PIXAPRO 30x90cm (11.8"x35.4") Easy-open Strip Umbrella Softbox with 4cm Grid
I chose this hesitantly because I was really looking at the Profoto version. However, that is out of my budget at the moment - so rather than wait I decided to try this. Very pleased that I did. It has not had much use yet, but the build quality seems very good and it is so easy to prepare for use. I have been impressed with all of the Pixapro products I have purchased from Essentail Photo

Excellent product
I was very pleased with the quality and the easy use. It is a good build quality and easy to operate. I was able to set it up and then put it back in the bag for like 4 - 5 min altogether. The carrying case is very suitable and makes it storing and transporting very easy. Overall very nice product for the price and I will be getting more for sure.

How To Assemble a Pixapro Umbrella Softbox
I can pretty much cover all of my location shoots with the kit in this case. I am able to use it for Studio based portraits, Prom and Graduation Night Balls, Corporate Head shots on location, Location shoots for both Private clients and Model based shoot and Product photography. I have covered weddings using this kit, lighting the main dance floor, the Bride and Groom shots outside and larger group shots, balancing the lights with the available ambient light.
