I'm tring out a DIY bounce. I'm mainly going to be doing stuff outside and at night (downtown scences). I was looking at the Promax setup. Just like to get some input. I'm not worried about indoor portrait stuff, have a different gear setup for that.

It is very easy to carry as it folds into a flat wallet and is extremely versatile for virtually all situations you will want to use the flash for. Skip Douglas

Also own the lightshpere which works great but takes up too much space in the bag and attracts a lot of attention. 40D/ ef-s 60 f2.8/ 17-40 f4L/ 28-70 f2.8L/ 70-200 f4L IS/ 180 f3.5L macro

They are easy to carry. They are not perfect, but in an emergency they can work quite well.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Looking at the Promax and some of the softboxes. Local shop has some Lumiquest stuff. They have the Mini Softbox FX and Softbox 2, but not the Promax system.
