Generic Soft boxes off online auction sites?

[patrick_f]

<p>Hello, <br>

Tonight I was browsing on Fleabay and I kept coming across these generic softboxes with grids for very little money (compared to the big brands). They look cheap and I am hesitant but does anyone have any experience with these?<br>

Thanks,<br>

<p>I have experience with one of them, its a Dynaphos, 3x4. It was very inexpensive and does a great job, the light is very nicely diffused. However the speedring needed some serious modification to fit my normans. Are you handy with a dremel? If you are not a pro and you would prefer more modifiers rather than blowing your whole budget on one amazingly expensive softbox I suggest you try one out.</p>

<p>Patrick, Take a look at the soft boxes on the White Lightning web site. They've got a very wide range of sizes and I believe a speed ring may be included with the purchase price. Even their largest box is a very reasonable price. The only draw back is that the last time I checked, theirs were not manufactured with a recessed front. Otherwise they are a terrific value.</p>

<p>I was going recommend Dynophos/Amvona as well but it looks like they are gone from ebay, one of my favorites modifiers is the 5 foot octobox and stand I got for $100</p>

a little more expensive that when they were on Ebay but if the product is the same its a good value</p>
