Easy to store. Easy-ish to assemble. Exactly what I expected based on design and function. I’m happy with these strip boxes. If you’re looking for budget hair lights, they’re a great beginner’s kit.

It was tough to admit that I needed to get the smaller version of the strip boxes, but reading reviews taught me that they’re annoying to disassemble. With that in mind, I decided to keep them assembled, but also fit them in a storage spot reasonably, which meant that 48” was too long for my closet shelf. This has been working out for storage, and I think 35” in decent enough for most hobbyists anyways.Since my other soft boxes top out at 24”, the 35” strip boxes have come in handy as a key light when I need to wrap and feather light across a larger area. I think people underestimate how useful these can be in horizontal orientation, especially in a home studio with limited ceiling height. These can let you get the wide spread in one direction, whilst also angling downward from higher up before smacking your ceiling. You can stack two of them (probably with a boom) and create an 18x35” soft box if necessary. So yeah, these are for more than just rim lighting.As vertical strips, they’re juuuuust tall enough, I’d say.My few knocks on them are:- build quality is maybe a B or B+ at best. Not terrible, but these aren’t going to take a professional level beating and last.-they’re only marginally cheaper than the 48”. I can only see someone needing these if space is an issue, or for portability-set up is annoying, as others have said. It’s like a setting up a frustrating tent. Even when you have it figured out, I don’t think it’s worth the effort to break them down between shoots. They’re lightweight. Give them their own shelf.

I really like the Softbox. It will be a great asset to my studio shoot.Pros: Lighting is awesome! Looks great! I said in an earlier review that it was missing the Honeycomb, but I was wrong. It fell out and was amongst my other photo gear. Gave 4 stars instead of 3.Cons: Not easy to pull apart once I put it together. Not as portable as I would like it to be, but not a problem.

I started doing "still life" type shoots more seriously a few months back, and while I have several small round and square soft boxes, I decided that I needed a small rectangular strip box, so picked out and ordered this one. I have always liked Godox, so felt comfortable ordering this one, and I am quite pleased with it and it's construction.Assembling this soft box was the usual hassle, but there are only 4 spring wire rods to deal with in this one, so considerably less hassle. I found that using a Golf Tee to open the rod pockets in the 4 corners saved a lot of the usual trouble. The pockets are always flat and stiff when new. These golf tees made it easy I used them again to open the loops half way down the rods that keep the rods from bowing. The Bowens center hub is kind-of universal, so it has rod holes for many different soft box patterns. Finding the right 4 to use with this soft box took a bit of experimenting, but I'm getting better at this. Putting the 1/2 way diffuser in was also similar to assembly of the diffusers in other soft boxes, but fortunately there only 4 hooks to snap onto the elastic loops in this soft box. I haven't used it yet, but just to be certain that the Bowens mount would connect to my lights the same as my other soft boxes, I did try several lights in it and they all connected to this one perfectly. Last year I had bought a similar sized soft box, but it had a wire frame that crossed too close over the hole where the lights attach, making it impossible to use with the long modeling light bulbs in my studio strobes. Maybe for an LED modeling light, but not the regular bulbs. So I had to return that one. This isn't a problem at all with this strip box. There is nothing in the way for the standard modeling lights in this strip box.

This pop-up-sorta-lookin-boy does a pretty good job diffusing the light. It’s fairly even with its 2 diffuse layers. The grid is nice and does the job. It’s a little annoying to assemble… but that’s par for the course with these and the material the outside is made of feels like it should last. If it doesn’t, I will update this. But, for now, it’s a good tool for how inexpensive it is.

Love it! I am so happy with this purchase. Yes, the first-time assembly was not smooth, but I just keep in stored now under bad and will not disassemble it. If you do choose to disassemble it after each shoot, I am sure you'll get quicker with it with each time. I love the grids that direct light, which eliminate greatly the light shining straight onto camera.

Le due strip box sono fatte veramente bene, ottimi materiali dotati anche di honeycomb e velina interna. L'attacco bowens è perfetto.Leggo nelle recensioni che c'è una certa disomogenità sul giudizio riguardo al montaggio: personalmente li trovo estremamente facili da montare ma è indubbio che le aste di tensione richiedono una certa forza per poterle inserire nelle opportune sedi, pertanto sicuramente non risulterà di agevole operazione per chi non abbia una buona forza nelle braccia. Se devo fare un appunto, sulla base in lega di alluminio sono presenti diverse scanalature per l'inserimento delle quattro asticelle e sinceramente all'inizio ho dovuto fare un po' di tentativi per comprendere quali fossero quelle da utilizzare. Andrebbe fatta maggiore chiarezza ma alla fine si risolve.

Macht was es soll, bei Produktfotografie nicht zu gebrauchen, aber bei Portrait sehr hilfreich, Achtung das Gitter ist nicht Hitzeresistent eines davon ist mir geschmolzen, aber nur durch direkte Berührung mit der Modellierlampe dies würde ich also nicht empfehlen. aber ansonsten würde ich die Boxen wiederkaufen und jedem empfehlen!
