed ring. Select the slot on the opposite side of the Octabox and insert the next tie rod. Move 90 degrees to the next tension bar and insert it, followed by the next bar straight across from the one you…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
