I don't have them where I can measure but they're pretty small. My guess is 1/2 to 3/4 in.

They are not very long; maybe 3 feet or so? Sorry, it's been a while so I don't remember exactly.

They compresses to about 1/3 the original size, about 3.5 and 5 respectively.

4 5/8" compressed & 5 1/16" extended or for the metrignomes out there 11.7 cm & 12.9 cm

They fold up just like an umbrella so they are as long as the shaft. I'm guessing right around 3 ft. You just have to be a little more careful when collapsing them but they do not take up much space and are easier on the go than a true softbox. I highly reccomend them for ease of use and value.

I actually sold these to my neighbors because they were to short for me, but I can find out tomorrow if you still need an answer. Let me know, I would be happy to do so.

No, the minimum length is 17.5" when the extension spring is fully compressed.

I would say they run a bit small so they can compress properly. If you feel like you're between sizes, I would advise you to choose the larger size.

I have mine packed away so I can't measure exactly but maybe like 4-5 inches off the ground. They are low.

I measure 3.25 to 3.5 inches thick at the highest points. Compress to 1.25.

I have Mirage 15's on them. They are a little over 40 lbs and have no visible compression. I hope this helps.

They are very thin and also fairly short, less than 5.5 inches long. They work well and feel soft.

It is shipped compressed as you describe. But I don't think it will get quite to eight feet.

It's spring loaded and will compress from 11/2 down to 1 inch. Remember to reverse the adapter if it does not light up.

They are deflated and packaged tightly when they arrive. I forget the exact dimensions, but they looked really small the way they were packaged. Yet, they did inflate to 12. I used a mattress pump to quickly inflate them.

Mine goes up to 33 inches, but the air piston thing holding it up is really weak, so when I sit on it, it compresses down to 30". Minimum is 24".
