Review on Fotodiox Pro Octagon Eggcrate Grid, 50 Degree Openings - Fits EZ-Pro & Pro Standard Softboxes - 36" Softbox Compatible by Robert Grimm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It does what it's supposed to do

For the price of this grid and the EZ Pro softbox I'm not complaining. It's very well built, it's rugged, and since stuff like this should be considered consumables (i.e. there's no point repairing them if they break) then the price is right. I use this with my Einstein light because the PCB "original" is way overpriced for what it's supposed to do. This is a very decent bargain that's got very decent quality. Where else will you find an "unmbrella" (foldable) softbox and grid for $120? I love never having to setup the softbox from scratch--the umbrella approach is awesome, and it's a real ocatgon softbox, not some strange "brolly box" that's available on Ebay. A highly recommended alternative to the PCB stuff.

Pros
  • Lighting Controls & Modifiers
Cons
  • Can reduce light transmission by up to 70%
