Portable softbox for speedlites and hot shoe flashes details.
I've been receiving more and more emails asking for information about the softbox I use with the speedlites.
Several brands offer this package, I opted for the Chimera set as it was complete and had a larger box than the other brand at the time of purchase.
So, here are some details about what I'm using.

As you can see it is the Chimera PRO II XS softbox that I'm using.
Nice adapter ring is within the package I bought.FIrst time you might need to get the hang of it but after a few shoots you'll be used to it and able to set the box up in less than 5 minutes.

It has an extra reflective screen for the inside, you can attach it via velcro :
