[4 lb] Really easy to set up and also light in weight. Good soft directional light. Great for portraits.

[4 lb] I own four of these. They work great. I have two that live in my trailer and I use on location and two I use in the studio. Nice soft light without breaking the bank. The color is good and they are light enough not to bust your stands.

[27 x 27 x 6"] This review is of the FotodioX EZ-Pro Deep Parabolic
Softbox (48, Bowens Speed Ring).

It provides a very pleasing soft light at 4 to 6 feet from the subject. Removing the outer diffusion easily allows for an increase in contrast.

The build quality is good. Careful hand placement to avoid contacting the release button while pushing down with significant force is required to open and lock it in place. Small individuals may struggle at first to open it, but if you practice opening it a few times, paying attention to your hand placement, I believe most will prefer this to forcing 16 individual rods into a speedring.

[Fabric, Nylon] Amazing soft light.

These soft boxes come with their own carry case and are easy to setup and store in my opinion.

Build quality seems very good just keep in mind that these are masssive soft boxes so carring and moving can be a hassle

[27 x 27 x 6"] Amazing value for money. Works nicely with my AlienBee strobe and produces a beautiful soft light, ideal for single person portraits. Setup is not too difficult as is the teardown.

[4 lb] Plain and simple softbox with amazing results. There is not much to this, sturdy build, opens and collapses just like an umbrella, option for single or double diffusion, even and soft results, and the price is very attractive.

Downside is the build. Although sturdy, my Westcott Octo is noticeably stronger. That said, the Westcott costs 3 times as much. Moreover, I havent had any issues with the build quality or any subsequent damage, it is still strong and in one peace.

In my opinion, you cant go wrong with this purchase, it is a solid softbox. As I do require something with more coverage, I am purchasing a 60 Octo version of this. Im loving this softbox, especially the bang for the buck!

[4 lb] I can't compare this to other options on the market since this was my first jump into a globe soft box. But I had an important shoot, a round table discussion of VERY powerful executives for a client and I needed a way to light everyone evenly with an attractive light. I bought this globe on a whim, connected it to my Came-TV 100 watt COB LED, and the light quality was AMAZING. I'd suggest that you look for an inexpensive hard case (or at least harder case than the unpadded bag this light comes packed in) because if you are anything like me, you have a lot of equipment and because of the necessary engineering techniques to make this work and fold down easily, it is very vulnerable to crush damage. I currently make sure to tell my assistants that this has to be "top of stack" in any loading, but I am looking for a harder case (which will probably be more expensive than this globe) so I don't have to worry about damage. The quality of the light is what I will be protecting, not the cost of the globe (which is strangely inexpensive). I will be buying more of these immediately. Instantly upped the quality of what I provided the client.

[Fabric, Nylon] Used this softbox for couple years now, love how light fallout. Easy to set up and use. The problem, that the lock mechanism does not lock from the first time, stitching and material hold well. The Mount ring fits well. Great modifier for Rembrandt lighting setup with a single light.

[4 lb] This thing is a monster, and it gets the job done. Glad i got this thing. Just used it on a gym shoot today. Perfect

[4 lb] I was a little hesitant about this softbox because of the really low price.  But, I can say that it is a very quality....very  easy to put together.....and works perfectly !   I highly recommend.
