Under $30? How can you defeat him? And I'm really impressed with its build quality. Looks very sturdy and I think it will last a long time. Comes with a powerful Bowens mount that easily fits my small COB LED light. This is a great addition to my set. I read the reviews before purchasing and was a little concerned that this would be difficult to build. But it took me less than 10 minutes, maybe closer to 5, to assemble it from scratch. It wasn't as difficult as the reviews people led me to believe. I've only watched the Revain video before and had no problems. Since it's small (which is what I wanted for this lamp), I plan on leaving it assembled. It shouldn't be a problem to travel with him to such shoots. BUT, if I had to break it, I could. It can take as little as 5 minutes to restore on set. I don't mind. I am also very satisfied with the light scattering. Especially for a softbox of this size. I use both scatter layers and I think this is perfect for interviews in hard-to-reach places. Overall I don't think this is a problem, especially considering the price. I don't see what can go wrong with this purchase.
