Price looks good for its size. When I want hex or octogon effect I use an umbrella, all my softboxes are rectangular or square so I cannot give any hands on report.

I have a 48" x 72" Photoflex Softbox with a Softgrid. My smallest is a 12" x 12" for a hair light. My favorites are the 24" x 36" Softboxes, I have 2. I don't even use any of them anymore as all I do these days is wildlife, I used to use my lighting system for glamour photography.

I love shooting kids. I have two beautiful girls 13 and 11 they are always bringing friends over for photo shoots which is how i get my practice so I definitely need lighting for that kind of shooting I am Looking into a few different things From a lot of tutorials the large octagon seemed to be extremely popular. I have Scott Kelbys Light IT Shoot It and Retouch It book and he's big on the octagon .....I have a simple starter lighting kit that came with two umbrellas and one small soft box plus lights....

I own the great big Paul C Buff parabolic umbrella but it was $69.95 but probably a better constructed system than what you are looking at. If it were me, I would go for the next larger one... Flashpoint 16-Rib 64" Parabolic Silver Umbrella because it has many more ribs for shape than the 60 inch which I think only has eight ribs.

They do an 80 incher too but I don't know how much that is, but boy that would throw a lot of light for you. The parabolics give a nice look to the eyes, more of a glamour look to the little sparkling white highlight spot in the eyes.

How high is the ceiling where you're shooting? That's a factor also. You will be shooting sometimes at downward angles and if you have an 8ft ceiling....aint gonna happen with a big softbox
