Review on Neewer 32" Octagonal Softbox with S-Type Bracket Holder (Bowens Mount) and Carrying Bag for Speedlite Studio Flash, Portrait & Product Photography by Pamela Mcgee

I'm a photographer but still don't have a lot of money for gear. I have had many Neewer products over the years and have always felt that they are value for money and that's about it. For around $40-$45 you can get a Bowen flash mount (it's $15). it actually has some weight and doesn't seem super cheap even if most of it is plastic) and you get an octobox dome screen and diffuser plate. I'd rather have it with a mesh but you get what you get. This is the best? No, but you have to spend A LOT more for a small improvement. It's worth the price and more. It is easy to assemble and fold, making it ideal for carrying. They shoot the silver dome and reflect the light back, which also allows you to effectively use it as a cosmetic bowl. And Godox sells a matching cellular network which I bought from Amazon for $15 but haven't tried yet). I used it on a wedding portrait shoot recently and it came out phenomenal. And it's lightweight, so it's easy to move to different rooms. I highly recommend that you get one of these if you need light modifiers on a budget. This has become my number one choice for lighting (and the Godox 12" x 48" strip box is my second).
