📸 Neewer 47in/120cm Octagonal Softbox Umbrella with Red Edges & Carrying Bag for Portrait/Product Photography, Compatible with Canon Nikon Sony Speedlite, Studio Flash (Black/Red) Review

This is amazing. I got it a few hours ago and was fooling around to check it out. This is exactly what I want and more than I need. The spread and direction of the light is amazing.

Diffusion fabric is too big. Even though I tried to install it at the very edge, it still leaves about 5 6 inches free as you can see in the photos. For me this is unsuitable. i will return it

If you don't need a professional quality softbox for a big budget project, this is great for anyone who uses it. It's also easy to assemble. I had a little trouble with the Velcro diffusion material and couldn't get it all the way over the frame until I tried again by pulling the edges of the fabric taut as I attached it to the frame. Perfect for the second time. Works great and I have no complaints.

So I got a lot of Neewer gear from those years. Great price and reliable device. This softbox is a great example. Very good average pack size. Round softboxes are great for portraits, as the light in the eyes appears round and natural. I tend to use Square/Rec softboxes for working with objects and still lifes, they're more like a window shape. However, you can also use this for still lifes. Suitable and perhaps more designed for flashes, but you can see it fits and works for large flashes as…

Diffusions good, fairly easy to pack and unpack and great for portraits. additional hardware like a gallows) and that you have to undo the fabric to get to the flash. A little stitching in a strategic place would have made it a lot more versatile, and a little 'door' in the fabric to access the flash would have been great. Also the actual diffuser fabric doesn't fit perfectly and looks a bit wavy and loose, but that's just a cosmetic objection and not a functional one as I don't see any…
