May 01, 2012 12:18 | #2 if you want fotodiox, you may want to check out their EZ-Pro line that open up like an umbrella. the one you listed you have to assemble each time if I'm not mistaken. Phillip - phillipwardphotography.com

I have a similar octa from phottix but it has single ribs and they bind quite easily. The iPhoto does look good. Do you know how much is shipping to the US. I checked pn ebay but the prices are double.

I was shooting with it outside once and did not use sandbags (I know) and the wind blew it over. Now it's a bit crooked but still works. Wonder what would have happened with a less sturdy Phottix. http://www.twilightandtulle.com

I have 4 of those - easy to setup and take down... EOS R6’ / 1D X / 1D IV (and the wife has a T4i)
