Any good? Total junk?

I own the Cowboy Studio Softbox Lighting Kit. Which appears to be made of the same materials. I don't have any experience with the PBL line. But they look great if that "EZ" setup thing actually works. The cowboy studio softboxes are a friggin pain to setup.

I bought about 8 of these for a greenscreen job a while back and surprisingly, have been using them quite a bit. I expected them to be really cheap and never planned on using them after the one job, but they're still performing fine. Not junk.

Yeah, I agree with Chris. If you need cheap daylight balanced lighting, they're not bad.

thanks for the replies - how easy/difficult to setup? Do they transport well?
