This is a lovely little addition to the kit. Its simply easy to add a bit of soft light to any situation, whether outdoors or indoors, as the Flashgun is with you and no need to worry about mains power with studio lighting, or battery packs.

[...] Very easy to assemble and a good compromise of size v portability. Perfect for head and shoulder shots. All very good quality.

Very good if you are a strobist and want to soften the flashgun output.

In comparison to taking a studio flash kit and power pack out and about, it is just so much simpler.
Good quality of light for head and shoulders work. OK for full length but not spectacular.

Folding the softbox takes a bit of practice but it's not much different from the other Lastolite fold-up products.

The extending handle isn't much use because it is too short. Just have an assitant fold the legs on the light stand and jack it up to the required height. Much better.

Very impressed with the results from this 60 x 60 kit. Now using it with wireless triggers to give me a little more freedom from the off camera flash cord and will be considering getting the bigger version to use them together. However, for head and shoulders the 60 x 60 has been fine on it's own. On the down side, folding the the softbox up can be a little awkward until you get used to it, and the zips on the Lastolite bags are not very robust. Additionally, some of the stitching came adrift on the edge of the softbox.

I've used this a few times now and I have to say it does deliver on head n shoulder shots (not tried on full body shots but I've read it may not work that well - we'll see)

Easy set up, good quality stand and very versatile. (I like the clamp that has a ratchet so positioning it at angles means it will remain there and not fall or slip)

If I have a slight gripe it could be that the bracket holding the diffuser onto the clamp could be longer as my remote trigger on the flash pushes the bracket to its highest position (it won't fall out but it's a close thing - it's a small gripe)

Overall, happy enough but could be a bit cheaper

This is a great product, very easy to assemble and stores flat for easy carriage and storage. It works well but after a few uses I found it a bit too small for portrait work. Good for head and shoulders and as a fill light. But I will need to get the next size up as well.
