This is a soft box. That's all I needed and that's what I got. Easy to set up, easy to attach and the extra gels and mesh are a nice bonus. Gels are incredibly easy to install with it. So, frankly, each of them is shocking. It should be noted that it's not as big as other softboxes, which may or may not be a good thing, but for my indoor setup where space is limited, this is exactly what I need. Because it's a bit more compact, I can fit it in the back seat of my car along with various pieces of gear without having to disassemble it. Overall I agree and will definitely buy again.
