    Huge but that light…

    I wanted a large light source for pictures of horses and their riders. This works great and that light is sweet.

    mostly good, a few annoyances

    The material quality and workmanship on the softbox is excellent. Everything fits properly, the diffusion is really uniform, the seams and sewing look like they will hold-up for many years. Really nice… But the bracket for the speedlite is just OK. The main issue is that the adjustable hotshoe clamp is wobbly. The screw-clamp tightens it in-place so that the speedlight won’t move in the in/out direction, but the milled cutout in the clamp has quite a bit of clearance around the bar it mounts-on, so the whole hotshoe mount (with speedlight attached) wobbles forwards and backwards. Its not a big deal on a fixed setup on a light-stand, where you can let the speedlight flop forward, and then fine-tune its position, and you are now done – nothing will move anymore… But if you are trying to carry this around on camera or on a monopod or something, where you are moving all the time – its annoying and doesn’t give me confidence that it will hang together. One more thing – there are absolutely no assembly instruction as to how the bracket is supposed to mount to the speedring. I thought it would be really obvious, but you have to search around the speedring perimeter for the correct set of holes to accommodate the stud mount, AND the anti-rotation pin (which is described nowhere). There is a photo of it assembled, but the details are buried in shadows, so can't really see how it is assembled. The softbox comes with a very compact bag in which the softbox and diffusors fit, but the bag is too small to fit the speedring or the speedlight clamps – a bit of an oversight there…
