Big diffuser thing for giving a soft even light all over one plane of your subject:cumi said:I always wanted to ask, what soft box is?

Normally balanced with a smaller fill light to avoid shadows.
You can get similar things for flash guns, called flash diffusers:

However, for space/portability, brollies do the same trick as a softbox (nearly) and are lighter and give a bigger light source than a mini-flash diffuser.
