SPEEDLIGHT PORTRAITS! A super easy, and inexpensive MAIN LIGHT! But, how good are these modifiers?

Portrait master, Tim Kelly continues his search for the best small, lightweight gear for his location kit. Now, he unpacks and tests a 43" SAVAGE UMBRELLA SOFTBOX for review. How well does this budget modifier work? Test images are made with a Godox V1 in it, and a second V1 speedlight for illuminating the background.
The goal was not a creative portrait, but analyzing the potential quality of light, value, ease of use and function. This video will illustrate the pros and cons of this modifier type.
