Sturdy and inexpensive

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2012

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I was actually very surprised by this. It's very solid and it doubles as a nice umbrella holder too. I bought this along with a 45 inch shoot through umbrella, which is a really nice place to start using off-camera flash.

PROS:

The nice thing about this is the mount. I can very quickly and easily change back and forth from a softbox to an umbrella. You could always use 2 completely separate mounts to switch between umbrella and softbox, but this is a nice 1-mount solution. If I have the softbox on, I can just slide the ring out (and even leave the softbox on the ring) then just throw on an umbrella. I just have to slide the flash back a tad on the slider. If I want to throw the softbox back on, then it is already attached to the ring and I just have to fold up the umbrella and slide on the softbox, then slide the flash back forward. The only drawback to this is that the metal is kind of rough and does not slide as smoothly as I would want it to. It would have been much better if it has some sort of coating on it.

Also, the swivel mechanism holds very secure. I have a name brand umbrella holder that cost $24 and it "creeps" (slowly points downward) with my umbrella on even with it tightened as tight as I can get it. I can use a 45 inch umbrella with this mount and it stays very secure.

Also, the nice thing about this softbox is you can use the flash in remote mode and trigger it with your on-camera flash because the body of the flash is exposed outside of the softbox. You don't need a pocket wizard.

The softbox itself is nice. Nothing to complain about and does exactly what it's supposed to do. The material feels nice. I don't have any other softboxes to compare it to, but it definitely doesn't feel cheap like I kind of expected it to be.

CONS:

Like I mentioned earlier... although it is very solid, the metal is kind of "rough" feeling and is not very smooth when sliding around the flash and softbox ring. The metal is very sold and secure, it needs some sort of coating. It kind of feels "unfinished".

There is very slight (and I mean VERY slight) "wriggle" room on the softbox ring when it's attached. Doesn't seem to affect anything, other than you can wriggle it very very slightly if you actually push back and forth on it.

Inconsistent design. According to the reviews, it seems like some people are getting slightly different variations of this. So please beware because a feature I have mentioned in this review may not apply to yours.

CONCLUSION:

Overall, I am very pleased with this, especially for the price. This is literally a steal at this price. Only a couple things that would make this better. It needs some sort of coating added to make the finish a bit more smooth, and a little bit tighter fit on the softbox ring to get rid of any wriggle.

If you are on a budget and want to try off-camera flash, get this softbox for tight shots/headshots, a decent sized shoot-through umbrella for wider shots and a nice lightstand (don't go cheap here, buy a quality lightstand. It will make your life much easier) and you can have very nice, very inexpensive studio quality lighting.

For the price, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this softbox and it worth every penny, but just for convenience purposes, I will probably end up getting a new mount eventually just to have something with a coating that feels a bit more finished/polished. I will definitely be keeping the actual softbox though. No reason to replace that unless it actually gets damaged.

It's a $35 dollar softbox

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2012

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

The first thing to remember is that this softbox costs $35 including shipment. How is this compared with $189 for the Lastolite or $125 for the Cheetahstand (not available on Amazon) models? Here are a few pointers on what to expect:

The good:

1. Build quality is beyond expectations from this product. Nice powder finish. Screws - no rivets - throughout, so it isn't likely that the bracket would fall apart and couldn't be fixed. The plastic knobs are solid and the rubberized ring will not scratch the fabric.
2. No ball-joint that no one except Lastolite seems to get right, so the bracket will not collapse.
3. Folds into a very compact size.
4. No flashy logo of the manufacturer (also known for making kinky adult toys) and tight build combine to produce a simple "professional" look, if this is important to you.

The not-so-good:

1. It looks like some of the reviewers have received copies with internal diffusion baffles. Mine didn't and a quick review of the Amazon spec confirms that this softbox is not advertised as being supplied with an internal baffle. So don't expect one.

Response to some of the critique:

1. You have a problem with the tight frame jumping out the case? Frame too tight to collapse it? Photography isn't only about pressing the shutter button, didn't you know? If this softbox makes your life unbearable, how do you deal with holding big and heavy cameras, moving unwieldy lighting gear? Hit the gym.
2. No manual? This thing is so basic, why do you need a manual? If you can't figure out how to use a softbox by yourself and didn't already read a ton of online (written and YouTube) tutorials, perhaps you are not ready to spend money on a softbox.

Conclusion:

1. Before making a big deal out of the missing internal baffle and running to spend x5 as much on the Lastolite or 3x as much on the Cheetahstand models, remember that we are talking about a square piece of fabric here - one you can buy in a fabric store for a dime. Add to this a 1/2 hour DIY finishing project and you got yourself a soft box whose performance (at least in the short-run) will match that of its much more expensive siblings. Why would the manufacturer not include an inky-dinky baffle beats me, but for the price this product offers a great platform, which with a little add-on, would leave very little if anything to complain about. I really can spend that $100-150 on something useful.
2. Is this item suitable for professional use ("professional" as in "your dinner depends on its performance")? The answer is mixed. From a build perspective it seems like it could withstand some abuse and it's not likely that a Lastolite Eazybox would last (excuse the pun) 5 times as long. On the other hand, professional users don't have the time to fiddle with DYI upgrades and need bulletproof reliability - for them this item may not be an option. Is this item suitable for enthusiast use? If money matters to you, absolutely. Can only recommend it.

The diffuser is back in but the rubber ring gasket is gone....

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2013

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Previously it was mentioned that the internal diffuser is gone but I received two units last night and both had the clip-in internal transluscent piece plus the one that covers the entire opening. However the rubber gasket that others have said covers the ring that the unit mounts on is no longer there. I suppose with a lot of hard use the ring might work its way throught the material but the material is quite tough. Plus isn't that what black duct tape is for? Actually you could put a few pieces in the groove where you can't see it to protect the fabric before there is any trouble. I'm not woried about it. The springy-ness (a word?) will help protect the flash unless it goes over right on its back. These are going to be used for location shoots and will probably get knocked over a few times but should hold up. The flash mounting bracket isn't bad and does have plastic handles but I also plan on permanently mounting flashes on these so they won't get tightened that often. They do collapse eaisly down to a 10" circle and zip into a little round bag quite quickly if you want to store them. As it has been said before, good bang for the buck. As far as results I see no hot spots in the images. Also if you have a zoom flash just back it out to 25mm and the light is spread out better. These are made better than I expected and aren't huge. If these get trashed I would probably get the same thing again. I am mounting a Yongnuo YN-560 II Speedlight in these with no issues.

Man bekommt mehr als man erwartet ...

Reviewed in Germany on March 30, 2014

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Ein Softbox für unter 40€, die in etwa dem vielbesprochenen bereits sehr preiswerten Jinbei-Modell entspricht, kann die etwas taugen? Der erste Eindruck ist, was man erwartet: Billigkunststoff mit starkem Eigengeruch und dünnes Blech am Ring des Blitzhalters. ABER: der Rest des Blitzhalters ist aus recht massivem Metall, insgesamt durchaus stabil und lässt sich ganz gut bedienen. Ebenso der Spannrahmen der Softbox und die Feststellschrauben mit den üblichen Kunststoffköpfen. Lediglich der Bltzschuh und die Schiene des Ringhaltes sind durch die sehr scharfen Kanten der Profile nicht ganz so leichtgängig verschiebbar. Hier schafft WD40 Abhilfe. Die Befestigung der Softbox am Ring erfolgt alleine durch Einklemmen des Rings in den hinteren Teil des Spannrahmens. Die Positionierung ist dadurch nicht exakt hinzubekommen, was man aber bei dieser Art Softbox auch nicht erwarten kann. Das Packmaß ist ordentlich, die Softbox lässt sich gut zusammenlegen, und sie passt mit allen Teilen in jeden Rucksack.

Die Softbox wurde mit einem zusätzlichen Innendiffusor geliefert, was nicht in der Produktbeschreibung enthalten und wohl auch nicht immer so ist, wenn man den Rezensionen beim Amazon US glauben kann. Er wird mit Häkchen in Schlaufen innerhalb der Softbox eingespannt. Eine weitere Abweichung von der Produktbeschreibung ist, dass der Halter mit einem Kugelkopf statt mit einem Kippgelenk ausgeliefert wurde, evtl. auch eine Lot-abhängige Angelegenheit. Durch die massive Ausführung des Kugelkopfes ist (mit ein bisschen WD40) ein angenehmes Arbeiten möglich.

Ein Nachteil der Konstruktion ist die Anbringung der Feststellschraube des Ringhalters. Diese verhindert, dass der Blitz auch ohne Fernauslöser in die vorderste mögliche Position der Schiene geschoben werden kann. Quasi gar nicht möglich ist die Verwendung der vielbenutzten Yongnuo RF602/3 in der richtigen Positionierung, da dann der Blitzkopf nicht in die Softbox reicht. Einzige Lösung: der Blitz wird nach hinten geklappt und mit dem Display zur Softbox zeigend angebracht. Dadurch zeigt dann auch der Fernauslöser von der Softbox weg und die Positionierung des Blitzes ist ordentlich. Nachteil: die Bedienung des Blitzes ist schwieriger, weil das Display nicht gut zu sehen ist. Bei manuellem entfesselten Blitzen, insbesondere bei sehr hoher Positionierung der Softbox, stellt man aber sowieso nicht so viel am Blitz herum, sodass das verschmerzbar ist. Eine Einstellung auf 90 Grad ist nicht möglich, weil dann der Blitzkopf nicht mittig im Ring steht.

Beim Fotografieren bekommt man im Wesentlichen, was man bei diesen Modellen erwartet: eine etwas größere Lichtquelle und ein bisschen Diffusion. Durch den Innendiffusor mehr als zu erwarten war. Ein zusätzlicher Stofen (Joghurtbecher) verbessert das Ergebnis auch noch einmal.

Fazit: für den geringen Preis kriegt man eine mehr als ordentliche Leistung, insb. wenn man eine Softbox für unterwegs sucht. Man darf aber auch keine Wunderdinge erwarten.

Value for the money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 8, 2014

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Everything you need to mount this softbox to a light stand is included in the kit, it's even supplied with 2 bags for storage- one for the folded up softbox, and a quality outer bag that holds everything together in a single place, so you can grab and go when you need it.

The softbox is well constructed, sewing is good and strong and folds into a very small package. Be careful when you unfold it as a tight hold is required, it opens with some force and if not held firmly will launch across the room and could cause costly damage. My version had both internal and external diffusers, the inner hooks onto elasticated eyes, bit tricky the first time you try to connect it, but with practice I have worked out how to do this effectively, The outer diffuser velcros in place, and you can also attach grids etc to this, again using velcro. To learn how to fold it search "fold softbox" on YouTube.

The L bracket supplied is OK, there are careful adjustments needed to align the flash head. The main issue I have is the limited down angle you can achieve, although it has a ball head the ring rail hits the light stand, the only way to fix this is to cut to shorten the rail length, but then I thought if I change flash in the future would this be long enough to centre the flash into the softbox. The solution I decided on was to purchase a godox s type speedlite bracket, problem solved. You could also buy a tilt head.

But at this price if you are looking to move into flash photography, you are on a budget and don't need to have a great downward tilt then this is highly recommended. It provides a lovely soft light and shadows that are perfect for my needs. I don't own the version made by a well known company in this field but I would be very suprised if it really is worth the x5 asking price.

Funktion Top

Reviewed in Germany on October 23, 2015

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Dies hier ist meine erste Rezension und auch meine erste Softbox. Ich habe mich bewusst für die günstige Variante entschieden um zu schauen, ob es hält was es verspricht.

Somit habe ich gleich bestellt und nach 2 Tagen kam auch schon die Softbox. Natürlich habe ich sie erstmal ausgepackt und direkt getestet. Beim auspacken gab es die erste minimale Ernüchterung - es liegt keine Anleitung zum auf- oder abbauen der Softbox bei - Der Aufbau ging trotzdem problemlos. Mit dem Yongnuo RF603 Funkauslöser kann man den Blitz nicht 100%ig gerade in die Sofabox stellen, aber so das sie volle Funktion hat.

Das einzige was mich stört, ist dass es keine Anleitung für den Abbau gibt, denn der gestaltet sich schwieriger als ich es mir vorgestellt hatte. Daher gibt es von mir 1 Stern Abzug. Ansonsten Top!

Neewer 60cm by 60cm foldable softbox

Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2012

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

This review is for the Neewer 60cm by 60cm foldablke softbox for speeeedlite purchased from Eshopic. This softbox has a very good build quality and seems very sturdy, a known weakspot on similar products is where the bracket mounts to the fabric softbox may lead to tearing to the fabric due to metal edges putting pressure on the fabric eventually causing tearing, this product is the exception and has countered this problem by lining the bracked with rubber to prevent any damage from regular use. One doubt i had about this product and similar is that the ballhead was known to not hold the weight of the softbox, it is not the case with this softbox as it is now shipped with an upgraded bracket which is not made from a ballhead but rather a sturdy clamp so please disregard the old reviews mentioning a weak ballhead, the clamp has no problems holding up the softbox, this came in a very small package with a carrying case, also this product comes with 2 diffusers, one for the outside and a second diffuser to be put into the softbox to make even softer light at the expense of a little more light loss, which is a bonus considering no other cheap softboxes (cowboy studio)come with the second baffle. This softbox creates very nice soft light (as all softboxes do) and has no hotspots whatsoever. alot of reviewers complain about not being able to fold this into it's original circular shape(about 9 inches) but i have had no problems folding this, folding this back into shape is not common sense and must be carefully learned, you must hold it in it's triangular shape with the shortest part on the bottom and holding the left bottom corner and the right side halfway and twisting untill a circle shape is acheived, there are no instructions for this but there is a very good video tutorial explaining exactly how to do this on the gadgetinfinity.com website under product info of their brand of similar foldable softbox, I would recommend this to anyone who is in the market for a softbox, the price and quality can't be beat, the Lastolite verion of this sells for about $300 and i can't imagine it being any better than this as all softboxes cheap or expensive produce pretty much the same quality of light, This product has my full recommendation and i will be purchasing at least one more of these. if i have any problems with this product in the future i will update this review, if there are no updates then all is good.

Excellent Value - Quality product but one criticism

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 24, 2013

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I have given this 5 stars because I think it is an excellent product and at the price, also excellent value. The softbox itself is easy to prepare for use and the flash ring fits easily and firmly. It comes with what seems to be a very good quality ball and socket head and flash bracket which after some twiddling with the position of the screw in knobs, fits easily.

The softbox comes in a small bag and is compressed into a small circular shape which pops out and opens up to a flat triangle which you can easily open out into the full softbox. Once this is done, the product stays firmly in shape and appears to be quite strong. There is a white internal baffle provided which can be fitted via provided eyelets to four small material loops already fitted to the four corners of the softbox. The white front sheet fits on with pre-fitted Velcro on all four sides and takes only a few seconds. There is a black storage bag for the attachments (and possibly softbox but see comments below).

It produces a nice quality soft light, which is what I wanted.

My only criticism is one that I would also make for all similar products, probably even the much more expensive overpriced ones. These items are always shown being easily folded back into their very small squashed up shape and into a small round bag, which will no doubt burst from the pressure. They never come with specific instructions and if you feel all around the internal spines to find where you can bend them, it feels like solid metal or plastic. When pushing inwards, bending or twisting in any direction there seems to be great resistance and you feel reluctant to apply any further force. My first experience with a reflector (not this brand) resulted in it snapping in two.

Fortunately, this one is quite small enough to carry or store when in its' flat state so I will leave like this and not risk breaking it. Manufacturers should provide instructions on how to do this and assure us that it will never just snap
