High quality light box that folds almost flat. Very lightweight and easy to set up. I use it with a Neewer CB200C and have been more than happy with it. My favorite part is that it is not quite as deep as a lot of its competitors which allows me to tuck it away into a corner much easier.

I'm using this diffuser with my DigitalFoto light and have been really happy with the soft lighting it gives for portrait use. It's built really well, the ribs feel sturdy, it's easy to expand and collapse and the exterior materials are durable and look nice too. It attached to my bowens mount without issue and really gives a pleasing look to the light, it's been great for portraits and even product shoots with the brightness elevated. It's quick to set up and the included carrying case, which is really nice and a quality piece on it's own, make it easy to transport. It's very lightweight as well. I have zero complaints with it; it does exactly what it's supposed to do, there's no light leaking and it's very well built. Definitely a winner.

I’m new to this brand and worry about quality vs price with photography equipment, but this 3ft softbox is a total win. First it comes with an inner diffuser, grid, and soft case. Second it is the fastest and easiest mechanism I’ve used to open a softbox. You pull that blue up and it locks into place. It takes two fingers to release which is easy and pinch free. Third, the weakest part of any softbox is where the ribs meet the front of the box. These are reinforced and I have full confidence this design will last. It’s also the perfect size for outdoor and on the go shooting. I got great results and love it. Highly recommend!

This octabox from Amaran is super high quality and easy to use. It comes with a carrying case which protects it during transport and storage. The light quality is superb and includes a grid for more directional light. The bowens mount gives you a universal mounting system to work with any bowens mount head. I really like the quick release function.

The Amaran Octa Dome 90 is a large yet easy to setup light modifier. The Dome 90 comes in a flat pouch that can store the octa dome nicely when folded down. Being that this is a larger modifier at 90cm it can be a little challenging to setup however Amaran's quick release setup makes setting up as easy as folding over the blue handle and snapping it in place. Instead of individually snapping open each of the 8 ribs of the octa box unfolding the blue plastic handle snaps the all into place at once which is so genius and so easy. Collapsing the modifier is as easy as squeezing in the two metal tabs at the plastic handle and it pops down folding flat. From there you just wrap the velcro strap around compressing the entire thing and slide it into the bag.I love the simplicity of the quick release system that Amaran has implemented with this octa dome and because I have been spoiled with the ease of use I am constantly wishing that my other light modifiers had something similar. I think this is a great investment at under $100. The quality is nice, the setup is quick, and the modifier is big.

I like this reflector, and the fact that it folds a little flatter than others is useful, particularly when getting it in a roller bag with some light stands. It's a complete kit with diffusers and grid.Look at the directions in the pictures above before you expand the reflector the first time. Mine didn't come with directions, so I had a little trouble opening it. You need to grab the blue handle and pull on it to open the reflector easily. Closing it wasn't a problem. There are two metal nubs that you pinch toward each other, and that releases the lock holding it open.Sturdy construction, and it's convenient that it folds relatively flat. Takes up a lot less bulk in my lighting bag than is typical of other reflectors. I'd definitely recommend it.

Review for: "Amaran Octa Dome 90, 3ft (90cm) Foldable Quick-Setup Octagonal Bowens Mount Softbox for Portraits, Interviews, and On-Location Photography, with Diffusion, Light Control Grid, & Carrying Bag "Build quality is very good, typical product quality from Amaram. I have several LED light from Amaran and they are very good.It comes with a nice carrying bag that is almost flat (not rounded as most of Dome), and also Light control Grid and diffusion cloth. It has the industry standard Bowen mount.The easy to setup is a game changer. Only press the clamp and it is ready to go.For the asking price of $99.00, it is bit expensive, but for the quality and easy deployment I think it is well worth it

I have multiple soft boxes in my studio, and even a 3-ft one similar to this one which I carry in my car to various events such as baptisms and weddings. But my old one takes a while to assemble the individual parts and this Amaran Dome is a life saver. Hands down the best Octagonal Soft Box I want to use for any event outside my studio. Just press and click into place. The soft box is advertised as 3ft and I want to offer some clarification on that. The distance between opposing parallel sides of the octagon is 32 inches, not 36inches (3ft). However, the distance between the outside of 2 opposing corners is 36inches (3ft) though. And a last note - if you're struggling with creativity, the included honeycomb grid can achieve amazing results.
