Im confused, so is this a softbox that is just shaped like an umbrella? Like does it perform the functions of any other soft box?

It is a softbox, in that it is a rectangular light modifier that you fire your flash into the back of, where the light is then reflected back out the front. Functionally, it works just the same as any softbox, albeit is not made of the highest quality materials. The bag it comes in is horrible, and the softbox itself is relatively poorly made. I would not buy another, but it gets the job done in a pinch.

Yes, it performs just like any other softbox but it folds nicely like an umbrella. It's amazing! I bought one, and liked it so much that I ordered another one.

Nope, this is an ordinary softbox. It performs all the functions of most other softboxes (i.e., diffusing light) and is very collapsible.

Yes... this is a Softbox. It just collapses like an umbrella. The flash fires to the back and the light reflects forward through the screen. It does work for me.

it is a softbox that is square in shape but mounts on a speedlight umbrella adapter like an umbrella. the umbrella adapter (with speedlight/flash) fits through an opening in the bottom of the softbox and the softbox umbrella shaft goes through adapter mount. the flash faces backwards into the softbox and reflects the light on the inner surface of the softbox. a velcro-mounted diffuser is placed on the front of the softbox to soften the light produced. it works and functions like any other softbox. very easy to use and set up. highly recommended especially for its price.

Yes there is a velcro to attach the softbox to the flash. The problem is if it would fit snugly. I'm using a generic flash and the softbox sometimes falls off. So what I did, I just used a ordinary rubber band so it will hold the softbox tightly around the flash. Hope this helps!

Hi Sarah, this softbox does not come with any type of light. It is strictly the light modifier. You will need to provide that separately. In answer to your question you could use either continuous lighting or a flash head.

I know that's what it looks like, but it's not made of soft plastic. When you use it on soft-tissue, it kind of creates a light suction, but nothing worth remembering. I don't even know what it is for. Anyway, it's still a great product.

I think it would be possible to fit it, since the Softbox has plenty of adjustment possibilities. However I think such a small flash will not deliver too much power, so it might be a waste to get such a softbox.

it is not a hard box no. It keeps its shape to some extent but is relatively soft. It can be squished, depending on whats in it.

This does not come with an umbrella. The "type" of stroller is often referred to as an umbrella stroller because it folds up like an umbrella and is lightweight but does not refer to an actual umbrella component. Hope that helps!

It does not fold like an umbrella. It folds in half. It's quite compact though.... We've been carrying it off and on Disney busses and trams all week long with no problem whatsoever.:

This actually is like an umbrella. I would say that it's about 3 feet long when it's broken down. Then the white part of the soft box actually comes off and you can fold it down very small.

Ive used the Manfrotto 026 Swivel Lite-Tite Umbrella Adapter with a yongnuo speedlite & something similar to this CowboyStudio 43" Black and White Reflective Photography Studio Brolly Box. I dont dare put any more weight on it. I think itd honestly break.

Would work probably for a small softbox but would not try it for a medium to large softbox as it is primarily for lighting backdrops or a fill light.

Sorry, I did not like this so I returned it. Don't know if a larger softbox will work.

Its a sun shade not a rain umbrella!!! You cant carry it around and its not shaped for rain coverage, but for sun angles.

It is a diffuser that you can slide over the front of the umbrella. It sort of turns the umbrella into a giant octobox! You do have to buy the parabolic umbrella separately though.

Yes, It is a large fabric material like a soft box with a center hole and drawstring to close it,, it works very well, just not in heavy wind,

I've never tried twisting it like a folding reflector (or window shade). Never saw a need to. The ezybox does appear to be made of fabric with some sort of internal metal frame. While I imagine the frame can take some flexing, I don't think it was designed to be bent into other shapes. It folds flat and fits into a fabric case that it comes with.

It definitely keeps its box shape. It will fold up when empty and you push the sides in to flatten it. It is square, not organically shaped.
