The 120cm Recessed Standard Octagonal Softbox Lighting for Video with Grid, is a versatile and affordable light modifier, designed to produce beautifully soft, directional lighting. This softbox features a highly reflective interior, which helps to maximise light efficiency, all whilst producing beautiful directional lighting, with natural-looking fall off. The Softbox ships in a slim profiled carrying case and can be assembled in a couple of minutes. This softbox can be used for a wide range of shooting scenarios, such as still life, portrait, commercial, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, food, product, or macro photography.
Octagonal softboxes, (sometimes referred to as “Octaboxes”) are especially popular amongst portrait photographers and cinematographers who specialise in shooting people. Octaboxes produce soft wrapping lighting, with natural-looking fall-off, which is very difficult to emulate using traditional rectangular softboxes. Since Octaboxes don’t have a long-straight edge, they produce a soft, wrapping quality of light, with gradual light fall-off from highlights to shadows. Their octagonal shape also produces pleasing and more natural-looking round catchlights in the eyes of your subject. Perfect for use as a main light, or a fill light.
The 120cm Standard Octagonal Softbox Lighting for Video features an outer skin made from a hard-wearing fabric and has a frame consisting of four durable rods, inserted into a durable metal alloy ring. This makes the softbox extremely lightweight, yet strong. Excellent durability, for an affordable price.
The 120cm Standard Octagonal Softbox Lighting for Video features a highly reflective interior and black exterior. The reflective interior is designed to bounce the light around the interior of the softbox to maximise light efficiency. The black exterior of the fabric prevents light leakage from your light source and absorbs any stray exterior light which may otherwise contaminate the purity of your Lightsource.
The 120cm Recessed Octagonal Softbox Lighting for Video features two layers of diffusion, enabling the softbox to produce soft, homogenous lighting over the entire front surface of the softbox, with minimal hotspots. They also help to reduce specularity on your subject.
This Softbox Lighting for Video also includes a 5cm honeycomb Grid (Also known as an egg-crate), designed to narrow the spread of light, giving you more control over its direction. Perfect for times when you don’t want the light to spill onto certain areas of your scene such as the background etc.
The 120cm Recessed Octagonal softbox features an interchangeable speedring, enabling it to be used with a wide range of studio light brands. If you want to use this softbox with a light with a different fitting, simply switch the adapter ring located in the centre of the speedring. This is perfect for photographers or videographers who use multiple lighting brands or may switch brands in the future. This softbox is available in multiple fittings such as Bowens S-Type, Elinchrom, Broncolor, Profoto and much more. (Please refer to the compatibility table at the bottom of the description for more information)
The 120cm Standard Octagonal Softbox Lighting for Video ships with its own slim profiled carrying case, making it ideal for transportation. Since everything packs flat, it takes up very little space in your storage room or lighting kit bag
