Andoer Godox SB-UE 80cm / 31.5in Portable Octagon Honeycomb Grid Umbrella Speedlite Softbox with Bowens Mount

I need this for video for my lights that require Bowens fitting - this is much sturdier than I was expecting for the money and I already know and use some Andoer bits and pieces already so that may give an idea of just what good value I think this is. 2 things, one I'm ordering second to go with a new Aputure light and second, I have a bit of a gripe with this. It was a bugger to put together, each umbrella rod needs to go through three sets of material and getting those apart to get the metal rod through is less than easy - the end is result is well worth the effort but I wish they'd made it easier. Thankfully once made it rolls into its nice carrying bag without needing dismantling.

Very good quality, easy to put on and easy to work with. Excellent product.

This is well made overall. It's a bit fiddly to assemble the first time but you only have to do that once. After that it's just a matter of opening it like an umbrella and putting the diffusion material in place and (optionally) fixing the egg crate. It takes 10-15 minutes to do the initial setup and then erecting it and fitting the diffusers takes a couple of minutes.The Bowens mount adapter is loose and rotates. There is a nut which is supposed to clamp it and stop it rotating. This works by trapping the edge of the adapter with a washer. Unfortunately the washer is slightly too small. This means that you think you've fixed the adapter but when you try to mount the thing on a light it slips out as you are twisting the softbox. The proper solution is to replace the washer with a larger one. However you can fold back the material at the base of the softbox and hold the adapter and the speedring and mount it on the light without it rotating.

It's relatively easy to set up, once I did it once, just kept the umbrella and stored it in a bag it came in. Would be great if the bag had long strap.Used it with constant light (Aputure 120D mkII) and it looked fine.

The media could not be loaded. A great addition to my Godox lights. Fits perfect and shades the light just how I want it. It’s a bit fidgety to place it into the godox light head but once you get the grip of it it’s effortless. Nice buy

Will break after 7 months. Both the honeycomb and the white reflector. Do not buy and avoid this seller as they would not accept a refund. Worst product I've ever purchased in 10 years

Not exactly the nicest to take down / set up. Everything feels a bit cheap. But it works and it can be put away after a bit of work.

I'm very happy with this softbox. It works well and feels very sturdy. Would buy it again in a heartbeat.
