Step 9Done!
This finished softbox works best with the speedlight pointed into the back of it (produces most even illumination). If you stop down to a really low aperture, you can see the shadow of the lightstand/speedlight in the face of the softbox, but this is pretty minor.
Additionally you can point the head of your speedlight UP towards to top of the softbox to create assymetrical lighting similar to what you would get out of a striplight.
Another variation is that you do not have to make this thing square either, if you want a rectangular softbox, you can easily modify these plans to do so.
In the end you have a collapsable softbox, that uses te original locking mechanism to hold it open, that is compatible with speedlights, and mounts on a standard lightstand. Total cost $23.
Enjoy!

Very nice! Looks like some serious sewing, but I bet some fabric tape would do the trick for those of us not too good at sewing...
