Overview

The Lastolite by Manfrotto Joe McNally Ezybox Hotshoe is a purpose-built softbox that attaches directly to a hotshoe speedlight, transforming harsh on-camera or off-camera flash into soft, wraparound illumination. Measuring 54 x 54 cm, it offers a significantly larger diffusion area than mini softboxes and bounce cards, producing more flattering light for portraits, events, and editorial work. The Ezybox framework pops open and locks into shape without tools or speed rings, making setup fast enough for run-and-gun shooting scenarios.

Developed in collaboration with photographer Joe McNally — widely known for his creative multi-flash techniques — this modifier reflects a practical, field-tested approach to portable lighting. The entire assembly folds flat when not in use, slipping into a bag alongside the rest of your kit. Its lightweight build means your light stand or flash bracket isn't burdened with excessive weight, and the internal silver lining helps maximize the output of smaller speedlight flashes by efficiently directing light forward through the diffusion panel.
