LumiQuest ProMax Mini SoftBox

This product came quickly, easy to use, and does what it said it would do. Very pleased with it, glad I added it to my tool case.

Thanks

This is a great little addition to any photographer's arsenal. Adding this mini-softbox to your flash will instantly remove that harsh lighting associated with some units and will flatter your subject in a more natural light that will bring out distinguishing features and a realistic look to any photo.

Excellent tool for your flash photos. Be prepared to answer questions like " What is that thing?" and "What does it do?" Loved the effectiveness though. Would recommend to anyone. Good value.

I bought this along with the LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer and the Cinch Strap and these are all great products to have with you anywhere you go.
I have a Canon 430EX Flash and these have all been great for helping to control flash output and adding warmth to images. The Softbox is especially good in that it is used with the flash in a 'straight-on' position and it greatly helps to eliminate the 'shine' on foreheads, cuts down the sharpness of shadows and adds great warmth to images with people.
All these items fold and tuck away neatly for storage and carry along with the flash unit.
A great THUMBS UP! from me.

this little softbox works wonders, when considering the cost of it, and what it's REALISTICALLY meant to do. it is not meant to replace a large or even medium softbox. if you're looking to soften up that much light, just buy a shoot through umbrella or a larger softbox. what this does is make the light from your speedlight/off camera flash MUCH less harsh. it takes a little getting used to, but i never ever leave without one of these in my bag. it also lessens the harshness of your flash to others as well, when shooting bands or public events. you lose about 1/3 of a stop, but if you know what you're doing you'll learn to compensate.

the only thing i didn't like about this is that the velcro comes attached to the softbox itself. the prickly side of the velcro is attached to the softbox, and assumes you put the soft side of the velcro on your speedlite. WRONG. i have all my other items (gobo, snoot, gel holder, etc) configured so that the hard velcro is on my speedlite, so i had to peel the velcro tape (quality velcro tape, btw) off the softbox, and stick the soft velcro back on the softbox. kind of a pain. let us make the decisions on our rigs next time, lumiquest.

but seriously, for this little money, you can't afford NOT to give it a shot. it does look a little goofy, but when you see the results, you won't mind how it looks. i haven't used my sto-fen diffuser since i bought this.
