Review on Photogenic Mount Studio Flash Compatible Softbox - Fotodiox EZ-Pro 12X56In Quick Collapse by Kaveen Reyes

I wanted one of these to use on location for a pure white back drop. I read reviews on similar (not EZ) octoboxes and many complained about how long those other boxes took to assemble. For on-location use, that wasn't really an option, so I'm thrilled to have found this one. It takes literally less than 5 minutes to set up. You will want a high ceiling room to work in if you want it to get above your subject.The light is gorgeous (again, using either as a backdrop for pure white background or as a main light - which I love!) I'm in a small studio and use with a speedlight like this ( Godox Ving V860II-S 2.4G TTL Li-on Battery Camera Flash Speedlite for Sony HVL-F60M, HVL-F43M, HVL-F32M and the corresponding radio controller ( Godox X1T-S 2.4G TTL Wireless Flash Trigger Transmitter for Sony DSLR Cameras with MI Shoe e.g. A77II A7RII A7R A58 A99 ILCE6000L - With Pergear Cleaning Kit . I also have a bowen's mount S-type bracket to hold it and it is very easy to use and holds securely ( Godox S-type Bracket Bowens Mount Holder for Speedlite Flash Snoot Softbox Honeycomb .Be sure to use on a sturdy light stand. I thought my cheapy light stands were sturdy, but they would begin to bend under the weight of this, so I got some that were a bit stronger. Also be sure to put one of the three legs in front (same direction as the octobox) so it doesn't tip over.It comes with both the inner and outer diffuser, and small metallic thing to spread the light and minimize hot spots, and a nice case that's really easy to get everything back in. Note that this one doesn't come with the grid, and that would need to be purchased separately.It's huge (ok, I measured and it's not quite 60" across, but still huge), lovely light (even from just a speedlight), and so easy to set up/take down. Definitely recommend this one!
