I received a large box today. A large, light weight box.
Inside was a Chinese puzzle. It is one of those shoot through soft-boxes that needs a little construction. 14 (!) spines inserted and pushed into the bowens ring, then 14 inner baffle clips (pesky little things) and what do you have?
Probably something a little big for a small studio, especially with the construction process involved.
The soft box, all 34.5” of it, was bought as an ARTDNA, but came in a sealed Neewer bag. This was not a huge surprise as the same softbox is listed that way also. What is a surprise is the price. I paid half the Neewer price ($42au), just as I did with my 26” and the massive 48” I ordered just after this one for even less! I can only just get this out the door, so the 48” may not get a heap of use.
Nicely made, went together as it should have. The 26” is on the floor below and unfortunately you can see both corners of the room so pretty cosy!
So, a win for Neewer by proxy?
A win for me ;).
