[Silver] If you are one of those people who get frustrated when needed to collapse these type of 1X1 softboxes, well, this one will make you REALLY happy. It is actually a JOY to open and collapse. Time it takes to fold away: 3 seconds on the clock, AND, I'm talking about still keeping the rods and diffusers ON so next time you open, it's all there, ready to flap open and start shooting! It actually pops. I made a review of the Timpani 2. Fast forward the video to the 21:54 mark to watch how to fold it.

This softbox fits the Timpani 1 and 2 like a glove. It provides a nice soft light. This softbox comes with 1 diffuser and don't forget that the Timpani also has a diffuser, giving you two layers of diffusion with the softbox installed.

Like any softbox you buy, you need a grid to control light spill. I use grids a lot when shooting in small rooms and many other reasons.

The material is sturdy and the price is unbelievably affordable and so is the grid (sold separately).

Keep the white diffuser as clean as possible, wash your hands before touching and it will give you a very accurate color every time.


[I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

[Silver] Perfect addition to our Kinos! Easy to quickly attach/ detach and comes with a sturdy bag for travel.

[Silver] Fits my Litepanel Astra 6x 1x1 perfectly! I've tried other cheaper brands that don't fit as good, quality is not there, and price of similar name brand soft boxes deterred me from purchasing those. This is a great middle ground product and came with collapsible grid as package deal. Would highly recommend!

[Yes] As good as the Top Brands

[Yes] If you’ve put off buying this based on a dissatisfaction with the smaller version, let me assure you this is 100% better. Both the larger size and the internal baffle makes all the difference in accomplishing a truly diffused light. I used this for the first time recently, and the difference in soft, diffused light compared to the smaller one was amazing. That said, the price is ridiculously high, and the size when collapsed is something to consider; it won’t fit in most the portable cases that are available for the lights, themselves.

[Yes] Excellent build quality!

[Silver] Timpani is a great panel and this is a nice option to soften it.

[Silver] I had already bought the Space Light or Cylinder Omni Softbox of this Angler brand to put my 4 Aputure Lightstorm LS LED Panels and they were perfect, a soft light so that my backgrounds are even, especially my chromas and endless backgrounds. Now I wanted my same 4 Aputure Lightstorm LS LED Panels to have modifiers like the Aputure 120 and 300d have (soften the light, without screw filters or read and use the grid or egg box), so after so much research, I bet again on the purchase of these softboxes with your grid or egg box and I was not mistaken (I had seen the Nanlite, D-Fuse and Ikan models). They are great and fit perfectly because of their strap systems. There are no photos or videos of how these softboxes are, so it is better if you share mine. Actually they soften the light very well and using the grid, it is incredible how the light punctuates it. It is made of very good material and is portable. Assembles and disassembles in a second. Also with the purchase of this softbox, the grid comes as a gift. I would have liked Aputure not to abandon these powerful Lighstorm panels and create its own modifiers for it, but Angler is very creative and trustworthy. Now I know that the Angler Octagonals Softboxes for my Aputure 300d and 600d will be perfect.
