The softbox comes in a small bag where everything fits in perfectly. Content is described in the delivery. So you only need a tripod to or someone who holds them.
The softbox is built in a very short time and thus ready for use.
Since I've only worked with through the light shades, I can not compare with other softboxes.
However, I am more than satisfied. They are from a super nice and very soft light.
I can only recommend the Firefly!
