This has it all. Very well-made with quality construction and materials. Easy to deploy with a carrying case and it does a very nice job diffusing the light. It has good accessories that are also easy to use and I find the bracket extremely handy. You would’ve paid 5 to 10 times the amount for an umbrella soft box just 10 years ago. It’s crazy that you can get something good at this low price.

You can tell some thought was put into the design of this product. The setup and breakdown of it are so quick and easy on your fingers. I've used this so far for chest up photos, headshots, and pictures of my 6 year old. It works well with Godox AD200 and is light enough to fit on pretty much any stand. I love breaking this out for quick pics. Great for hand held pics.

The Takerers 22-inch Deep Parabolic Softbox punches well above its price point. I’ve used it with both my Aputure Amaran 100d and Neewer LED panel, and the results have been consistently excellent. The deep parabolic design produces soft, directional lighting with a natural fall-off, ideal for portraits, interviews, and product photography.One of the standout features is the upgraded one-step quick installation—seriously, it pops open like an umbrella and locks into place. No fiddling with rods or frustration. Tear-down is just as fast, making it perfect for on-location shoots or tight studio setups.The included honeycomb grid is a great bonus. It helps control spill and adds contrast without affecting the softness of the light. Build quality is solid—the fabric feels premium, and the inner reflective surface distributes light evenly.The S-type bracket is also well-made and versatile. It held both flash heads and continuous lights securely, and the mount adjustments were smooth and firm.Pros:Super fast setup and breakdownExcellent light quality—soft, even, directionalIncludes grid for precision lightingCompatible with a wide range of lights (Aputure, Neewer, GVM, etc.)Comes with an extra S-type bracket for flexibilityCons:At 22", it’s best for small to medium setups; for full-body work, consider a larger softboxGrid attaches with velcro—secure, but can snag if you're rough with itBottom Line:If you're looking for a portable, high-quality softbox that doesn't waste your time with tedious setup, this one is a winner. It’s become a core part of my gear for both photo and video shoots. Highly recommended for content creators, portrait photographers, and videographers.

The strength of this softbox is the ease of which it sets up. If you have used softboxes, you know they can be very frustrating at times to set up. I have used some that drive me nuts, but this is a simple one step solution. Very good quality fabrics, light color is neutral. A few things to note. The S-type mount works very well but I would have preferred a heavier plastic. It is also only big enough to hold a flash about the size of a speed light. Also be aware that there is no Bowens ring included, even though it says it's compatible with Bowens mount.

This softbox is a very easy to use, small, light folding one with a standard bowens mount. It has a nice magnetic adapter that allows you to use it on other lights as well, making it very versatile. The set includes the softbox itself, a grid, two diffusers, and a carrying bag to keep it all in. Overall, I like the design, which is easier to use than the snap-in type like my other octagon softboxes. The price is on par with other similarly-sized softboxes, so that's a positive as well. So far, this is very nice!

Very convenient and goes together easily. Often with reflectors of this type the rigid rods/sticks have to be snapped in individually, but this goes up and down with just a couple of clicks. Quick installation as advertised. Can be used as a reflector, or with included diffusion and grid. Has its own carry bag which is easy to get things in and out of, it's not too small for the product (another common problem).
