Comments about Photoflex OctoDome nxt Softbox, Small - 3' (91cm) Diameter:
The construction of the OctoDome nxt is very solid and looks like it can handle any amount of abuse you throw at it.
Initial problems I had with setting up was that I was worried the connecting spokes would bend easily or break since you will have to use some strength to attach them into the speed rings.
After several uses though, I was assured that the materials used will not wear down that easily.
Highly recommended for beginners to advanced shooters.

Comments about Photoflex OctoDome nxt Softbox, Small - 3' (91cm) Diameter:
There is just something about octabox light...
Used a few octa's before, this is my favorite. Really easy to assemble (60 seconds) and gorgeous light.
This was my first Photoflex product, and the build quality is really impressive. Strong fabrics, nice supports, its a product that you can use and abuse for quite some time and it will stay right there with you.
Highly recommended.

Comments about Photoflex OctoDome nxt Softbox, Small - 3' (91cm) Diameter:
The PF OctoDome is a perfect solution for beautiful light and soft fall-off at the PhotoFlex price. I am looking forward to getting a second to see how it affects for fill. Worked perfectly for one model and in tight interiors - just large enough to give good coverage but not so much I couldn't get around it. Also, this is the only Octo I could find with a fabric grid system, which I am very interested in exploring...
This was money very well spent. The larger Octos look like fun, too, but given I was using this on new D1 Airs, I think I will have to wait until my budget recuperates!
The support system for PhotoFlex could be improved, as the bendable rods tend to be challenging to work with at times. But, maybe that is the small tradeoff for the price!
