This softbox package includes two diffusers and a honeycomb grid to reduce spill. You can use any combination of these modifiers since they are all attached independently using strong velcro. However, using all three simultaneously dramatically reduces the amount of light, and it may no longer be strong enough to be a key light in certain situations.To set up the softbox, I recommend placing it on the floor and pushing down until the ribs lock into place. If you do it by hand (one at a time, as instructed), it requires a good bit of strength. Also, it is not a really quick release. It takes effort to take the pressure off of each of the clips.If you want a softbox that is easy to transport, or you don’t have enough space in your studio for a larger modifier, this softbox is a good deal, considering how well-made it is.*UPDATE: I've now used this softbox on many shoots and bigger is definitely better. Although this is a well-made product (highest quality build), it simply isn't big enough to cast a soft, cinematic light. I would love to try some of Neewer's larger softboxes as I'm sure they would be fantastic based on how this one performs. The 65mm one, however, is only going to be a safety in my gig bag.

This is an exceptional little unit. Easy to set up, lightweight and easy to pack around. At the right size to be easily and well applied to just about any Portrait situation. Really happy with it. I’d certainly recommend it, especially if you can get it when they’re having a deal.

Work like a charm. Perfect size for my project. Fit perfect with my new Amaran video light. I hope it'll last for a long time like a brand-name one.

Se ve de buena calidad, viene en un bolsito protector con el cual puedo transportarlo con facilidad, se ve fino, es de un buen tamaño, no muy grande, pero sí de un tamaño funcional. Cumplió mis expectativas.

I was surprised at how good the grid modifier is at stopping the light from spilling.

The Neewer softbox is a professional quality light modifier with the standard Bowens mount. In all, you get the softbox plus 2 white diffusers, a black honeycomb grid, and a storage bag.It works best if you extend the 12 ribs of the umbrella before placing the Bowens mount. It’s really easy to open the umbrella, just place the Bowens mount on the ground then push out all the ribs until they snap in place. Then mount the Bowens to your light.All the diffusers and grids are easy to assemble with Velcro attachments which have a nice super strong stickiness. The inner diffuser has 6 matching Velcro points halfway up the ribs. The larger diffuser has Velcro all the way around and attaches to the outer edge of the umbrella. Same for the black grid that has Velcro all the way around.To put this away, take the diffusers and grid off the umbrella. Dismount the umbrella from the Bowens. Then flip the umbrella with the Bowens UP and slide each of the levers to release the ribs. I had to use a nearby wrench that had a rubberized handle to push the levers, some of which were tight. I used the rubber handle as a bar that I pushed on the levers and it worked like a charm. Once the ribs are all released and loose, the umbrella can then be folded back up.The light diffusion is excellent and the quality of the ribs is very professional and tightly stretched. The grid does the job of keeping the light from spilling too wide.The Neewer softbox is a professional looking light modifier that is constructed of quality materials and is easy to set up. Great value for the price.

I recently picked up the NEEWER 65 cm (25.6 inches) Bowens Mount Parabolic Softbox, and I couldn’t be happier! The size is perfect for headshots — it provides just the right balance of soft, even lighting without being too bulky. The parabolic shape gives a beautiful, flattering light falloff, which makes skin tones look amazing and adds a subtle pop to my portraits.The standout feature for me is the quick release system. It makes setting up and breaking down the softbox incredibly fast and effortless. Compared to other softboxes I’ve used, like the Godox ones, this quick release design from NEEWER is much smoother and more convenient. When time is critical during shoots, this feature is a lifesaver.The build quality is solid, and the Bowens mount fits securely with my lights. It’s lightweight, durable, and easy to transport. For photographers who need a reliable, efficient, and high-quality softbox for headshots, this one is an absolute winner. Highly recommended!

Softbox bello e facile da montare. Questo modello però ha una ghiera verniciata e al primo utilizzo si è fusa per il calore. Uso flash Esprit monitorcia professionali. Ho contattato l assistenza, mi hanno prontamente rimborsato e spedito un altro identico. Non ho quindi risolto però almeno sono stati veloci nella risposta

Easy to assemble and disassemble and small enough to pack in with my lighting gear in my checked baggage. Build quality seems good. Great value for money.

I bought this to add to my in-home filming set up, and I have to say, it's a great product. Quality is great (as expected from NEEWER). I have tried some set ups with both the honeycomb insert and without, and I have to say, my preference is without. It gives less of a harsh, directional light and more of a softer look which is what I was going for.Great product and super compact if you need to travel with it anywhere.

This NEEWER 25.6" Parabolic Softbox is a nice modifier for my Godox Bowen's mount lights. Attaches easily and securely to my S2 speedlite bracket.The softbox itself was easy to set up once I got the hang of it. Very quick and very little force needed. Taking it down was more challenging but seems to be getting easier as I do it more often. Not as quick as set up but still pretty fast.I had to redo attaching the top diffuser layer in order to make room for the grid. I tried attaching it too high and needed to lower it a bit. Otherwise the diffusers and grid are easy to attach.The whole feels sturdy enough yet very lightweight. I'm sure it won't hold up as well as softboxes that go for a few times what this one does but it feels nice enough to last with the way I will use it. Which isn't as frequently as some might. The quality/cost ratio is very good in my opinion, definitely a good value.The light is nice with or without the grid, depending on what I need. The lightness means it's easy to take on location. I wouldn't use it on a very windy day but then again, I probably wouldn't be doing a portrait session if it were windy enough to worry about it.
