Check out the Photoflex Litedome Platinum Softbox...

My Photoflex softbox is by far one of my favorite lighting tools, and of all the gear I own, it is the one borrowed the most by my photography friends.

Right now not only does Adorama have the Photoflex Litedome Platinum Softbox on sale ($127), it also comes with a free grid (a $99 value), AND free shipping!

It durable, portable, comes with a 6 year warranty and the following features:

• Removable Face - adjust the natural, soft light to create just the right diffusion
• Removable Baffle - helps eliminate hotspots
• White interior panels
• Quick Release Corners - creates stronger corners and makes it easier to break down
• Suspension loops - suspends the light without Boom/Boom Stand
• Carry Bag - included for easy storage and transport
• Free grid - attaches to the face for better control and create different lighting effects

If you want to see the kind of lighting/images you can get from using grids be sure to check out this post from the seminar that we held with photographer Joel Grimes (here are just a few,click to view larger in a separate window, you can also find more images from the seminar here).

Below is our video review/demo of the Photoflex LiteDome ES, it is also on sale (with free shipping) and comes with Speedlight/Speedlite mounting hardware (with two cold shoe mounts, one for your flash and the other for the trigger), along with a light stand bracket (which also works nicely as a handheld device) and carry bag.

The Photoflex LiteDome ES is compact and so portable that it will fit in most large camera bags.
