*UPDATED 4/16* Underwhelming Product, Terrible Customer Service

Disclaimer: This review is long but covers the spectrum from ordering the product, to quality and setup, to dealing with the company.I ordered two of these and have used them for several shoots already. The boxes are decent and perform well, but I was pretty underwhelmed when I opened them compared to the 4 and 5 star reviews and ratings that Fotodiox products have received.There are several factors in the 2 star rating which kind of all go hand-in-hand: quality of the product, ease of…

Pros
  • Easy to set up: The speedring makes it simple to attach the softbox to your strobe flash light, and the lightweight construction won't weigh you down or take up too much space in your studio
Cons
  • Prone to overheating during extended use.

Stop torturing your expensive lights!.

Okay, so I own several Fotodiox Softboxes and they are excellent! but they are HEAVY! Here is the solution to STOP torturing your expensive lights with trying to hold these (and similar) heavy bad-boy softboxes. Do what I did for all my large Fotodiox softboxes on my Einsteins and order the "Interfit Softbox Yoke". It is a heavy-duty stand mounted bracket that holds the softbox, which weighs the most, not the light, and then your light just has to hold it's own weight. I did this for my…

Pros
  • Despite its professional quality, this softbox is reasonably priced and won't break the bank
Cons
  • Too heavy for certain mounting systems.

Quite heavy but great light quality

This is a very decent soft box, compatible with any studio head or monolight featuring a Bowens speedring.The good:- Very inexpensive for the quality- Double buffering- Excellent softness of the resulting light- Ease of opening vents to let heat evacuateThe less good:- Quite heavy - you will need serious stands and especially the bracket that holds the flash head or monolight needs to be very sturdy as the softbox only holds by the speedring and naturally tends to bend the flash down with is…

Pros
  • With this softbox, you can achieve the same high-quality lighting as professional photographers in a variety of settings, whether you're shooting portraits, products, or landscapes
Cons
  • Takes up valuable storage space when not in use.

Good quality for the price

Assembly and disassembly was a little bit cumbersome the first time, I followed the instructions rather than their YouTube video which appears to be more appropriate for the larger octagons. It is very small once it is in the bag.The carrying bag is really flimsy, pretty much a glorified plastic shopping bag but it will do, other than that quality is great for what you're paying, material is thick, it almost feels like leatherete, rods are flexible but seem strong.Most importantly for me, it…

Pros
  • Camera & Photo
Cons
  • Uneven light distribution creates unwanted shadows.
