Feedback on Fotodiox 60" Octabox?

[MichaelHenson]

Found this on the ole Amazons for $60...seems like a good deal for something that should be pretty straightforward? Maybe?

Any feedback/experience?

No one has any feedback?

Maybe I should get it and do a review, huh? Maybe then I could justify it to my wife...

I have two Fotodiox softboxes, one being the 36" EZ-Pro octagon and the other being the 20" version. I haven't got to use the 20" yet, it was an Xmas present.

But I can tell you it works fine and as expected. Came with both the inner and outer diffuser. I really like the ease of setup with the EZ-Pro models. They open like an umbrella in seconds. No rods or poles to assemble.

Good to hear...I might snag one of those with the universal speed ring. Thanks!

I have one. I've had it for years. The EZ box is easier to set up but I haven't had any is used with it.

Yeah, the EZ version is nearly twice as much...I'm cheap and don't mind setting stuff up...I might snag a cheapie to start off with....

It doesn't take long. Takes me like 5 minutes once you get used to it. I need to get a grid for it
