I appear to have misplaced my westcott reversible brolly... It's got me thinking... Do I replace with another brolly or go for a softbox instead (or as well... funds dependent)

What options do I have in terms of softboxes that are compatible with hotshoe flashes?

I have 2... YN560 and Vivitar285hv

I'd go for the brolly. It is more flexible. You can use it to reflect the light, or shoot through it. And it is also a lot easier to carry.
