Review on 📸 Godox 120cm Portable Octagon Softbox Umbrella Brolly Reflector: Enhance Speedlight Flash Photography by Brent Gurney

*** The first two pictures are from Godox. You can see a much better seam reinforced with a zipper. The third picture is the Godox lace above and Neewer below. I'm not sure about the difference. Maybe it's just to accommodate the thicker fabric material. Which might have required a thicker metal material. The fourth picture is a cheaper Neewer zipper. Mine broke on the second day trying to hit my AD600. The 5th is in Neewer. So I figured that and Neewer would be the same, or maybe Godox better, but I also had Neewer down and Godox down. Both with the AD600 and when dropped onto grass from a 5ft stand. The Godox staff in the middle just broke. Niver came to his senses. Both saved the light but Godox you can't use it as the center stem isn't interchangeable. I had to use Neewer for this to work. Of course it could also have been a stroke of luck. (Not the fall itself!. This was due to a mistake when I placed the light in front of the sandbag. Always remember! Sandbag in a bright place FIRST, then take a flashlight and flash! Wind can occur when it least expected ).I like Godox cloth material, better reinforced zipper. The neewer zip area has already ripped open with little use. It s cheap. Godox has thoughtful material and even the inner reflective material is beautiful and durable. But this center pivot is cheap. This needs to be modernized. This saves the light and the umbrella. Because of the price difference, they need to update it. Thoughts on GODOX and Neewer production: Use a slightly larger zip for easy access. At this size I STILL have to remove the front diffuser to check the settings and adjust the screen. With a nice big zipper we have full access, no interruptions from forcibly opening the hole above the light. Use a slightly stronger center stick. Even after 5 uses, the place where the rod is screwed to the flash is deformed by cheap material. The less can be thinner as there are fewer holes in the metal from the top of the screw.
