I have used the product. For me it proved to be worth the dollars invested - I have now moved on to different products that just happen to cost more - but I feel the new products are also worth the dollars to me. Your expectations and experiences may vary.........standard disclaimer applies

I was looking at the Fotodiox octa, but I didn't like how the front baffle covers over whole box. I ended up with the Pro Studio EZ Pro one like this..

The recess front baffle controls the light spread better. Also when I change larger modifiers, I like to lay the box flat on the ground and snap the strobe head into it, and recess screens keep cleaner.

I agree, love my Pro Studio octa.
