Comments about Westcott Halo Round Softbox - 45" (115 cm):
This works just like a soft box but much easier and faster to set up. I was amazed at how accurate the skin tones are using this product. I can do a one light setup and I have absolutely no shadows. This is perfect for on the fly-location photography where you need something more than on camera flash but less than a whole studio set up. One negative aspect however is the lack of a storage bag. It is difficult to fold this up exactly how it came in the factory packaging. A soft nylon sleeve would have been helpful but overall, a very worthwhile product.

Comments about Westcott Halo Round Softbox - 45" (115 cm):
Very pretty light, I use it for indoor or outdoor location portraits also for weddings. My lighting assistant uses it on a monopod with a portable lumedyne head and a Pocket Wizard trigger, great for wedding groups and candid action. Sets up really fast compared to traditional softbox. Construction is a bit weak and not super durable. Mine broke within a couple of weeks and had to be replaced. Have to be more gentle with it. I wish it came with a storage bag, it is big and puffy when closed.

Comments about Westcott Halo Round Softbox - 45" (115 cm):
This is as easy to use as an umbrella, but gives a much nicer light. We use it at weddings and it has the added benefit of not blasting the people standing behind you with light.

Comments about Westcott Halo Round Softbox - 45" (115 cm):
Great tool, and part of my on location kit bag. Set up is simple, but my only complaint is that like most of these umbrella soft-boxes, they are somewhat flimsy (in fact one arm bent on the first opening). Outside of that complaint, it does produce a beautiful light, and it is fairly wind resistent.
Pros
- Attach Securely
Cons
Best Uses
- Outdoors
Comments about Westcott Halo Round Softbox - 45" (115 cm):
Light and portable softbox adaptable to off camera flash and other location lighting. Works very well and amazingly wind resistant.
