    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…

    Does this require a speedring for the specific light being used with it? How does it attach to the light?
    Asked by: Peggy
    This does require a light specific speed ring. The speedring will lock to the face of the light in various ways depending on the design.

    Softboxes are pretty easy to assemble once you get used to it. The first couple times can be harder. Always get familiarity with them before your in front of a client.
