Didn't realize that. Makes the EZ-pro version look like a good deal. What's difference, does the fotodiox have better construction?

Try looking at a Qbox. Its more of a "It depends" I agree 100% with you if you are going to try to set it 10 feet from the subject and try to match some ambient.

I haven't handled a fotodiox branded box to compare, but the EZPro has an umbrella-style mechanism to open and close it so it is really easy to set up and take down. -- Ken

Ok, now that I got that out of the way.... This one does not have the umbrella style setup. This one has the traditional softbox construction... of course this is actually an octabox so there are more spokes than a standard softbox. It didn't seem to hard to setup for the first time. I've only done a couple test shots with it, we'll see how it goes in actual use. I've got mine setup with an Alienbee B800 on the 13' heavy duty stand. It all feels pretty stable and good to go. yep, pls post a sample pic using this softbox in the studio lighting section pls. tia ponzy
