12"X56" Softbox With Beauty Dish Design, Soft Diffuser, Speedring Bracket, And Grid/Eggcrate Set For Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT, 580EX II, 430EX II, And More By Pro Studio Solutions Review

I already own the Fotodiox Pro Octagon 48" Softbox, but required something more convenient to mobilize for outdoor/on location shoots, away from the studio.
