Review on πŸ”… Aputure Light Dome II 35 Inch Deep Octagon Softbox for Aputure 120D Mark 2 300D II 300X 120D 120T & Bowen-S Mount Lights: Enhanced Illumination by Zaine Davis

Internal diffusion broke first time

Has not been used in production so my comment is limited to the assembly process only. The internal diffuser is supposed to be attached inside with four Velcro straps. My device came with Velcro straps that were too short, and when I tried to stretch the fourth strap to take advantage of internal diffusion, it broke. The internal diffusion straps are very flimsy, especially for this amount of money for this particular softbox. Not a good first impression and I haven't found a way to buy additional internal diffusers yet. Update: I went to Lowe's and bought a roll of velcro. I cut off all four thin straps and replaced them with strong velcro straps. In total we spent 2 hours trying to solve this particular problem.
