Review on 📸 Godox 14"x63" Strip Softbox with Honeycomb Grid for Studio Strobe Lighting - Bowens Mount Speedring Included by Jeremy Kakaruk

I love this softbox, especially because it comes with a grille, but it's definitely a hassle to assemble. The softbox arrived in the Revain packaging box in some sort of taped envelope. It was difficult to cleanly cut the packaging without cutting the contents. After unpacking, the softbox comes in a nice softcase. When I opened the case I looked for assembly instructions but couldn't find anything. So I went back to the Revain listing where they had some building instructions but for an earlier softbox version that was designed differently and without a grid. So of course I had to attend the meeting. The version they show had the diffuser on the outside of the softbox, while this version has the diffuser on the inside and has velcro straps around the inside edges. Inserting a rod is definitely no fun. When you start inserting the sticks, you must first thread the sticks through the tabs of the softbox material on the sides and then into the pockets on the ends. You may need a flathead screwdriver to open the packets a bit for each rod. Once you've attached all four poles to the softbox, the real fun begins. Then you need to insert the other ends of the rods into the side holes of the metal disk. The first is easy. The rest require a lot of force to bend each one into the appropriate hole. If you don't have instructions on which holes to use, you'll need to come back here to Revain to try and read the numbers you should put them in. Much luck! When you assemble it it does a great job, but I wouldn't want to assemble it on the spot. The softbox is large and illuminates the full length shot well. The network works well too. I took off a star due to the lack of instructions and incorrect instructions listed here on Revain. Fix those issues and I'll come back to this review.
