Speedlite softbox

[rickp1]

I'm looking for a recommendation on a softbox about 24"x24" (approximate) that I can use with 1 or 2 canon speedlites.

thanks

Calumet has some nice ones, not too pricey...also photo flex. You will need a mounting ring for the softbox that attaches to your stand and has one (or more) places to mount your flash. Note that some rings only allow a single orientation so if you get a rectangular box you can't rotate it...
Nice to get a sofxbox that you can add a grid to later...

Depending on how mobile you need it, I use Interfit's 24"x24" softbox. It's not as solid but it collapses down to nothing.

OS,
and you're able to use 1 or 2 speedlites with it? ( based on the right speed ring)

I'm curious about good softboxes for speedliites as well.

edit: here are some suggestions

I asked Matthew Coughlin how he set up his dual-flash softbox and he kindly replied that he simply bungee corded them to the speedring. these are the only other ones i've seen and they are horizontal.

edit2: also the foursquare

The speed right isn't very big: The opening on the softbox isnt either. I dont know if you could fit much more than 1 in there. My SB-800 takes up most of the opening as it is.

Ive never needed to, though, if that's your concern.

If you don't mind the flashes being inside the softbox, you might want to give the Westscott Apollos a look.

Why not look into a speedlight to Bowens adapter ring mount? It'd open up a few doors. If you want something that'll tear down quick, and don't mind an octabox, there's the brolly box (bounce, not shoot through) to consider.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look.
