5They don't call it Big Mama for nothing
By JohnInCO
This is a GREAT softbox. The price sort of hurts since it's like an umbrella but this softbox really gets the job done. It's light, durable, and give soft, diffused light on your subjects. I like working it with a speedlight or with my Einstein. It's sort of a pain to have to adjust your speed because you have to reach inside the thing to do it (which is why I need to memorize the placement of the dials on the SB-900 so I can do this without looking at it). One complaint you will hear a lot is that you can't get it down to the floor to shoot kids sitting down. Just don't put your lightstand through the zippered hold and the problem is solved! This is a great speedlight. I also have the Paul C Buff Giant softbox and I prefer this much much much more.

550" Westcott Apollo my Fave
By George H. Holt
The 50" Westcott Apollo Softbox is an awesome light modifier. Out of all my light modifiers the the 50" Apollo is my favorite. I use it with Studio Strobes and Speed lights. When using speed lights I usually will mount 2-3 flashes in side on a bracket manly for quicker recycle time. With a single 580EXII I can get about f5.6 @ about 40" and ir produces window like quality light! I like the control I get with this softbox, it is nicely recessed and makes it very easy to feather your light. The biggest draw back with this apollo is that you can"t get much angle on the box on a standard light stand. I use a Paul C. Buff "BABY BOOMER" offset arm. the offset arm allows for plenty of angle. [...] I would recommend this softbox for anyone that love pretty light!
