This affordable flash umbrella was perfect for a recent outdoor photo shoot. It’s large but easy to handle and maneuver. Has nice zipper on bottom that allows tripod to pass thru with ease.
If there’s wind, be ready to catch it. The white diffraction cover attaches with Velcro and works fine. No major complaints.
Are there better, more precise reflective soft box style flash umbrellas? Sure, but you get what you pay for. Happy flashing

This is my first softbox, so I do not have much to compare this to. I do have a set of umbrellas that I use, but this lets me have a bit more control over where the light is being thrown. The diffuser adds a wonderful soft light that does some incredible things with skin tones.
Set up is pretty straight forward and it opens up just like an umbrella. There is a zippered opening to get your stand through the bottom and then mount the flash on the inside.
Pros:
- Easy set up and take down, although there it is a bit of trick to fold the diffuser panel correctly to get it back into the carry bag with the softbox. I’m sure once you do it a few times, it will not be an issue.
- Size – this thing is really large (over 4 feet diameter!) once you get it set up and you can direct a nice wall of light with this thing.
- Diffuser makes a wonderful soft light.
- Seems like it is well constructed for the price. I am not sure if it would survive a tumble in the wind, but I plan on mostly using this indoors.
- Provides good lighting with both a speedlight and plug-in strobe.
Cons:
- The flash unit goes inside the umbrella. If you have a manual flash, adjustments are best dialed in before you Velcro on the diffuser panel. Having it on the inside really can’t be avoided with this style of softbox, but it’s something to be aware of before buying.
- There is no articulating arm on the mount, so you will not be able to angle this unit. Your only option is straight up and down. Because it is so large, it hasn’t been a problem for me. One other reviewer suggested mounting it on a boom stand, which would be a pretty easy solution to adjust the angle.
Overall, I am very happy with this softbox and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an affordable, yet quality entry to expand their flash photography gear. I have had a good experience with the Neewer brand so far. I have this softbox paired with the Neewer 250W Studio Flash and I have been very happy with the results.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the first and third pictures have a grid attached. This grid was purchased separately, and is not a NEEWER product. That said, it fit the 47" soft box perfectly.
I have used this product as a four-in-one.
1. An umbrella reflector (i.e. Without the white diffuser panel in front).
2. An Octabox softbox (i.e. With the white diffuser panel in front).
3. A GRIDED Octabox softbox (i.e. Grid attached to front)
4. Background. This means using the octabox with a flash inside as the background in a headshot. The end result is a high key shot.
An additional way this could be used is as a flag. Now I haven't tested this yet, but I am assuming that if the octabox is in an open position and you turn it the other way, then using another light source to illuminate subject, the back of the box could be used to deflect light from where it's not required (because it's black). I will try this one day.
