For me the hardest part is quickly assemble a softbox when I change my place for a photo shoot, and these Raya Octa Soft Box are very easy to assemble and transport, produce very good light when they are in zenith position. An opcional Grid would be incredible.

Doesn't have a cheap feel, and quality of light is beautiful. I'm switching from soft boxes to octaboxes because of this. Somewhat hard to assemble, but that's ok.

Ive used Arri panels on set and now I see litepanels everywhere, and yes you of obviously going to get more with those other brands, especially in the build quality. But for these lights being the 999$ they are nuts. I would say you could do 70-80% of what a 2x1 litepnale could do, but for 1/5 of the cost. They are super bright. I liked these so much I bought 2 more.

Moderately easy to set up, lightweight, easy to use, and puts out tons of light.

Super smooth set up, solid build quality, light weight but SURELY rugged, and the height is GREAT without needing to manage “multiple” stages. I needed a set of sticks to replace a set of Cartoni’s system that I acquired… and I didn’t want to pair the Cartoni head with yet another set of Monfotto sticks (I already had 4. Super sidebar…. The 504 is the best head of all time for the price range!! Discontinued… such heartbreak!!). This tripod system… GREAT CALL! GREAT BUY! My order came with a slew of additional parts (ground spreaders and mid teir brackets as options for shooting styles (phenomal way to extend the functionalities of the system) and a solid carry bag too. The turning knobs to lock the system are snug and secure… and very easy to set when you need to move swiftly, or get them locked with confidence if your reach and grip isn’t initially “fully on it” when trying to set it. They set securely with ease!

Con: The ONLY one… which is admittedly petty, but I wish the handles of the carry bag weren’t in the center because the tripod head makes the bag’s weight unevenly distributed. If the straps were sewn-in off center, it would better off-set the uneven weight of the assembled tripod.

Enjoy these sticks !!!

Yes, it can be finicky at first, but I now keep these folded up with the sticks in their little loops, I place the speed ring inside the soft box on the silver side, and then attach the sticks in opposing order, meaning: One at the top, then one at the bottom, then one at the left, then one at the right. If you do this, it's not much more complicated to set up than a Chimera, it's just that your crew won't be used to it and you will have to show them once, then everyone gets it. Quality of the light is great, it's lightweight and small and the octagon reflection in the eyes of talent is exactly what you want. Oh, and great value for money. I might buy more...

This is the best deal for a 50lb+ capacity carbon fiber tripod. We are filming with larger camera rigs, over 20 pound and the Manfroto 546B can't handle that load. We purchased the Sirui BCT-3202 from B&H flash sale for $350 and with a $50 rebate. The first thing we noticed is how light the Sirui BCT-3202 compared to the Manfroto 546B. The Sirui BCT-3202 is rock solid, holds our rig with no creeping or movement and handles vibrations better. The Sirui BCT-3202 is a great deal, for under $1000 this tripod is a steal. Our only regret is that we did not buy more for the $350 price. At the $589 price the
Sirui BCT-3202 can compete with tripods in the $2000 price range.

First I would like to applaud the built quality, secondly the weight, and lastly the price! When I first saw the light online I had my doubts but when i got to set up I was baffled at the quality Trigyn has really done a great job. I do wish the cords were longer or a bracket to hold the power brick (got my light on a 13’ stand) & a more detailed manual.

Fits the light well, provides a smooth light source

Love these! They work great. Awesome deal, so I bought 2. Putting them together was like building a complicated tent on vacation when you're arguing with your family, but that's not any different than any other one on the market, and I'm sure I was part of the problem in both cases. I'm very pleased overall :)
