Are the softboxes adjustable (i.e. have a ring) to break down easily?

Yeah they're mad up of 4 rods and slid into 8 slits inside of the box. You could break all of them down in like five minutes.

Haven't tried that, but we use them in our retail shop and never have had one break. So I just yanked on one as if it was filled with something heavy and it's still holding! They've been great for us! Look good. function well. and great low price! Sometimes if we're concerned cuz we put something super heavy in one, we suggest the customer carry it in their arms like a baby. Hope that helps and Happy selling!!

yes, it's lightweight and super easy to take apart (you just slide off the bottom part of the legs and then fold) keep the box and it'll fit back in easily !

Yes. The lattice is not glued to the sides, so they can be easily removed and altered or discarded. That said, they are also tight enough to the sides so that a kid cant easily hit the box when tipped and have the inserts fall out, or have the inserts fall out when the box is at an angle. The inserts have to be pulled straight up. The middle divider is one long piece slotted together with the three other dividers. To section out one divider, a saw and some glue is an easy fix.

NO .. never can be used with the softbox, which I have. No silver part to hold you metal rods

Nope, this is an ordinary softbox. It performs all the functions of most other softboxes (i.e., diffusing light) and is very collapsible.

The mounting part (l bracket and softbox ring) are made of plastic. same thing for the only thing that is not plastic are the sticks that connect the l bracket to the speedring of the softbox

Not 100% certain, but probably so. The issue comes down to this: How much stress are you putting the ring joint through? A monster, gorilla lifter would certainly stress the joint to the point of breakage. Based on the uniformity of reviews on Amazon I think this set is pretty durable. Not a lot of folks speak of breakage. There is also the warranty.

Yes... this is a Softbox. It just collapses like an umbrella. The flash fires to the back and the light reflects forward through the screen. It does work for me.

Yes, but these are unstable and fall apart quickly. Save up for nicer ones.

They aren't easily assembled. My recommendation is to set them up in a studio. Other than the portability issue, they are great for the money. Stands are sturdy, and the softboxes do just what they should.

No; they are not that flexible. They're made of a hard plastic that has a little "give", but only a very little.

The rings themselves are stiff and strong enough to hold a decent sized toy off the ground. Though it's pretty easy for a young wiggly kid to accidentally pull the rings apart. I recommend linking them two across to help prevent that

It works fine with Einsteins. The carrying bag and grid should be handled carefully but the softbox itself has worked really well through many shoots, overall a bargain.

They are adjustable. I wouldn't waste my money on it though. It isn't very sturdy. I disassembled it and glued it so it's better but it's pretty cheap.

No. The tab is bent quite a bit, and the ring pretty much locks together. At one point, I had to remove the valve I was putting in, and once I cut the ring away with a Dremel, these things were so tight that the valve was deformed enough to where I had even buy a new valve (not a huge deal, but I consider them PERMANENT).

Yes. The box itself can slide up and down a fair amount to accommodate different sized flashes and triggers.
