'Illuminate Mate Octabox' Double Softbox Lighting Kit

Great lights but difficult to secure open

These are the first lights I've purchased and I'm pretty happy with them so far. The only thing that I don't like about them was the difficulty with the action securing the umbrella to the open position, and for that reason I really don't feel inclined to dismantle them which kind of defeats the purpose of them being portable. Otherwise, they serve the purpose.
