Soft box ?

[John P]

I am in the market for 2 speedlight softboxes.
The Cheetah stand Qbox24 looks really good so far.
Does anyone here have any experience with them?
Wondering about build quality. And light quality.
Please don't hit me with studio strobes offer a better bang for my buck. I already have studio lighting. These softboxes will be for speedlight specific work.

Not to deter you from your quest, but if you already have studio lighting, wouldn't a $13 umbrella do essentially the same thing as $100+ softbox?

I got a cowboy studio umbrella/softbox kit, and it works amazing. It's the standard umbrella, and you can put a cover on it to make it a soft box. It was only like 30$. Never used either of the other two.

Not really.

I have umbrellas. For my application I need more DIRECTED soft light. The umbrellas have thier place. But so do the softboxes.
