[Foldable] Excellent build quality!

[Fabric] Shapes and softens the output from the Timpani 1 x1.

[0.485 lb] 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!

[Foldable] I did not have high expectations for this softbox, but grabbed it at the last minute only to be very impressed by the design, the quality and the ease of set up. This thing is awesome and I'll be ordering the smaller ones as well.

[0.485 lb] As good as the Top Brands

[Foldable] It works. Buy it.

[Foldable] Seems ruggedly built for the price and it fits my Astra lights. A no-brainer to tuck these away in the road kit.

[Foldable] 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]

[Foldable] For a store brand, this box is very nice. It isn't the quality level of Chimera (made in the States and still the best) but in fact, the design of this is much better than the Chimera equivalent which is too shallow to be very useful. The eggcrate that goes with it is solid enough to use regularly on set and on the whole I couldn't be happier with it especially at a very good price point.
