Very interesting and I admire your sewing skills and patience.
Great Idea! Thanks for sharing. ^_^
You're most welcome.
I have the same problem with rods sliding out of both the speedring & the softbox been thinking about just using some epoxy glue and see if that would work, I'm not up for dinking around with a needle and thread.
Though that is an easier solution, i'm thinking though that any hardening glue on a flexible and movable parts shall cause separation later on and may actually be more of a pain later. It's your investment.
Just a check-in, Marlo - how has this held up in the last year? Still using it? Yours is one of the few videos I've been able to find about this deep octa. I ordered one, but I'm a little nervous that the quality might disappoint once it eventually arrives. I've had some experience with the much more expensive Westcott Zeppelin, which is really solid. I appreciate the Jinbei for its Elinchrome-style speed ring (the Zeppelin is a monster to construct.) I'd love to hear about your experience with it several months later.
James Jordan i'm primarily using it in studio. I have the Glow parapop i use outdoors. So having said that my deep octa is still in good shape. I am happy with the quality of light it gives me. It is a pretty durable softbox with some care in it's use.
Marlo Oronce - Good to hear. Thanks Marlo!
Marky Mark i like using the Glowparapop outdoors for easy setup. I can open it fully in a few seconds and close it as quickly. Not so well with the Jinbei i do prefer the light of the Jinbei however but you really need someone holding it to shoot outdoors. It is a big sail and prone to getting knocked off.
wo hast du gekauft? Speedring?
Don't they pop out of the mount plate as well? I have a Jinbey Beauty Dish and unlike you I have a problem with the other end :)
same here.
The rods on mine are mechanically pinned to the ring plate so I don't have this problem on this one.
Muresan Bogdan u mean the umbrella Style BD? or the regular BD series from Jinbei Tnx
Hello. I wanted to ask you if i can buy this product from Alibaba. All i can find are umbrella type. Thanks.
Alex M i just ordered this through ebay, so not sure with Alibaba
Thanks for your response. I am asking because on the internet you find it umbrella like and in your video it is like elinchrom. Thanks
Alex M definitely not umbrella. It's a deep octa with bowens mount too. Here's a link of what i found at ebay at this time. I like this one for it comes with the grid. Hope this helps you.
Look at this on eBay:

Jinbei 120cm Deep Octa Softbox With Grid Diameter 120cm for Jinbei Bowens mount
Many thanks! Yes, it helps alot! Thank you again :)
Marlo Oronce, where did you buy this at & prices?
It should fit onto HD-610?
i got it off ebay for around $185. It uses the Bowens mount and from the looks of it your HD-610 is a Bowens mount so that should work. I use my 38" Glow ParaPop more now though. $229.95 from Adorama
So would the Jinbei be 47" (120cm) while the Glow ParaPop is 38"?
Those two numbers are from the front opening, right?
Yes, you are correct. Don't get me wrong, I still love using this Jinbei 47" Octa in studio. I do however use the 38" ParaPop more both indoors and out. I'm waiting for a larger version of Glow ParaPop to come out, for the light weight and ease of setup and takedown that it offers.
My staff and I have been using this made by ATG for Selens:
* 60"
* Uses on Bowens Mount like ATG Gold 1,000ws (2x power of B1)
* Selens 60 Inch 16 Rods Portable Umbrella Brolly Reflector Octagon
Softbox with Bowens Mount
* Great prices
If it get damages, I won't cry.
So would 60" do for you, Marlo Oronce?
