Review on Enhance Your Lighting Setup With Kamerar D-Fuse Combo: Large LED Softbox & Grid, 12"X12 by Dennis Chase

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality, Fast Easy Setup, Inexpensive Compared to Alternatives!

These things work great! if you have any kind of LED panel light, these can fit on just about any of them. They don't need any frames or adapters for specific lights. They cut down about a stop or two of light for reference. But they work great to diffuse the light, minimize the little micro shadows inherent to an LED panel light, and work to make it just a little bigger source for softer light. And the optional eggcrate/grid works great to bring the angle of light output down to 20°-30° or so, effectively allowing you to keep your light on your subject and off of your background. Quality is really decent for the price point, I think it will hold up pretty well. I have a couple of buddies that have used them extensively in a pro environment for a few years now, and they are still holding up with minor visible wear. Setup is really easy and fast. Compared to other much more expensive($300-$500!) offerings from Chimera, Wescott and the like, this is faster, easier, more effective, and so much less money.

Pros
  • HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS: D-Fuse is constructed with an unbleached nylon fabric. Unlike processed diffusion materials, these professional materials will soften your light source without changing its color temperature.
Cons
  • The softbox may not diffuse light as effectively as other models on the market
