Halo Mono Softbox (45")

I was worried about storage space, but this collapses so small it fits in my camera bag. The 180-degree light spread really softens the shadows nicely for portraits.

Setup was a breeze with the quick-release mechanism. The 180º light spread gave my portraits a beautifully even, soft wrap-around light. For the size it collapses to, this is surprisingly sturdy in use.

Collapses down so small I almost mistook it for my regular rain umbrella in the bag, and it sets up in under a minute. The 45-inch size gives a beautifully soft, even falloff on the face—perfect for a single strobe portrait setup.
