As a light modifier for my Canon 580EX external flash, this Neewer umbrella/softbox really works well. The surface area of the front casts a lot of soft even light on the subject, though the depth of the softbox makes it a bit awkward in the tight confines in which I frequently have to shoot (I photograph newborn babies, usually in their homes). The umbrella opens up and closes down easily so that it can be inserted into the handy travel pouch for transporting. It is easy to drop it onto the light stand through the open slit on the bottom, and attaching the white diffuser panel is a cinch since it has strips of velcro all around the edges. I leave mine just loosely tacked in place because I don't want the loud ripping sound of the velcro to disturb a sleeping baby if I have to reach inside to adjust the flash head for any reason. I'm sure this won't be the last softbox I will ever buy, but for a fledgling professional shooter, this is an easy investment to make with an immediate payback in terms of the great light it produces.

Excellent budget softbox
This is my first softbox, so I do not have much to compare this to. I do have a set of umbrellas that I use, but this lets me have a bit more control over where the light is being thrown. The diffuser adds a wonderful soft light that does some incredible things with skin tones.Set up is pretty straight forward and it opens up just like an umbrella. There is a zippered opening to get your stand through the bottom and then mount the flash on the inside.Pros:- Easy set up and take down, although there it is a bit of trick to fold the diffuser panel correctly to get it back into the carry bag with the softbox. I’m sure once you do it a few times, it will not be an issue.- Size – this thing is really large (over 4 feet diameter!) once you get it set up and you can direct a nice wall of light with this thing.- Diffuser makes a wonderful soft light.- Seems like it is well constructed for the price. I am not sure if it would survive a tumble in the wind, but I plan on mostly using this indoors.- Provides good lighting with both a speedlight and plug-in strobe.Cons:- The flash unit goes inside the umbrella. If you have a manual flash, adjustments are best dialed in before you Velcro on the diffuser panel. Having it on the inside really can’t be avoided with this style of softbox, but it’s something to be aware of before buying.- There is no articulating arm on the mount, so you will not be able to angle this unit. Your only option is straight up and down. Because it is so large, it hasn’t been a problem for me. One other reviewer suggested mounting it on a boom stand, which would be a pretty easy solution to adjust the angle.Overall, I am very happy with this softbox and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an affordable, yet quality entry to expand their flash photography gear. I have had a good experience with the Neewer brand so far. I have this softbox paired with the Neewer 250W Studio Flash and I have been very happy with the results.

This affordable flash umbrella was perfect for a recent outdoor photo shoot. It’s large but easy to handle and maneuver. Has nice zipper on bottom that allows tripod to pass thru with ease.
If there’s wind, be ready to catch it. The white diffraction cover attaches with Velcro and works fine. No major complaints.
Are there better, more precise reflective soft box style flash umbrellas? Sure, but you get what you pay for. Happy flashing
