The products were very accurate and the best price around for what I ordered. The delivery was very prompt and clear.

Pros: Quick assembly
Flexibility
Lovely Quality of Light
portability

Cons: Only thing that I would say is a very minor con, is the screw that attaches the Flashgun bracket to the Speedring need s to be a tad longer. This way when you screw it in it doesn't rub against the rim of the speed ring!

Best Uses: Weddings
Portraits
Group shots

I was looking for the best/largest and most portable Softbox that would work with my Flashguns ont he streets of NY. After looking at all the reviews calling several competitors. I settled on the ALZO Large Softbox for Porta Flash Speedlight 24" x 36"! I must say that I am extremely happy not only with the quality of the product itself but the quality of the light output is amazing.

I would recommend this softbox to any Photographer that is looking for a reasonably priced and professionally constructed product that will add that perfect soft light to your pictures.

I would ask for one thing in the near future .... Please ALZO make a Medium Octobox ( 30 to 36 inches ) for the Speed light and I will be the first one on line to buy it.

Thank you from a happy Customer,

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent product that is constructed of durable yet light weight material. Easy to assemble and disassemble. The double diffusion panels creates a very nice diffused light for portrait purposes. Adjustable heighth mounting bracket adds flaxability for use with various flashes and radio triggers. Excellent buy when compared to more expensive units.

Pros: Portable, Pro quality for a fraction of the cost

Cons: Trivial instructions

Best Uses: Home Studio

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very portable w/ pro quality, however it comes with trivial instructions (you must be good at puzzles). Most people can't afford softboxes of this size because they are upwards of $300, but this is definitely within anyone's price range for half the cost.

Pros: very good price, soft light, excellent construction

Cons: In this price range nothing

Best Uses: Products, Portraits, ...

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It's a good big softbox for not too much money. I doubt it if it has saved me money as I didn't get a stand with it. So I still have to buy that now.

So a little disappointing actually. But the item itself is good quality.

Pros: 24"x36", Nice built

Cons: Setup takes longer

Best Uses: fill flash for outdoor or main flash for single person portrait

Describe Yourself: Photo Enthusiast

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a nicely built softbox that works great. The only thing is that it's not as easy as other portable softboxes to setup.

Pros: Lightweight, well-constructed, easy to assemble, two layers of diffusion fabric give beautiful, soft, even light, great piece of kit at a fantastic price. Compare with the Lastolite Ezybox at almost twice the price of the ALZO.

Cons: Not really a "con" so much as a potential concern - the way the flash bracket assembles to the speedring results in a certain amount of stress being put on one of the very few plastic pieces in the construction (everything else is metal, fiberglass or cloth) - would like to see this area redesigned. But until it breaks (which may be never), it remains a potential concern rather than a concern.

Best Uses: Portraits, "Strobist" figure photography, small-product photography

I discovered ALZO products when I was first in the market for a small softbox, and I bought their 15"x15" Small Softbox for Porta Flash Speedlights. Based on my experience with the construction, performance and price of the small softbox, when I saw they had come out with the larger 24" x 24" and 24" x 36" softboxes, I knew I had to have one. I settled on the 24" x 36" because

a) I wanted the larger size for softer, more even illumination over larger subjects, and
b) it was only a few dollars more than the 24" x 24"

So far, I have not been disappointed. This is a great product, well made, and priced to sell.
