This video is so thorough and so very helpful!! Your funny and straight to the point. I love that you showed the breakdown and set up of each sofbox, because there is nothing worse then buying something and feeling annoyed every time you set it up or put it away. So many helpful tips and wow, you show so many different soft box choices. You are giving away years of experience in this video that can save a person so much headache and money just by watching your video. It's comparable to taking a class but I was able to watch it while sipping coffee in bed! Thanks for sharing such a wealth of knowledge!
I WISH I could say how much that video has helped me! I am JUST now getting ready to order a softbox and how you have displayed each, showed their output and share your personal experiences and at the end? Man...Light sample, description and cost-ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! There is NO other video that can touch this. Honest answers and visuals to back it all up. Thanks so very much!!
I discovered your channel through Camera Conspiracies and I absolutely love it. I'm constantly trying to find way to minimize my setup bag for location shooting and I've went back to your first video and am watching them all. Thanks for the quality content. This video is top notch.
Wow .. this is surely the best video i have seen on softboxes. And I have been seeing a whole lot of them. This one is light years ahead of anything else!! Awesome! Love it!
The problem I used to have with Wescott boxes, was that the colors of the materials would change as they aged. That’s a long time ago. My favorites were Chimera and Plume. My all time favorite soft boxes and umbrellas were those from Profoto, especially the extra large ones. But the Profoto products are probably the most expensive on the market. Of course my use was from almost thirty years ago, when I was selling this equipment in Hollywood.
Man, you're like Yoda for us newer photographers on a budget. These videos are so helpful and approachable. Priceless advice anad real-world examples in each one. Thank you, Markus! You're a national treasure.
The Westcott Rapid Box Octas are not designed to be opened and closed from the back, but people try to do it anyway and thus, the unnecessary difficulty of opening and closing them. The zippered slit in the side is only there for a way to grab the frame when mounting and unmounting. It's all explained in the instructions, but also in many videos by Westcott and others. It is incredibly fast and easy to set one of these guys up from the front, and equally as simple to tear it down. If you prefer to leave your diffusers attached (as I do), simply pull open a section of the front diffuser big enough to put your hand through and get er' done. Thank you, btw, for repeatedly alluding the high quality of light from these great modifiers. That alone makes them worth the extra cost, but the build quality w/the 10 year warranty cements the deal for me. They are truly built to withstand the rigors of daily use for many years. All that being said, you have put together one of the most helpful videos on this topic that I have ever seen. Thank you for that - nicely done. Scott Olson at: www.ThirdDayImaging.com
Wow is this an impressive video! Tons of illustrations of size, setup, what's easy, what's a problem, and then illustrations of the results with each. And your discussion moves along at a wonderfully brisk pace. Thanks very much for doing this!
Thanks for taking the time to review all of these softboxes. After watching your recent part-2 video I watched this one. Between the two videos I think you covered just about everything. These are very helpful for determining what softboxes to buy.
Out of hours of researching, i find your videos is the most helpful. It's all about the usage at the end, set up time, portability, size, light quality. It's how you make small modifiers works for you instead of buying the biggest one possible. Thanks for sharing all your info. I shoot mostly just bareflash and umbrellas so buying softboxes are a new thing for me :)
@Markus You have the best BTS video for Godox I have seen. Everyone seems to review the product, but you do it justice by giving consistent examples. THANK YOU
Markus, this is the best video i watched about how softboxes compare, straight to the point, not excessive chit chat and the best is that you use everyday language!!!, Just love it !!! you have a new subscriber, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! ( PD. with that model, everyone will be motivated to shoot !! LOL )
2 years later... i just found your channel and this video... i wonder why you have (now) only 33.800 followers, while you delivery pretty much information and you dont fall too deep into photographer-selfish-love. It feels more like you are still grounded and i like your explainings of your decisions a lot, as they make sense to me. Greetings from germany... liked and subscribed.
Great video. Congratulations. Thank you for this. I don't understand why there are people who put their hands down on this kind of help. We must give value to people who are in the dynamics of sharing knowledge. It's that simple.
This video has to be one of the best videos for smart advice concerning photography gear. It's amazing how little money you spend if you know what you're doing. Thanks man!
6 лет назад+1
Simply one of the best video related with flashes I've ever seen before! Thanks man, your work is brilliant, awesome! At last but not least the beautiful lady model, very gorgeous & smart too.
Lucid yet precise and very informative... this is by far the best comparison video, on any photographic gear, I have seen on the internet. And not to forget the wonderful photographs that make the point so well!!
I have the 'Square Thing' 80cm x 80cm and it is a great soft box, plus it is dirt cheap ! The s bracket has a brolly clap which allows a flash brolly to be used as well.
Thank you for taking the time and effort (and $$) to put this together for us Markus. Been a fan of your lighting and work for a while, you're one of the photographers that got me into the ad360 system a couple years ago. Thanks!
WOW! I'm pausing at 13 min to write this. GREAT, straight forward, informative video, with prices and sample shots. Not too much and definitely not too little info. Keep up the great work!
Markus, I've been out of the photography game for a while now, and when I took out my old Alien Bee's soft boxes, I found that the interior lining deteriorated, so I was in the market for new modifiers. This video is untouchable in the way you compared all the different mods, showed prices, and actual examples of your fabulous work. This is the best soft box YT video I have seen. I also admire that even though you are an awesome photographer, you appear to be quite humble. Subscribe added with bell notifications of new videos. Thank you so much.
An incredible presentation, done with a sense of jest and best of all he talks to you with real world examples. very professional , I love how your model soaks up the glamor and has fun with it as you do as well, thanks for sharing
Excellent tutorial one of the best I've seen comparing so many different boxes. I agree with your results for the most part there isn't a real big difference. Using the boxes really close up for headshots makes a difference but the biggest difference that I saw between the small boxes and the larger ones that you were sharp at noticing and pointing out is the larger catch light with the bigger boxes as well as the lack of a hotspot. With the bigger boxes those are the two biggest differences. If you're looking strictly for bang for the buck those slight differences probably aren't enough to make it worth the money they cost. If money isn't too much of a problem then the medium size boxes are probably your best bang for the buck that allow you to have most of the advantages (softer lite ,larger catch light, no hot spot) & least disadvantages (harder light, small catch light, & hot spot). But the difference on location is fairly subtle and the headaches produced by wind and the extra bulk ( heaver to transport, slower more difficult set up) increases considerably with the larger boxes.
Years ago when I worked for Lifetouch and did senior environmental's, I used a Quantum Td3 and their 4" parabolic dish, never worried about it blowing over and my coworkers were amazed at the light quality
Wow, so glad I found this! Why, because it confirms everything I thought. I have tried a bunch of expensive and inexpensive modifiers and, in general, paying more doesn't get you much better light. Further, and this drives me crazy, some of the more expensive ones are more difficult to assemble then the inexpensive ones. I purged everything that was difficult to set up. Personally, I love the Cheetahstand modifiers - they perform like Westcott's, are easier to set up, and cost 30-40% less. What's not to like? That said, after seeing some of the Godox modifiers, I might try them if I need more. Right now there are no openings :)
Great video. This covers a lot of aspects of outdoor shooting, its good to know that you get pretty similar results with the small softbox as the larger ones. Good to avoid conspicuous gear when shooting in public spaces.
I really want to thank you for a great video and review about softboxes, but I really really want to thank your for your generosity in sharing your experience.
Thank you for your time and effort you spent making this video. This helped me make the decision to go from an 80 cm octagonal to an 18 cm because I do not want to purchase permits when shooting on location. And, I could not really tell the difference from the high dollar softbox to the inexpensive softbox. And, I know the client will not pick it apart either!
Thank you very much for the detailed and precise comparisons. Great photo illustrations. Inspiring presentation. Excellent summary at the end. Unique chart. I haven't seen any other photographer/reviewer do this. Really appreciate your great efforts. Liked and subbed.
With the great comparisons you give here I decided on the Godox 30x30 folding one. I also love what you say at the end about being creative, and working with what you have to make it work. New subscriber!
man thanks for making this, straight to the point, sample shots of each flash, and not like the rest of the d0ucy youtubers kissing azz to get amazon affiliate links. They will literally sell you poop to get that commission its ridiculous. But you, you dont give that vibe. love your thoughts about every flash. keep on rocking!
Oh my! Those are a lot of softboxes... All I can say is that, I am so excited to try this in maybe 3 years from now since I am only a beginner and I dont even have a softbox yet.. I am planing to make my own softbox hahaha it's okay i'll definitely have one of those in time... Thank you for this!
Great comparison video! I too own the Westcott XL & XXL and struggle to close the mechanism. For the price, they should have some button release mechanism similar to the Godox.

Great info, I like how quickly and easy you go through them and give your feedback - thanks! And, for the most part they're cheap enough that if one doesn't work out, just try another one!
Great comparison on octa's in this video. It was quite interesting to notice that the test of the Godox 80cm octa "umbrella" was very complementary. I just recently bought a 120cm version of this umbrella-octa and am i love it! Like you said, it's very quick to set it up get shooting. And also, it was €33,- well spend!
Very comprehensive review. I appreciate the effort you went to bring us the relevant information on each of the soft boxes. Great job and fantastic shots with them. Thanks!
Hi Markus Like your straight talking pragmatic approach. Always suspected there wasn't that much difference in practice between different soft boxes (of similar size) , albeit some are better built (durable) and easier to rig and tear down. Unless you have one or more assistants I find it's really hard to use anything bigger than about 30 inch outside without risk of damage from wind etc. Liked your suggestions and illustrations for using with just a diffused reflector for quick and light too.
Just found this video and loved the entertaining and positive and informative way you presented all this modefiers. Thank you so much! Greetings, like and abo from germany.
This is by far the best video on softboxes I have seen.
alberto cabrera yes, me too!
True! Fantastic practical tips!
alberto cabrera .. Most definitely.. Very thorough from a non technical prospective.
"Be creative with what you have, don't worry about what you don't have!" - LOVE IT! Thanks a lot for the comparison chart!

Which softbox did u get?
Again another epic video. Such a good breakdown on the different options. I have that Westcott Rapidbox XXL. Love it.
3 years old and the information still hold on, love the Umbrella review and the Chart is Amazingly done. Thanks a million !

Just started watching with coffee in hand. This is gonna be fun!
Even two year later, your review is relevant... and has all it takes for making smart choices.
Great work, huge thanks !!!
Straight up honest and real world view. The umbrellas are annoying to set up some times but the clip ons are great
Best find ever! Everything explained with the exact names and model numbers given? Somebody give this man a prize!
Wow is this an impressive video! Tons of illustrations of size, setup, what's easy, what's a problem, and then illustrations of the results with each. And your discussion moves along at a wonderfully brisk pace. Thanks very much for doing this!
This so far is the best video about all kinds and sizes of Softbox. Very well explained. Loved it
Thanks for taking the time to review all of these softboxes. After watching your recent part-2 video I watched this one. Between the two videos I think you covered just about everything. These are very helpful for determining what softboxes to buy.
I bought the Godox 29" because of your recommendation and I love it. Thanks!!!
Your review is incredibly interesting because a lot of people are asking questions about it. In addition, your photos are superb!
The best of this type of video.Plain talking from a photographer that uses the gear. Great job.

This is the only softbox video I will ever need to watch. Period! Thanks a ton mate.
A video like this is long overdue on RUclips...nice work!
Just when I thought I had watched every single one of your videos I found one more new one!, it’s like finding a lost episode of my favorite gun smoke
haha lots of buried gems.
Recently subscribed and I have to say I like how honest you are with your reviews!
After watching this I purchased a Godox 32 inch. After I got it I was so impressed I purchased another one. Cheers
Sounds like me :-)

By far... One of the best videos on this subject... Yes, I’m two years late but who cares 😂 Now I can make an informed decision. Thanks 🙏🏽
One of the best photography comparisons on RUclips made better by your great style. Thanks!
Fantastic comparison! Godox all the way for me! Best bang for your buck! I love your content Markus! And your model is gorgeous! Thank you
This is the BEST comparison of modifiers ever!!
Thanks Markus for giving so much of yourself!
The only video I needed to make my Softbox and light decision. Thank you.
So much good info in a short time. Must take a lot of time to make them so good and tightly edited. Thanks very much.

WOW! I'm pausing at 13 min to write this. GREAT, straight forward, informative video, with prices and sample shots. Not too much and definitely not too little info. Keep up the great work!
I know you’re making a epic softbox video a new one this is August 2022 but this one Marcus is gonna be hard to be good job my friend yahoo
This is perfect with the examples. Looking to get a decent softbox soon.

Exactly the comparison I needed; and this one is completely down to earth and even comes with a chart overview. Thanks!
Love this guy - so practical even though he can afford the best! GREAT

Dude You ARE AWESOME!! Like Sigfried and Roy combined
yeah and I'm German too! Siegfried actually lives down the street from me lol
@@MarkusPix you the man!!
Fantastic comparison. Keep them coming. A most photogenic model.

Thanks guitar dude
MarkusPix nice stuff in your channel brother
Godox T1 is a dream!..off camera TTL,WOW!.
yes I love Godox
Brilliantly explained Markus I’m still confused but am drawn towards the Godoxs. Good job 👏
With the great comparisons you give here I decided on the Godox 30x30 folding one. I also love what you say at the end about being creative, and working with what you have to make it work. New subscriber!
I was just looking into buying more lighting for my videos.. this came at the perfect time.. thanks!!
Hlepful and informative, Thank you Markus!
man thanks for making this, straight to the point, sample shots of each flash, and not like the rest of the d0ucy youtubers kissing azz to get amazon affiliate links. They will literally sell you poop to get that commission its ridiculous. But you, you dont give that vibe. love your thoughts about every flash. keep on rocking!
The square foldable Godox is my go to for travel Ana produces really soft even light. Great review
Oh my! Those are a lot of softboxes... All I can say is that, I am so excited to try this in maybe 3 years from now since I am only a beginner and I dont even have a softbox yet.. I am planing to make my own softbox hahaha it's okay i'll definitely have one of those in time... Thank you for this!
And just with one video you know all you need to know to make the right decision of what to buy.
Thank you for sharing!!!!!! Excellent video!!!!!!
Rated 10! Took the confusion out of diffusion. As seen on TV. Batteries not included. PS - The beautiful Cara is always soft looking.
Great comparison video! I too own the Westcott XL & XXL and struggle to close the mechanism. For the price, they should have some button release mechanism similar to the Godox.
[Copied from above]
The Westcott Rapid Box Octas are not designed to be opened and closed from the back, but people try to do it anyway and thus, the unnecessary difficulty of opening and closing them. The zippered slit in the side is only there for a way to grab the frame when mounting and unmounting. It's all explained in the instructions, but also in many videos by Westcott and others. It is incredibly fast and easy to set one of these guys up from the front, and equally as simple to tear it down. If you prefer to leave your diffusers attached (as I do), simply pull open a section of the front diffuser big enough to put your hand through and get er' done. Thank you, btw, for repeatedly alluding the high quality of light from these great modifiers. That alone makes them worth the extra cost, but the build quality w/the 10 year warranty cements the deal for me. They are truly built to withstand the rigors of daily use for many years. All that being said, you have put together one of the most helpful videos on this topic that I have ever seen. Thank you for that - nicely done.

Very informative!
Soft boxes are just the best way to go, and this video really shows you don't have tp spend a fortune to get pro results.
Great info, I like how quickly and easy you go through them and give your feedback - thanks! And, for the most part they're cheap enough that if one doesn't work out, just try another one!
Thank you for a very informative and simple to understand comparison. The best I've seen yet. Saved to my favorites!!
i got the godox cheap one, and yes good idea about bending the little clips with the pliers thing, thanks
Your pictures rock. Nice video.
thanks
Great comparison on octa's in this video. It was quite interesting to notice that the test of the Godox 80cm octa "umbrella" was very complementary. I just recently bought a 120cm version of this umbrella-octa and am i love it! Like you said, it's very quick to set it up get shooting. And also, it was €33,- well spend!
You totally changed my perspective I've been looking to modifiers. Thanks Markus!
Man so many thanks for taking the time to do all these comparisons.
This was so helpful, I was wanting to update my cheap softbox but want sure how much of a difference the would make but now I know.
Very comprehensive review. I appreciate the effort you went to bring us the relevant information on each of the soft boxes. Great job and fantastic shots with them. Thanks!
Buena comparación.. buen trabajó. Se aprende mucho de tus aportaciones personales. Gracias
Man! Thank you for clearing my mind of all this softbox stuffs. You made it very simple to me! Keep up the good and inspirational videos. ❤️🙏
Great video. Thank you for putting the time in and explaining the difference between all the modifiers.

I like this guy!! Your doing a great job!!
I appreciate that!
