50 Degree Fotodiox Pro Eggcrate Grid For 12X80 EZ-Pro & Pro Standard Softboxes - 2X2X1.5" Openings Review

From the reviews, I read that this product was a cheap alternative to the more professional softboxes, and that is correct - it is practically made of paper. However I took that into consideration and purchased anyways just to have the "function" of a softbox with grid while knowing I need to be especially careful with it. Unfortunately several months after purchasing it, I finally opened it up it up to see how fragile it was. then months later decided to try the eggcrate only to find…

The product isn't what was described, very cheap vinyl strips that wasn't even made to the correct size. Don't Buy this product! You will be very disappointed. Save your money and time. This product isn't worth the money even if they sold it at $10. Beyond cheap, talk about absolutely no quality control when the label sewn on it says 12 x56 and it measures 9 3/4 at best. What a joke! Returning ASAP!

This product is the only bad product I've purchased from Fotodiox. Their softboxes are amazing, and easy to use, and I feel guilty leaving a bad review for any of their products, but the grids just aren't the same quality of their other products. The grids are made of a very thin and cheap material, and they pretty much fell apart the first time I used them. They worked well while they were mounted, but removing them from the light is when they started to fall apart. I would love to find some…

If you are a professional.stay away from this.I know.if professional should not be buying this in the first place.correct. If you were to purchase.install and never move or remove.could be alright.third time I removed.the whole entire right side tore from top to bottom.overpriced for what it is. bummer.

This product ripped on me in the middle of a shoot. The listing says 2-year warranty but no one responds to inquiries. That's my feedback.

Some reviewers say that this grid is not well made. IMO, it is better made than any other less expensive grid I have ever purchased like PCB grids. I'm sure there are plenty of awesome grids for 3 or 5 times the money. If years of service and the highest standards of construction are your goal - go buy the $250 grid and don't compare it to $50 grid. That is like comparing a Mercedes to a Chevette.

So very easy to set up it has replaced my similar non folding boxes. Light is even and nice. All but one did not initially fit my lights as advertised but manufacturer made it right with replacement speed rings. AMAZON was no help Fotodiox was.

This is a budget item that is very suitable to leave set up in your studio; however, if you plan to use this item hard, and in the field, I would certainly recommend you save your money and buy a more durable pro product. The supplied speed ring is a cheap, and not heavy duty, but does fit my Alien Bees stones well with no issues. The fabric grid is somewhat fragile, and likely will not hold up with heavy use - specifically taking on and off, though I tend to leave mine attached. Overall, this…
