Westcott Mega JS Apollo Reviews
SUPER SOFT lighting!
There's no doubt that this softbox is huge and very hard to maneuver around, but the diffused light is wonderful! Keep in mind depending on how you plan to shoot, you might need more powerful strobes. I have 2 x 200ws strobes in there and it seems to work well. Not sure if speedlights will cut it, unless you plan to shoot high ISO, or very larger f-stops.
Easy to set up
This was incredibly easy to set up and store back in its bag. I can't wait to use it for my next studio session
Wells well
It's big and gives a nice soft light and surprisingly my sandbags keep it in place in a breeze.
Good
So far I’ve enjoyed using the Westcott time. Everything works as it should. My only current issue is the zipper doesn’t completely zip up after you place your flash. But doesn’t seem to cause an issue and seems to still work fine.
Perfect for newborn photography setup
I received the item and set it up a few days later, worked perfectly and is very light weight so easy to move around the room. My entire order from BH photo was shipped in a day or so after online ordering and I received it within a week which was fantastic considering they were shipping to Newfoundland Canada!
Terrible product
very flimsy. i did not even get to use it as soon as i opened it it was broken.
Awesome products!
meet my expectations!
Excellent softbox
The beauty of this softbox is that it's very large thus producing very soft flattering light, it's light, easy to setup and bring along, and most of all, the softbox is designed so that the flash lit inside and it reflects a bounced light.
