NEEWER 26''/65cm Octagonal Softbox Quick Release, with Bowens Mount, Carrying Bag Compatible with Neewer CB60 CB100 CB150 Vision 4 S101-300W/400W and Other Bowens Mount Light -SF-RPBO26

This is a good, small sized and therefore very portable soft-box with Bowens mount. I use it with an LED lamp, but it would work equally well with studio flash. It seems a bit fiddly when first assembling it as the click-in slots are quite stiff both in opening up and closing down again. However, once you get the hang of it, it works very well and is highly effective in use, with its inner and outer diffraction scrims. In general, you get what you pay for, but I have to say that Neewer products are getting better and good and continue to provide good value, so while this might not be the best on the market, it does not fall too short of the mark overall. Recommended.

I have to say I don't normally bother with reviews but can't keep my mouth shut about this product. This is the simplest and easiest soft box to use I have ever owned. If you can't put it up and down in under a minute you should not be let near anything bigger than a cocktail umbrella. Despite other reviews it's so easy to do. Despite other reviews it's not massive, it's the size it says it is. I don't know what other people expect for £33 but this is the best softbox I own(and I have a few!!!!)Oh and it give a great light spread and the diffusers are very easy to fit and it can be folded up with them still in place. What more could you ask for. Thank you Neewer and keep up the good work, 2 more on order.

When I compare this to a similar build of the Phot-R series, I find this is much lighter and easier to put together. This particular model features the same type of 'clickers' that are on the model I purchased for when I am shooting using my TT685s and not with my AD200. This has made it easier to me to setup and put away especially as I work primarily on location, and when it's freezing cold, it is good to have this sort of modifier that folds up easily and is zero fuss to carry.

Perfect blend between portability, good looks and function. Light weight and sturdy, for the price I could not ask for more, absolutely fantastic.

Really good product. Easy to open and close. Good light from it. Really good value for money

I saw a video of this being used & the images being produced were beautiful & noticed how soft the light was considering how small this modifier is . I've used it a few times now & was blown away how good it was . I dont like to travel with huge big soft boxes as it is not practical in my run & gun type of model photography I do so the fact it comes in its own small bag & is so so lightweight is perfect . its easy to use & only takes 30 seconds to pull out & mount on a S-type bracket . i have used my godox ad200 as the light source & this seems a perfect combination with this modifier .

It's not that cheap when you take quality into account. You would be better off spending anothe £10.00 or £20.00 and get proper professional quality products.

After looking at a bunch of softboxes, you start going softbox-blind. All the other Neewers I looked at came with a grid. When I eventually opted for this 65cm one, I didn't notice that it didn't have one. I'd rather have paid a few quid more and got the grid too and it seems a bit churlish to leave it off this particular model. But the item itself looks good.
