Well, I ordered an outdoor food cover and fashioned it into a DIY softbox. It seems to work ok, but it's not perfect.

Here are two pictures taken using it:

Inside I used an emergency blanket for reflective material, diffusion material I used a shower curtain, outside I just bought some cheap black material. It's held together with velcro and staples. Haha.
