Review on Fotodiox Pro 32In Quick Collapse Softbox For Bowens Mount - Non-Interchangeable Insert by Jim Cronin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great price, good collapsable design, material is a little weak

The actual structure seems very well made and is easy to break down after use. You can be ready to shoot in a minute once you get familiar with the setup, and the light it casts is beautiful. Controlled, but also does a good job of filling a room, which is exactly what I wanted. Giving 4 stars because the first time I opened the globe, a seam ripped near the velcro closure. The hole wasn't large enough to let light leak and doesn't look like will continue to rip, but it is something to be mindful of. This product is hundreds less than the profoto version, and having shot both, construction is nearly identical. But, as mentioned, the actual lantern cover seems to be the weak point here so just be easy when putting up and breaking down. I'm happy and will continue to use mine as-is as it's not effecting shooting at this time.
