This is my 2nd EXYBOX and I use them both fairly regularly. Works great with the 580 EX II. This kit makes it especially nice giving lots of versatility. I typically am shooting solo so multiple mounting options are essential.

The only downside is that the bag for the actual soft box is much bigger on this one than my previous EZYBOX. It was always a challenge to squeeze it in to the old bag, but the reduced size made it easier to toss in a bag.

As a one man (most the time) photog shooting models outdoors, this is exactly what I needed. It is light and well made. The only thing I wish is that the softbox head could be adjusted. Sometimes the neutral/slightly downward orientation is not the ideal. Maybe there is an additional accessory I can purchase to make this happen, need to look into it more.

Works perfectly with my Nikon SB-900. Has a swivel / double cold shoe mount. Rotate for whichever size you need for your flash. Has a smaller cold shoe for SB-800 and a larger cold shoe for the Nikon SB-900. My SB-900 was able to lock in with the lock on the speedlight. The softbox provided exactly the diffused light I had hoped for. Worth the money for portability. Excellent product.

So easy to set up and works perfectly, even with my Nikon SB-900 - no special connected needed. Nice soft light, and very sturdy. Would buy another one without hesitation.

I use this mainly for on-location portraiture and portability and ease of set-up makes it worth the money I paid for it!!!

I had not used a soft box before, only umbrellas, for location this was the perfect solution for me. It went together easily. Works great even with wirelessTTL. The soft directional light is really nice, and it is very portable even when it is fully assembled. Overall one of my better buys.

This was easy to set up right out of the box. Compact for traveling on photo shoots.

The simplest, most cost-effective way to take your studio lighting on-the-go. Dramatically changed the way I use my TTL lighting system. You won't regret this purchase.

The ezybox is very well made and has 2 layers of diffusion[the 15 Ezybox has one layer].The Mark II adaptor works perfectly with my Nikon SB600.The provided extension handle is very short. The manfrotto light stand is alittle flimsy. You can also buy the Ezybox and Mark II adaptor and add a better stand and tilt bracket and probably save afew bucks.

I am using the Ezybox with an SB600. I wasn't sure the SB600 would have enough power for the 24 " but I have power to spare. Easy to assembly. Everything included, Mark II adaptor, Tilt bracket (026),mounting angle bracket,2 bags, 2 diffusers,handheld, stand. Stand is alittle flimsy but no worries. It would cost you more to purchaes seperately. I paid [$]

comes with the softbox, manfrotto light stand, manfrotto angle bracket, extention arm for hand holding the softbox, cases, mount and ring for the flash . You could probably piece this together for less. [...]

Ever bend an umbrella because of a gust of wind on location? I have and thought this might be a better solution. It has worked out well. Although not wind proof it does handle it much better than an umbrella and is easier to hand hold if needed. It produces soft gorgeous light as well! On the con side the hotshoe holder fit my 430EX II but not my 580EX II. It is way too tight for the 580. I did have a generic hotshot mount on hand and it was easy enough to swap that one in to hold the 580. However for what this kit cost it should come with a selection of hot shoe adaptors and not make you pay extra for them or come with one that is not too SMALL to begin with! The included Manfrotto tripod is a light to medium duty model but it is nice to have a quality name brand included. The included handle broke on first use but was caused by a manufacturing defect. Bogen replaced it right away under warrantee [...] Over all I'm very happy with this kit.

This is a well-made, easy to setup and transport softbox that is missing a tilthead and possibly a cold shoe bracket that will fit your battery strobe.

I really like the quality of light it produces with or without the supplied diffuser. Softer, more directional light than an umbrella for sure. Folds up into a small package.

The problem is I find it difficult to position in the way I want it to. I only had some (non-tilting) Manfrotto cold shoe adaptors when I bought it, so I often had to have someone hold the softbox or position the box straight on a lightstand (when I would prefer to angle it downward).

I found this set up very useful, would be better with a video to put it together and take apart, but it's pretty easy. The speedlites fit in easily. You can use either the ST-E2 or master to set it off, but PW's are better.

The price is the only problem. The kit is expensive and I like to have everything together.
