This 150cm octagonal easy open umbrella softbox has everything you love in a traditional softbox but with the ease of use and setup of an umbrella. This uniquely designed softboxes are made with the on-location photographers in mind.
The opening mechanism within the softbox is designed for quick and easy set-ups, opening like a regular umbrella, it expands into a square softbox. It will save you precious time, it also has well constructed frame, which is very sturdy, particularly well-suited for outdoor and on-location use.
The interior walls have a highly reflective silver lining to bounce and reflect all the light towards your subject with no spill.Front and rear diffusers can be used as required for more precise positioning and feathering. The softbox also includes a removable honeycomb grid to better control light spill. The honeycomb grid, also called egg crate, will result in a narrower spread of light which can be positioned directly onto the subject without light spilling on the background. The grid is very simple to attach using the wide Velcro strips on the inside of the softbox. The honeycomb is 40mm x 40mm , which is also 40mm deep. The honey comb cells are much deeper than most and hold their shape extremely well.
This umbrella softbox can also be packed down into a carry bag when not in use.
Please note the flash unit and stand are not included with this listing.

Answer:
The Honeycomb grids (sometimes referred to as Egg Crates) are used to control the spread of light. The smaller the grid, the more concentrated the beam will be. These are ideal if you don’t want the light to spill onto certain parts of your set such as the background.
Answer:
Octagonal boxes (or Octaboxes) and Traditional softboxes pretty much work in the same way, but due to their octagonal shape, Octaboxes focus the light a little better than a square or rectangular softbox does, giving you a slightly better light output. Octagonal softboxes also produce more pleasing round catch lights in the eyes of your subjects.
Answer:
Sometimes if you hold your Umbrella Softbox by the fabric, the fabric will come away from the frame of the softbox.
To prevent this from happening, look for the Velcro strips located near the centre of the umbrella Softbox, and wrap them around the spokes (as shown in the images below) to prevent the fabric from coming away again
