Comments about Westcott Octabank Softbox for Flash Only - 5':
The Octabank produces beautiful light. Not difficult to setup and the provided tilt adapter keeps the weight off the strobe. Seems durable so far. Used it outdoors to light a family of 4 with no problems.

Comments about Westcott Octabank Softbox for Flash Only - 5':
If you're a headshot/portrait/lifestyle/editorial photographer and don't own an Octabank Softbox, BUY ONE!
It will push your photos to the next level. I was researching all the different types and brands of softboxes. I landed on the Westcott 5' Octabank and I am so glad I did! You can't beat the price. It was far less than some of their competitors. And like you, I always think if the price is cheaper, than am I buying a "cheaper" product? Well, in this case: NO! The construction and build quality is superior. It is made to withstand the elements of indoor and outdoor photography. I'm not saying to hop a plane and run into the Amazon Jungle with this thing, but normal use will be no problem.
I am a fan of Westcott Softboxes and Reflectors.
