I often use the 24" (60x60cm) Ezybox softbox and now got this smaller (8.6") version.
Box is very fast to assemble. It pops into shape quickly and is attached to speedlight with double velcros. That makes it faster to take into use and break down than bigger Ezyboxes that requires assembling metallic speedring for flash. Softbox can be stored collapsed in familiar blue Lastolite bag.
Box comes with silver interior and two diffusion fabrics that can be attached quickly by velcros. While the light source is not that big with this box, it can be easily hand held with flash and when placed close to subject delivers smooth light. I am going to use this with coming photo shoots and maybe post here few samples more how the box works for portrait photos.
Two sample photos below
Bare SB-800 camera left about 30cm from the balloons.
SB-800 + Lastolite Ezybox Speed-lite. Notice the much softer shadows and square shaped reflection.
