In my newest video I compared the 6 different softbox options available from Cheetah.

This includes the Quick SoupBowl (QSB-26, QSB-34, QSB-42), Quick RiceBowl (QRB-36, QRB-48) and Max20.

There’s plenty of details in the video as well as my take on the difference, but I wanted to use an article as a place where people could view the images at their own speed.
