REALLY handy modifier. I do corporate/commercial videos and this is part of my interview kit. I try to get in and out with one cart, setup fast with no assistants and deliver really pretty footage. This is extremely quick to setup, great with LED lights, and a good value. The fabric grid is legit, stitched fabric vs. those weak ribbon types that start coming apart pretty quickly. Sometimes it's hard to get one of the arms to click into place but eventually they pop in - seems like something's off in the assembly and it's not the most heavy-duty thing you've ever used, but one of those "if it lasts a year it's worth it" things. The diffusion face fabric is just barely big enough and not perfectly sized, but again, this wasn't crazy expensive and you can pack several of them in minimal space. The storage bag is pretty robust and the thing actually fits in it quickly, not a throw-away like many of the cases that come with gear these days. The Bowens mount is good and not oversized like some after-market gear, it pops right into my lights. No idea if this would take the heat of strobe pops from pack & head systems, but for LED spots it's just fine and I get no heat issues.I use this for hair/cheekbones and giving more depth and dimension to faces; I tend to use metal grids for men and this comes out more for the ladies, but lots of versatility - you have a few looks available depending on if you use the grid, the fabric, one or the other or neither. Would be nice for tabletop product as well. Overall a well designed modifier that's really quick to use and punches well above its price.

I love it! The price is good and it diffuses the light perfectly. A game changer for my videos and pictures. I have bought many things from this company and have been really impressed and this is no different. 5 stars!

Costa poco, è resistente e funziona alla grande! Usato anche per scopi professionali posso dire che è migliore anche del godox che ho in studio! Ne ho ordinato subito un altro, diffonde la luce in maniera perfetta e morbida, consigliatissimo!

Does what it should do and the assembly is quick and easy. It"s a 30cm softbox so I don't get that exited.

Very well made Micro Soft Box. I own much more expensive soft boxes and this one is right up there with the quality and functions. Simple to put together and just a couple of clicks to break down. Well worth the Money.

This is a "cute" softbox that can be very useful in the studio for portrait, photography, or in your vlogging desk and definitely for streaming for those all of you out there that are influencers. It produces an output that is very diffused, thanks to it do a layer diffuser screens and if you want a more focused lighting, you can use the grid diffuser, that's also provided with the kit. It comes with a carrying case and it's foldable that it will fit in that carrying case, including the adapter for the Bowen mount. It's so small to carry when folded that will definitely enable you to take it around on your photo sessions outdoors, and still give you studio lighting, quality diffusion. The build quality is very solid and every time you open it up and close it up you can actually feel and hear how dirty it is. The set up is so easy as you only have to unlock or lock one pin to make it stay in place put it in the mount and you're good to go! Will accommodate different size speedlites and video lights/lamps. Just a word of caution though, I wouldn't recommend using it with lights that produces high heat like those halogen ones but instead, I would use LED light sources for this one since it's a little small. just a little tip also when it comes to video lighting, if you have a low output light, you can actually remove the inner diffuser to give you more lighting intensity, particularly when you're using warm light temperature.I can't think of anything bad to comment about with this particular soft box as it is so functional.Having tested this size soft box with this brand, I will definitely buy the other sizes that they carry. I am going to highly recommend this to anyone that are just starting out and even to the professional ones as this will last you a long time due to its build quality, ease of use and portability!

The Ambitful 15.7” softbox shines, play on words intended, in several ways. First off, this appears to be a well-engineered and constructed light modifier that is priced attractively. Second, the combination of a very clever mechanism for quick setup and collapsing, along with the portability that it offers when collapsed and in its carrying bag, makes the Ambitful FS-40 the first light modifier I now want to grab as I go out the door with my lighting gear. Third, this thing comes ready to mount on any of my Bowens mount equipment. Still another reason to grab it. Well, OK… if that wasn’t enough, when you open this puppy up, about a five-second step, for me anyway, there’s no extra time spent attaching diffusers. Oh, and then there’s the grid. Yes, it even comes with a grid which is easily attached with hook-and-loop fasteners around the octagonal perimeter of the FS-40.So, do I now count on this cool little modifier for every shoot? Well, of course not. Yes, the light quality through the diffusion is plenty good. And yes, it’s going to be with me most all the time. But a softbox this size is still limited by, well, its size. In most situations, it is not going to take the place of larger light sources if I’m looking for soft light. I say in most cases because the old principle goes that the larger the light is relative to the subject, the softer the light. So, if the FS-40 is used to illuminate a small subject, say like an object on a tabletop, and the light is placed quite close, then soft light is possible. For portraiture, however, I’m digging the FS-40 as a source that is somewhere between my hard and soft light sources. There are times when I want hard light and other times when I want soft light, depending on the subject and the story I’m trying to tell. The FS-40 fills a niche right between the two when placed close to the subject and is a great tool for a hair light or backlight.All that is just to say the Ambitful FS-40 has proven to be a valuable tool, one that is always close by whether shooting at home or in the studio.
