I have two of these soft boxes ordered as a substitute for communication component. As I have both unpacked, I always had the price in mind. The tripod is up to the terminals of metal and if it takes off not quite stable enough. The fabric of faltschirms also keeps longer useful and was also the diffuser should keep even longer. One must not rumschleudern it and must all be treated with sensitivity. The cable has fallen short and if you have the stand extended, there is sufficient degree as to the ground. The 65Watt lamp extends to films for Aperture 4-5 'exposure at ISO400 and 50. But for me to make beautiful dark light as the radiator. Have therefore the 125W lamp ordered. My first lamp was broken, but was replaced without hesitation! Conclusion. This softbox is better than any communication component because the power consumption and heat generation (65w) are negligible. Buy some prefer this softbox plus 125w lamp as communication component, is cheaper in the end.
