Poor Mans Softbox Complete!

[Davor]

Well after a good 2 days, me and my girlfriend finally finished the softbox. Ignore the straps on the fabric as that is temporary.


The 4 sides are from harder Styrofoam, held together by painters tape and aluminum brackets every 4-5 inches. The fabric is made from 2 old white t-shirts that where stitched by my gf. The bracket that connects to my old tripod is made completely out of scratch, a few parts bought at home depot but mostly creativity

Haven't used it yet since its getting late so ill post some results tomorrow, in the main time enjoy the photos.

put away your sewing machine before you trip over it!!!!....lol. I have a folding softbox project i'm working on at the moment. Unfortunately, my wifes sewing machine somehow didn't end up here after the move. Not that I could use it anyway, but I was going to try!

Yeah definatly fun to work on, since this is my first one its not the most efficient but i plan on making a second improved version with tilt and folding capabilities! Thanks for the idea

I'll give ya another one....for the frame, i used tent poles. You can pick up a tent pole repair kit at walmart that has poles, just need something to stick them into, i'll let ya figure that one out by yourself!
