✅ I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and quick it was to set up, even without instructions. The box it came in was long and narrow, which was a bit confusing at first, but once I started putting it together it turned out that the entire design was thought out down to the smallest detail. The assembly took me less than a minute and the process was so intuitive that I didn't have to think about what to do or how to do it. An important advantage is that even in low light conditions you can easily see all the key elements, which makes the assembly process even easier and more comfortable.
✅ The light created by this lamp is really impressive for its softness and uniformity. This is an ideal solution for video and photo shoots where it is important to avoid harsh shadows and create a nice visual effect. The good thing is that the lamp illuminates not only in front of itself, but also around the subject, making it much more versatile than traditional softboxes. The ease of installation on different types of luminaires allows you to quickly adapt to changing shooting conditions, resulting in visually appealing lighting that can suit a variety of applications.
✅ It was unexpectedly convenient for transport and storage thanks to the foldable design. When not in use, the lamp easily folds down to a compact size for those with limited space to store equipment. The set includes a carrying bag that protects the lamp from dust and damage, and is also spacious enough to accommodate the lamp itself and additional accessories.
✅ The mechanism for attaching the lamp to the Bowens mount is very simple and reliable. The installation process takes only a few seconds, which is important if you frequently change scenes or lighting during filming. The ease of attachment not only saves time, but also reduces the likelihood of installation errors, which is important in professional work.

To make your life easier, to date the various major Chinese brands that offer softboxes on Amazon all seem to be supplied by the same factory or factories.
The models for the same type of softbox here lantern and the same size here 65 cm in diameter, are in short identical with just the logo that changes on it. Identical design, identical build quality and that's not a bad thing since for once all in this range are of good quality, this one included.
The mechanism for unfolding and folding it is super simple and quick, just place it face down and press on the back at the level of the ring with the bowens adapter then aim so that the hook hooks, and vice versa to fold it. It comes in a decent carrying case; you just have to keep in mind that unlike parabolic or rectangular softboxes once stored these tend to take up more space and nothing heavy should be stored on top.
Its diffusion is soft without tint.
And all this therefore also applies to almost all competing models in the same price range released in the last 2 years.
In terms of price, after a little research, the competing models are all currently aligned to the nearest cent at €79.99 at the time of this test, my advice is therefore to take the first one that comes along or the cheapest brand if you come across a coupon or something else.
