The 120x180cm umbrella softbox is an easy-to-use modifier which mounts to the front of your studio flash strobe or continuous LED light, to produce soft-even lighting.

Being over two square metres in size, the 120x180cm softbox produces ultra-soft lighting and is perfect for use in a wide variety of applications. Because of its large size, it is capable of evenly illuminating full-body shots, even at short distances from the subject. Also, due to its large rectangular size, it is perfect for emulating window light, enabling you to easily take shots that look like they have been taken in natural light. It is also great for illuminating large subjects such as cars from above (works especially well when paired with a large scrim).
This softbox can also be used as a pure-white background for portraits, Headshots, Beauty, and Product photography.

It will save you precious time, with highly robust build-quality it offers an easy and effortless solution to setting up your softbox, particularly well-suited for outdoor and on-location use.

The 120x180cm softbox compromises of high-quality strong rods which slot into the hardwearing nylon material which softens your light source without altering the colour temperature. These all attach to an external mount ring which mounts the light fitting on the outside of the softbox, allowing for easy access to your flash, strobe or Speedlite with easy access to controls, or utilizing the line-of-sight from your slave trigger.

PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the softbox only and does not include a light.
PLEASE NOTE: For GODOX fitting we would not recommending using the CITI300/AD300 with the umbrella softboxes over 120cm in size. This is due to the fitting of CITI300/AD300 which may not offer strong enough support for larger softboxes. If you are planning to use a larger softbox on CITI300/AD300, we would recommend going for the Speedlite fitting option as it will include our Smart Bracket. With this option you will also have the benefit that it will allow you to move the light within the softbox, creating different effects.

.You can use either flash with this softbox, however, you will be able to shoot from further away with the SK400.
If you do use the PIKA200/AD200, be sure to use the bare bulb head, as it will fill the softbox with light better.

Producing a pure white background can be quite tricky, but in this blog we will go through another options or possible solution that will not only produce almost pure white results but can be done using something that is widely available, a softbox.
Sunday 11th April marks the 10th Anniversary of PiXAPRO! In this blog post, we take a look back over the past 10 years to see just how far we have come.
Photography can be considered an expensive profession as it requires a significant initial investment in equipment such as cameras, lighting, and the overall setup.
Renting out photography equipment isn't uncommon these days, with more students, amateurs and hobbyists getting involved in a profession that costs a lot to get started in.
Our Easy Open Softboxes are much like many other softboxes you can find on the market, but they have a handy feature that makes them much easier to use. The umbrella mechanism inside the softbox means you can push the softbox open to fully set it up and lock it, making it sturdy, secure and efficient!
