VERY impressed!

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012

I just got back from my first shoot with the Apollo 28" soft box and i must say I am very impressed with its performance outside, this thing provides BEAUTIFUL soft light! I love it over all my umbrellas. I also own the ORB and this box is built much better. It has double ribs and thicker steel rods than the ORB. I built a DIY bracket and now can fire my dual 580 EXII's with Pocket Wizards for a killer wireless soft box capable of HSS. I will probably keep the ORB for in-studio work and use the 28" apollo for my on-location stuff. Feathering the light is very easy because of the recessed design and setup is a snap. A lot of folks cry about not being able to tilt the unit much, to me it's only a minor flaw, I prefer to have the stand feed trough the front as it allows better tilt and super quick removal to shoot in bare flash mode and if I need to tilt more I can simply buy an L bracket. This definitely gets my recommendation for you to try, I will be bringing this softbox with me on every future shoot.

Great results

Initial Impressions:
Just got this recently and the first impression is that it is in fact, decently built. It has an umbrella frame with each corner having a pair of 'rods', so it feels sturdy. The zippers and stitching feel solid, but only time will tell, as mine has only been used a few times thus far.

Other reviewers stated it's cheap, but you do get what you pay for. Coming in around a hundred bucks, this would be considered a mid-grade soft-box for the size, so I aware of this going in. It doesn't feel cheap, but I know it's not the premium model, at a premium price.I found it to be of good value.

Overall:
It works great, feels sturdy, sets up quickly, and most of all, the quality of light it produces is spectacular. After the results of the very first test shots, I'm 100% happy purchasing this.

Regarding Tilting:
You'll definitely need other modifiers in addition to a simple light stand if you need the freedom for full tilt, otherwise, expect a standard range be around +/- 20 degrees, depending on how you choke it.

Worst portable softbox you can buy

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm a working pro. I photograph 50+ weddings a year. I have the newer version of this with the fiberglass rods. This does not hold up to a real working photographer's usage. The 4 corner outside points are made of cheap thin metal that actually tear!. The fiberglass rods tear through them like paper after a few uses. The softbox opens like an umbrella, but if you accidentally open it too far, it gets stuck, and you can't close it. Totally over priced. Total garbage. Westcott you should be ashamed of yourself for selling this. The "rockstar" photographers who recommend this on their you tube channels are clearly too busy marketing themselves and their teaching workshops to realize this isn't worth 5 dollars.

Great light.. substandard materials

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought the Westcott Apollo 28" for my Nikon SB800 Manfrotto on location kit, I already own a small Photoflex box which I found very difficult to open and close, and a bit to small, so this product seemed great - I love the umbrella style and the size is perfect, the recessed front gives great light control. I live in The Philippines, so all in all the box became quite costly considering shipping and local duties, however I was impressed by the style and was willing to spend to get a great flexible location set up... shipping from Adorama was fantastic - 3 days from order to home.

Unboxing the unit was my first disappointment - no cover - if you buy a $5 normal umbrella to guard against the rain, it comes with a cover, and considering this one is $120... that soon became the smallest issue.. I used the Westcott 28" only once, during the shoot the Manfrotto light stand tipped over and the box landed in the soft grass, the umbrella structure collapsed and broke, I was totally amazed that the product was made of such substandard materials that one single small fall would break it - I don't understand why a company would use materials, I know manufacturing, and an umbrella like this could not cost more than $20 to make - an added $5 in cost would have secures Westcott a great reputation and more customers to come..unfortunately, my recommendation is DON'T BUY until the manufacturer has fixed the engineering.

Kind regards
Lars

Tolle Softbox

Reviewed in Germany on March 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

Ist eine super Kombi zwischen Schirm und Softbox. Beides funktioniert super gut und liefert tolles Licht. Dazu ist die Box super schnell aufgebaut und sehr leicht in der Handhabung. Man kann die Box nur in einem geringen Winkel abneigen (eben das was der Reißverschluss an Spiel lässt). In der Praxis aber überhaupt kein Problem. Beim klassischen Beauty Setup frontal von oben nach unten reicht der Winkel nicht. Aber hier würde ich auch eine andere Box verwenden. Zusammengefaltet hat man die Größe eines Regenschirms ohne Griff. Das nimmt auch noch Platz weg und ist gegenüber Faltsystemen kein Vorteil. Die Box scheint sehr wertig verarbeitet und hat ein absolut ausgewogenes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Absolut empfehlenswert .

Perfekte Softbox für die Verwendung mit Systemblitzen

Reviewed in Germany on December 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

Die Softbox wird wie ein Schirm aufgespannt und kann auch auf einem Schirmneiger montiert werden. Mit einem Systemblitz (bei mir Nikon SB900) entsteht ein wunderschönes ganz sanftes Licht. Welches sehr schön begrenzt das Objekt beleuchtet.
Für den Fall, dass man etwas stärker ausleuchten möchte einfach die Blitzstreuscheibe des Blitzes herunterklappen.
Und braucht man mal etwas härteres Licht und hat keinen silbernen Schirm dabei, wird einfach der Stoffeinsatz (per Klett befestigt) herausgetrennt.
Bisher auch sehr robust und gut transportierbar.
