Photogenic Mount Studio Flash Compatible Softbox - Fotodiox EZ-Pro 12X56In Quick Collapse Review

Two main parts in this product that do warrant to be reviewed separately, the soft box and the speedring.First the soft box: It was relatively easy to deploy once you realize that there is a locking mechanism, and that the only way to lock it is to place your hand through one of the four hook and loop openings in the back and pull. The other method that works well, when the light diffuser is not installed, is to place the ring side on the ground and push downwards, with both hands, on the…

Quality of this softbox is pretty good. I set them up and did some tests shots and did not detect and color casts or anything as a couple people have mentioned. Setup is really quick and easy, as once you put the diffusers on you can leave them on. The ribs are metal so I could see how the softbox could possibly be bent if handled harshly. However the price is decent and in the event this happens I will just purchase a replacement. I bought the 48” and 36” and like them both.

All I have to say is wow this thing rocks! It is the same quality as any other studio Pro grade equipment at 1/2 the price! I am angry that it took me so long to test these guys out after I spent soo much on soft boxes in the past. The Light produced is amazing! They are deep so you can really focus the light if you want or if you want to turn it into a beauty dish so be it. I use both White Lightning and Elenchrom so I had to get second adapters. Oh no the adapter rings are going to be a…

I purchased the Fotodiox EZ-Pro Octagon Softbox 60" with Speedring for Bowens Gemini Standard. I go on locations for photoshoots and the ease of assembly is exactly what I was looking for. I bought the Fovitec - 1x 32 inch Photography Portrait Beauty Dish Softbox w/Grid - [Lightweight][Durable Nylon][Easy Set-up][Bowens Mount] to compare as far as assembly and the Fotodiox definitely won! Just the shear amount of time to set up the Fotodiox was enough to make me want to buy the 36" Fotodiox and

I wanted one of these to use on location for a pure white back drop. I read reviews on similar (not EZ) octoboxes and many complained about how long those other boxes took to assemble. For on-location use, that wasn't really an option, so I'm thrilled to have found this one. It takes literally less than 5 minutes to set up. You will want a high ceiling room to work in if you want it to get above your subject.The light is gorgeous (again, using either as a backdrop for pure white background or…

I can think of absolutely nothing negative to say about this product. It sets up and breaks down in a flash. My studio is in my home and the room is multi purpose so the majority of the time it is collapsed. When collapsed its about the same length as a golf umbrella and about 4 times the girth, I can easily tuck it away. I leave the internal and outer diffuser panels attached when I put it away, and when I need to get it out I can pull it out of its case and have it deployed and on my stand in

If you had asked my a month ago, I would have given this a 1 star rating. BUT, Fotodiox customer service was awesome. I first ordered this softbox and it took several weeks to arrive. After it arrived the speedring would not fit on my Photogenic Lights. I sent it back and ordered again thinking the wrong speedring was shipped. Second softbox arrived with the same issue. So, I wrote them about my issues. They told me that they had reports of the problem and that they could send me the fix. Well,
