Durable and easy to use.

Very easy to set up and looks professional. The difference in build between this and the very popular low budget brands is huge. You will not be disappointed.

Pros
  • Lighting controls and modifiers
Cons
  • No

Excellent light quality and construction

Excellent light quality and construction, the only thing I don't fault is that I only ordered one to test before buying a second. That's now $20 more in just one week. SMX

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Good quality, slightly translucent

Good quality, slightly too transparent but used as a flash diffuser for two portrait jobs and it worked as expected. Haven't tried it for flash reflection/bounce - but I assume it works fine.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Long time

High quality lighting tool

One of my favorite outdoor portrait tools; the other is my 7ft Westcott umbrella. This is a well designed and made umbrella that if not abused will last for years. Just don't be stupid if you use it outside in the wind. I doubt.

Pros
  • Umbrellas
Cons
  • Not the best

Well done! - Lighting Controls and Modifiers

This is my first "deeper" light modifier and it took me a while to get used to the more direct lighting it produces. But now that I have it, I love it! Although it definitely has a "colder" light temperature. No problem if you shoot in RAW. Just something to be aware of. I don't like it at all without the extra diffuser cover. Don't forget to order it when you order it.

Pros
  • Lighting
Cons
  • Fits

Pleasantly surprised

The construction is much stronger than I thought, very happy with the weight and feel. The quality of the light itself is truly amazing while remaining flattering. Shadows are rich and highlights are bright. This is paired with a diffusion toe. I feel like it fits somewhere between my giant 7ft umbrellas and my big octabox. I didn't know I needed it until I got it!

Pros
  • Lighting & Studio
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
