My favorite modifier

I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for amount of pressure it takes to open the umbrella/locking it in place. I'm always cautious not to pinch my finger. Other than that this is easily my favorite modifier (and I have a few). This give me the BEST LIGHT for my work. Mine HAS THE BOWENS MOUNT. I'll attach a few images of it in use with my AD600, Behind The Scenes (BTS) set up, and a size comparison to a traditional 120cm octobox. Make sure you have enough space to set up. This modifier is huge!

Pros
  • LOVE LOVE this modifier! Works with my Einstein and alien bees.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to transport due to its size

big beautiful lighting

Big beautiful lighting. It's a beast.now one thing I will say I struggled with was trying to get it open. It seemed like no matter how how hard and far I pushed in the umbrella mechanism, it wouldn't catch. Then I noticed the center rod could be screwed (or unscrewed rather). A couple of turns to unscrew it, pressed the umbrella mechanism down, and it locked into place. Just an FYI if some of you get it and had the same issue I was having.

Pros
  • It's ok
Cons
  • Bulky design makes it difficult to store when not in use

Poor Carrying case Stitching!

Carrying case stitching and zipper came apart right out of unboxing! Big Really big Diffuser though. Carrying case feels like the cheapest they could make.

Pros
  • easy to use l, very portable comes with its own carrying case... i love itAlien Bee 800
Cons
  • Lock mechanism does not hold the softbox in an open position, it just does not work.

Tip for setting it up, don’t be like me lol

Okay y’all, I’m torn with my rating lol sooo one part of me says give it 5 stars because it’s super durable. But the other side says give it 3 for the company not simply explaining how to put it together. To save you time and muscle energy. If it’s not catching in the middle, loosen the pole in the middle a little and when you push down, TRY NOT TO HOLD DOWN THE RELEASE BUTTON TOO lol I didn’t realize that it was getting caught up on my hand when pressing it down and that was preventing it from

Pros
  • EZPro-Deep-48in-Novatron
Cons
  • May be more expensive than other softbox options with comparable features

Impossible to use: my feedback

Borderline impossible to use. As a female photog, I find it beyond difficult to set this up. I have to take my 15 year old son (pretty strong athlete) with me on shoots to open it and he struggled to open and close it. Such a nightmare. I wish I had used it more while I could return it. Sadly, almost 6 months later and I just want to throw it away. I had such high hopes.

Pros
  • Easy to open and close and easy to travel with. I use it for video
Cons
  • Requires assembly, which may be time-consuming

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy setup and break down and cheaper than the competition.

The ease of setting this up and taking it down alone makes it worthwhile, AND it's cheaper than the Godox or Apurture, even though you don't get some of the extras of those other ones, but they're at least twice as expensive.

Pros
  • The EZ-Pro Deep Parabolic Softbox provides professional-grade lighting for photographers and videographers on-the-go, allowing for quick and easy setup and breakdown thanks to its collapsible design
Cons
  • Can be difficult to repair or replace parts if damaged

Poor design, had to return

The mechanism for holding the umbrella open does not work, softbox snaps closed constantly. The only thing holding tension is a tiny divet in the center shaft which easily slips. Had to return it before even trying it once because it would not stay open. Too bad.

Pros
  • Lighting Controls & Modifiers
Cons
  • Can be time-consuming to set up and take down

DOES NOT FIT BOWENS, SAVE YOU RMONEY

It stated in description and title " Bowens Speedring". Good! HOWEVER it doesnt FIT BOWENS. Bad quality control

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Softbox panels can be difficult to remove for cleaning

Very poor mechanism quality

I like portability of this product. Unfortunately after using for only a few times, the mechanism that keeps it open just broke down. This part of the product is very poor made, so I won’t recommend it to anyone that does professional photography.Mario

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • The weight may cause stability issues during use

But overall very pleased with the soft light it produces

Only 4 star cuz it's a little big to fit threw the door so have to let it down to go out.But overall very pleased with the soft light it produces

Pros
  • great fast and easy setup . very big
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use with smaller lighting setups
