Quick Release Softbox with Pop-Up System and Grid – Flexible Light for Photo & Video

The quick-release softbox with a pop-up system and grid produces a soft, natural light and is ideal as a key light for fashion, portrait, and fashion photography. It creates a natural-looking catchlight in the eyes and ensures even illumination of the subject.

Flexible lighting design for fashion, portrait & fashion photos

Used as a key light, the softbox creates a soft and natural-looking light that flatters skin tones and produces a pleasant catchlight in the eyes. This makes it a versatile tool for targeted subject illumination – whether in fashion, portrait, or fashion photography. The combination of the standard diffusers and the included grid gives you control to precisely tailor the light to your subject.

Quick-Fold Mechanism

Thanks to the pop-up system with quick release, the rods can be set up quickly and easily, so that the light modifier is immediately ready for use in the studio or on the go. For assembly, the rods are tensioned until they audibly click into place, then the softbox is mounted on the light source – most easily by tensioning opposing rods one after the other. Disassembly is just as easy: the individual rods are slightly lifted at the speedring base, the corresponding button is pressed, and the rod is then released. The included Bowens S-Type bayonet also ensures compatibility with many battery and studio flashes as well as LED continuous lights.

Silver interior for soft, higher-contrast light

The silver interior of the light modifier creates a soft, higher-contrast light with slightly harder shadows. The two translucent diffusers allow for soft, diffused light that is evenly distributed over the subject. The inner diffuser reduces the creation of a brighter light area in the center of the image, while the outer diffuser enlarges the luminous surface and spreads the light further. Both minimize distracting reflections on glossy surfaces – a clear advantage in portrait and product photography. The included black grid additionally bundles the light more strongly towards the center of the image, reduces scattered light, and darkens the edge areas without changing the soft light character.

Robust design for reliable use

Thanks to its quick readiness for use and robust, durable construction, the softbox is a reliable partner for flexible lighting. It is designed for daily use in the studio as well as for changing conditions on the go and maintains its stability even with frequent assembly and disassembly.

Ideal for studio and on location

When closed, the light modifier is slim and space-saving and can be easily transported in photo luggage. This makes the softbox ideal for mobile use and can be conveniently taken to shoots. For use outside the studio or for space-saving storage, the softbox and accessories can be stowed in the included carrying bag.

Note: For softboxes larger than 120 cm, it is recommended not to use them with the SPARK or DM flash series, as the flash head's tilt lock may not withstand the increased weight of the softbox and the flash's tilt may change.
