Dear all.
I bought a Limo Studio Kit with 2 white umbrellas and 1 black/silver with 3x85w
They are ok but, beeing umbrellas, they spread the light all around.

I was thinking to integrate with some entrey level softbox.
I found this:

Godox 80 cm / 31.5in portátil paraguas del Flash Softbox Brolly Reflector para estudio Photo Flash Speedlight luz Speedlite en Accesorios de Estudio Fotográfico de Electrónica de Consumo en AliExpress.com | Alibaba Group

it's cheap, it will fit in my umbrella socket and they'll ship it for free to Argentina
(this is my socket: Amazon.com : LimoStudio 2 x New Studio AC Socket Light Stand Mount Umbrella Holder, AGG428 : Photographic Lighting Umbrellas : Camera & Photo)

I could buy some 105W bulbs to have more light...
What do you think?
Could it be a good idea?
Thank you!

Nothing wrong with that softbox. Once you have it in hand you can determine its durability, but it would certainly work.

Make sure you have the room for it, it's a fairly good size.

Thank you Charlie...
it's so good that the photography art can be affordable...

There's surely no comparison with a 7000 USD Dedolight kit but I'm sure that my umbrellas and softboxs will be great to practice and learn.

I'm convinced that as photographers, the first step is learning to see the light and resulting shadows first before we can really make effective use of the high end lights and modifiers. Absolutely nothing wrong with learning from inexpensive constant light sources first!
