Kamerar Dfuse Collapsible Softbox for Aputure Amaran 528/672 LED Light Panels: Foldable, Portable Diffuser, Strap Attachment, Camera Photo Film Video

We really like this softbox. I wouldn't say it fits perfectly on our HR672S and HR672W lights but it's more than good enough. This is actually a little more complicate than it sounds. Because you attach the softbox with velcro, if you attach it so that if fits on the light perfectly you are actually blocking a few rows of lights with the back side of the softbox. So what we do is put the top of the light inside of the softbox so that the batteries actually end up holding it up on the light. The only problem with this is that the softbox is then pointing the outgoing light slightly upward. We correct that by simply tilting the light down a little bit. Not sure if this makes sense without the product in your hands but keep reading because it doesn't matter.All of that really isn't a problem because once you have it situated and you turn the light on you see that the softbox works great! Still allows a decent amount of light through while softening it quite nicely and greatly reducing the shadows created by the HR672S & W LED lights.The best part of this softbox is how mobile it is. Folds up incredibly small and sets up in a matter of seconds. We are a very mobile video production company and being able to save time on set is great. Setting up lighting can take a long time but with LED lights and this softbox you can be set up in a couple minutes. And it folds down into a pocket sized little bag in a couple seconds. That mobility and quick set up is important to us and for that reason alone this softbox gets 5 stars. We will be buying more.

This diffuser is just what I needed; I have large umbrellas, softboxes, etc but for a small vlogging set up these things are just too big. This diffuser spreads the light out quite nicely yet remains small. I'm using it with the Neewer 660 LED panel (with barn doors) and it works great. I bought this D-Fuse version over the similar Neewer item because this one is a little bigger and I thought I might need the bigger size for a different light in the future. The Neewer light is a tad small for the opening but I knew this before buying. Opening the barn doors completely prevents most light from spilling out the back and it all works fine together.The quality seems good, but I can imagine that over time the support poles will eventually rip the fabric as when they are taut they brace the unit by pushing directly against the fabric overlying the inner brace structure. I think for this price, this is what you get. It doesn't seem like it will tear imminently, it just seems like an area of design weakness that over time will give way. Until then, I'm perfectly satisfied with the unit at the price point I bought it at. Honestly, even if it did rip at that point a little, it wouldn't prevent use of the item.As others have pointed out, once the diffuser is on the LED panel, you can't really tilt the panel forward anymore as the diffuser rests up against the lightstand preventing it from tilting. I just put an elbow joint, the kind you might use to attach an umbrella to a stand, for example, between the lightstand and the LED and now it can tilt freely. No problem.When you're done it folds up into a tiny little circular pouch for storage.

This diffusion soft box is pretty handy and compact. It is perfect for softening hard light and minimizes shadows nicely. The only problem I see is that the opening in the back that the light fits through is relatively large which does not fit snugly around the light. I bought this kit to use with the LED GVM 480LS lights. In order for me to use this kit effectively with those lights is to connect the barn doors, open them as wide as possible then use the Velcro straps that come with the diffusion kit to connect it to the light. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because of this and because some light can still bounce out of the back taking needed light away from the subject, but it isn't ineffective as a diffuser. In fact it helps the light spread much wider than the light without it helping to light the mise en scene with less light fixtures. Great little buy for the price

The only complaint that I have about this, is that much like a folding map, it is not always the easiest to fold back into the bag! But as far as functionality, it’s great. Does anyone know if there is a smaller one available? I would love to have one to carry in my purse!

My Dracast 1000 didn’t come with a soft box, and their version was super expensive. I wasn’t even sure I would use it much so I didn’t purchase it. When I decided I should try to use one, I cam across this product.It is wonderful for my needs. It comes in a conveniently compact carrying case with a hand strap. When you pull it out, it pops open like a reflector and these magnetic poles snap together to form a rigid box. Stretchy bungee straps wrap over the back of your light to secure it to the box. The effect is the standard soft light look you expect from such a product. When I’m done, I simply unattach the straps and twist the soft box back up flat and tuck it away into its carrying pouch. Tip: I found it was easier to remove the barn doors from my light before installing this to make it easier to use.This is a great universal soft box for a 12x12 light that needs a gentle hand to soften the light for that polished look.

This my second one of these and am very happy with their construction and quality of the silk itself. I'm using these on my Dracast Flexible 1x1 LED lights which have no barn doors. I bought these Soft Boxes knowing this, and that it would be a bit of a rig to make it fit - which it was (tilting the light is a bit cumbersome, but with some adjustment with additional Velcro straps, I made it work). I'm giving it 5 stars because of the build quality, the quality of the diffusion is nice, the fact that they are as advertised, and the fairly low cost. I also like that they fold up so small and fit nicely in my Dracast soft bags. Overall, very happy with these.
