I have a 24″ softball but it doesn’t seem as portable as the 24′ speedbox that Nick used for his shots. He showed it in the video and it was black with yellow ribs. There was no brand visible. Can you tell me which one he used? Also, on the video where he showed his assistant holding it up over the couple in the water, it did not seem like the same speedbox but rather a very small umbrella. Can you explain, Nick?
