hotshoe softbox

[kfirg]

i want to buy this softbox for outdoor photography.

24" 60cm Portable Foldable Hot Shoe Softbox Soft Box Tent for Flash Speedlite | eBay

i think this hotshoe softbox is more comfortable to use than a normal softbox and umbrella.

60x60 is good enough for outdoors ?

what are you saying about this softbox - any recommendations ?

p.s

i have a 70x70 reflective softbox but i perfer the hotshoe one for outdoors.

thanks.

I have a very similar one, maybe even the exact one. I like it. Haven't used outside yet, but as long as there isn't crazy wind it should be just fine on a sturdy light stand.

ok thank you!

what do you prefer 60x60 or 80x80 for outdoors.

I have and use a couple of these as well.

On your question about size, the bigger the modifier, the more versatile it'll be. You can always make the relative size smaller by moving it away from your subject, but you can never make it bigger than it is when you've already got it as close to your subject as you can get.
