I really don't think the brolly box is anything worth buying. Just an umbrella with black backing.

The black backing will prevent a lot of spill and power loss though.

I bought the very same one from the same seller. Very well made, sturdy, the internal side of the backing reflective white, and they ship them well packaged.

After that, I ordered another (different) one from the same seller. Satisfied again.

I bought the 57" version from the same seller (the shoot-thru kind like the OP listed, not the one eduardo linked). I was going to try it out later tonight. Looks sturdy enough and sets up super fast.

BTW, although it says "Great for all monolight brands using up to a 7" reflector" mine fits fine on my genesis 200 (8.25" reflector iirc) with room to spare.
