Review on Kamerar D Fuse Combo Medium Softbox by Courtney Johnson

Velcro for lighting up barn doors. Offers *a lot* of attenuation compared to a multi-bulb LED, but you still get a fairly 'directional' source. You need a much larger canvas to get really soft light. The magnetic kickstands work well but can easily be knocked off or destroyed when moving. Easy to fix after setup. Folds into a very small and light package. This kit, which includes the IMO mesh, is essential to prevent side spills from the front of the source. No problem if you are in an open area. Knocks down maybe 1/2 stop of light or less. In general, if you have a source with barn doors, I doubt it makes a difference compared to cutting off some of the diffusion across partially closed doors to soften the source. To really soften the light, it needs to be further away from the large diffuser. However, if you're using multiple lights and moving fairly lightly/quickly, this works well and prevents you from getting heavy with mesh etc while still modifying the raw light well. I doubt it will be very stable in windy conditions. Overall, it's not a "wow" but a nice, lightweight, and inexpensive addition to the arsenal.
