Neewer Foldable Octagonal Softbox with Bowens Mount Speedring: Perfect for Studio Flash Monolight, Portraits, and Product Photography Review

Foldable soft box makes life and shooting oooooooooooooooooooooo! I hated collecting rods and squeezing corners, with this it pops up instantly so all I have to do is screw it onto my flash. I feel comfortable with this softbox on set as it sets up very quickly and provides very soft light.

Folds up so it's MUCH more convenient than fiddling with assembly. This softbox saves me so much time setting up, one less problem not more. It fits my flash so well it stays tight. Incredibly soft flashes when I use it, so by all accounts it's a well made, super effective product.

Let's see how durable it is, right? But it's easy to set up and fold down, which is important for my location. To be honest, it seems like a good thing to be true, so it usually is. The foldable Chimera softbox costs 6 times as much but lasts forever. So if it takes a year or two, it's worth it. I leave a few in the trunk just in case!

I love this softbox! It's great for running and shooting as it easily rolls up and down in seconds and you don't have to spend a lot of time feeding and inserting metal rods into the softbox. Brackets are amazing! I plan to buy more as I buy more lights and I hope to find this softbox in a larger size!

I recently bought this octagonal softbox modifier because my Phottix main modifier broke after 4 years of use. Included was a simple carry case and two white soft light covers. It is easy to assemble and light in weight. I use it with Flashpoint Speedlite R2 and Evolv200 with Godox mount and it gives very soft and good light for portraits. The design is good but the durability is questionable. Hope it lasts over a year.

so i bought this softbox to replace my old set. The first time I went cheap and it didn't last long. A big mistake on my part. So when I came across this model a second time and it looked good, I decided to give it a try. Boy am I glad I did that. I've used it twice since it came in the mail and can't believe I didn't buy it the first time. That would save money and time. This is fantastic. Okay, stop talking about this thing. here's a little thing. I'm not a professional photographer. I take…

My first impression is that this softbox is of very good quality. The umbrella's poles, bracket and material are all professional quality. I'd say it's not a quick and easy travel rig, unlike your main wing which you can open quickly and is heavy (which also speaks to its durability). I would have liked a small manual. It takes a bit of "hum" to get the bars in place, but I think that's a good sign that they're tight. A few bars were bent after the first disassembly, so I hope they won't break…
