Comments about Westcott Octabank Softbox for Flash Only - 7':
I use the Westcott Octabank for studio and outdoor portraits with Alien Bee strobes.
What's great:
- Gentle soft light and wide coverage for groups
- Price was right compared to Elinchrome etc.
- Fairly easy set-up. Don't over-do it on the rods though.
- Came with a tilt adapter for the light stand. Nice touch.
Not so great:
- 7' is big. If you take this outside be ready to manage it appropriately.
** Note- You will have to buy the appropriate speed ring to fit your brand of strobes separately- budget appropriately.
Also- you'll want to mount this on a heavy duty light stand or c-stand. I use a heavy duty stand with wheels and a 15# sandbag on it. Better safe then sorry.

Comments about Westcott Octabank Softbox for Flash Only - 7':
You better have a strong lock on your lighting if you plan on using this. I had it attached to Elinchrom D-lite-4 kit and i tightened it so much that i was afraid to tighten it more for fear of snapping some piece of mounting hardware. It would NOT stand up... Obviously this is more of a failure with my lights vs the Octa... but one does not work with out the other.
Light quality is fantastic. Its basically portable window light on a cloudy day. Soft diffused shadows, even tonality of light. Beautiful light modifier.
Excellent build quality.
