What is the difference between this thing and the Hilite? They look exactly the same except this thing is cheaper...

Anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks,
Brian

I have Megalite. Its about 4ftx6ft in size and about 1.5ft deep. I do not use this as a background but as a softbox. It opens up like a reflector and very fast to setup. Lastolite Hilite, on the other hand is much bigger in size, about 7ft by 8ft and is mostly use as a background.

Take a look at this video from Mark Cleghorn. (external link)

Here is something that looks nearly identical for about half the price: http://fotodioxpro.com …ll-for-strobe-lights.html (external link)

I've purchased a few items from Fotodiox, foldable octas etc. There quality is better than one would expect considering the price point.
