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

build quality , very well made ease of assemble

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 box gives some of the best light I’ve seen for single portrait, medium sized product even at slightly further distances than you’d expect. However build quality is very poor and it's impossible to tighten the mount ring to fix the modifier to the light. Up to now I've been really happy with Godox gear, especially their lighting equipment but this was the first and last time I've bought one of their modifiers. I feel quite disappointed as they have always been a company I recommend to others. Since writing the above I’ve learnt to take a paper clip with me to move the washer towards the nut. I think I feel more frustrated than anything else because the light from this box with the grids on is wonderfully soft and directional. It’s very easy to put up and down and it also works quite well as a deep umbrella, but this isn’t my first choice in how to use it. If asked if I could recommend the modifiers I’m hesitant as it isn’t right and reading other comments I’m not the only one who has had these problems. However, I’ve given it another star.

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

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.

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.

So good 💯

Muy buena calidad, el montaje es complicado y tedioso como todos los octa de este estilo, lo bueno es que se puede plegar con un paraguas, lo que le permite guardarse sin desarmar. Eso si, no está amarrado por lo que las varas se pueden salir al guardarse, de resto todo increíble!

BUONO

This light helped me to get my picture so nice and professional
