Review on πŸ“Έ Neewer 47''/ 120cm Octagonal Softbox Umbrella: Ideal for Canon Nikon Sony Speedlite, Studio Flash - Perfect for Portrait or Product Photography (Black) by Maria Ward

Revainrating 2 out of 5

At an unbeatable price, a must have whether on a budget or not.

A great softbox for now but should keep you on track over time. For now it's nice to have it back and great if you're shooting commercials, portraits or even photos of Marco. As I said, I'll make updates over time. Updated: July 17, 2016 So I know the difference in quality between a Pro model softbox and this Neewer softbox and I will say that I would love a Neewer softbox as a cheaper way to get the job done on a budget Price but I would like the general build quality to be on top of professional softboxes that have better build quality. There should be strong support inside the screen but this one has a good but plastic one and it seems to me that with more frequent use it can break over time. The comparison shows that this works great, but how long does it last for someone who wants to protect themselves from harm. Note: you need to take it out and put it back in from time to time and this is where the gap for the umbrella starts. This item is showing signs of tearing in transit and I have already seen this starting and I have only had less than a week and I hear a crack in the structure of the umbrella. Yes, I did 8 photo sessions with him and did my own self portrait where I narrated my image. Keep in mind that if it continues and gets worse I may need to call Amazon about the tear issue.
