Hello! I am trying to select appropriate Foldable Sofboxes and Octabox. I am going to take them out of studio with me a lot, so, size and weight (when they are collapsed) is very important to me. I've checked PDF's on site, but didn't find this info. Can somebody give me this information? Best regards, Boris |

All of them are about 8" in diameter due to the integral speedring. Length when folded is as follows: FSB1036=21" FSB2436=26" FSB3240=30" FSB3060=44" FSB35=15" FSB47=20" (*edited, this was originally stated as "FSB37") |

The integrated speedring stays perpendicular to the shafts of the 'box. This means that they do not fit compactly. The tradeoff of collapsible 'boxes vs traditional ones is this: Advantage: Much, much faster to set up. Disadvantage: A little heavier, and bulkier when collapsed. For travel, my inclination might be to go for traditional-style 'boxes, or to forego 'boxes entirely in favor of other modifiers such as diffused PLMs. |

Boris is correct, I have changed the original post to reflect correct part numbers. |
