Great Studio Light Modifier!

I recently purchased this octagonal studio lighting modifier for my photography setup, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The rapid setup was very easy, and it works great with my electronics. As a result of using this product I found that my portraits had a soft and smooth illumination, without any harsh shadows .The only downside I found was that the material could damage easily, so I had to be cautious while handling it. Overall, I would highly recommend this lighting modifier to…

Pros
  • Quick and easy to assemble, saving time on set up.
Cons
  • Requires an adapter ring to fit certain speedlights and strobes, adding additional cost.

Great product but the nickel and cent situation is ridiculous.

Okay, first off, Westcott products are really great. My problem is why a nickel and a dime? It doesn't make any sense to me. If you buy this you will get the mod in a state where you cannot use it at all. If you want to use it, you need to buy a switch plate. I believe it should come with a switch that can be turned off when the system is changed. It's a great concept, but why do I have to buy the starter plate separately? Next comes an extra cosmetic plate if you want to buy it extra. Compared

Pros
  • Lighting and Studio
Cons
  • So far so good
