Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ YONGNUO Honeycomb Grid Softbox Diffuser: Enhance Your Photo Strobe Studio Equipment Light with YN360 Compatibility by Amy Johnson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

is this even made for YN360 light?

That's a good idea, but a terrible design. I don't think they even tested this product before deciding to sell it. Like it wasn't even meant for that light. The softbox is not upright. I assume it's because of the cheap bars on the sides and the way it was packaged for shipping. It bends like a banana when it's on. With the help of the elastic ends, the honeycomb should simply stay put. It has no velcro or anything to hold on to. Speaking of Velcro, this is how it stays in the light. The softbox has 3 velcro attachment points (top, middle and bottom). You line them up and bring them to the light on the other side of the Velcro. It doesn't make sense since it was made specifically for this light. I thought it would just keep slipping. The velcro prevents it from slipping off, but the honeycomb can easily detach depending on the situation. It's just not well thought out. YN360 flashlights, at least the ones I have, already have magnets built in to hold the spread. You could make this soft box slide with magnets to keep it from falling. The velcro design may work if you have other similar lights. You can also incorporate velcro straps for honeycombs to keep them from falling off. They could have easily fixed all these problems if they just tested it.

Pros
  • Easy to disassemble, easy to fold and easy to carry, ideal for studio or outdoor mobile photography.
Cons
  • Almost never
