Review on πŸ“Έ Godox 120cm Portable Octagon Softbox Umbrella Brolly Reflector: Enhance Speedlight Flash Photography by Justin Frazier

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great budget mod.

I'm using this with the AD200 and the X-Pro transmitter on my A7iii and I love the results. As a large softbox, it catches the wind like crazy. I have heavy, light tripods that I've been using on location for over 20 years and this thing clearly wants to tip over. Sandbags or weights are a must. Mine has withstood a couple of falls and one of the last ones bent the extension so it's only a matter of time before it breaks. (My fault I didn't secure my stand) It's a bit awkward to set up and was one of the reasons I tried to stay away from the umbrella guy, but once you figure out what works best for you it becomes secondary . I probably won't buy another one just because adjusting the flash angle on the fly is a process.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Nothing here
