Godox 12"x47" / 30x120cm Softbox, Grid Strip Softbox, Bowens Mount Softbox for Photo Studio Flash Compatible Godox VL150II VL300II SL60W SL60IID SK400II DP400III DP600III QT600III (FW 30x120(1PCS))

I started doing "still life" type shoots more seriously a few months back, and while I have several small round and square soft boxes, I decided that I needed a small rectangular strip box, so picked out and ordered this one. I have always liked Godox, so felt comfortable ordering this one, and I am quite pleased with it and it's construction. Assembling this soft box was the usual hassle, but there are only 4 spring wire rods to deal with in this one, so considerably less hassle. I found that using a Golf Tee to open the rod pockets in the 4 corners saved a lot of the usual trouble. The pockets are always flat and stiff when new. These golf tees made it easy I used them again to open the loops half way down the rods that keep the rods from bowing. The Bowens center hub is kind-of universal, so it has rod holes for many different soft box patterns. Finding the right 4 to use with this soft box took a bit of experimenting, but I'm getting better at this. Putting the 1/2 way diffuser in was also similar to assembly of the diffusers in other soft boxes, but fortunately there only 4 hooks to snap onto the elastic loops in this soft box. I haven't used it yet, but just to be certain that the Bowens mount would connect to my lights the same as my other soft boxes, I did try several lights in it and they all connected to this one perfectly. Last year I had bought a similar sized soft box, but it had a wire frame that crossed too close over the hole where the lights attach, making it impossible to use with the long modeling light bulbs in my studio strobes. Maybe for an LED modeling light, but not the regular bulbs. So I had to return that one. This isn't a problem at all with this strip box. There is nothing in the way for the standard modeling lights in this strip box.

I really like the Softbox. It will be a great asset to my studio shoot. Pros: Lighting is awesome! Looks great! I said in an earlier review that it was missing the Honeycomb, but I was wrong. It fell out and was amongst my other photo gear. Gave 4 stars instead of 3. Cons: Not easy to pull apart once I put it together. Not as portable as I would like it to be, but not a problem.

Love it! I am so happy with this purchase. Yes, the first-time assembly was not smooth, but I just keep in stored now under bad and will not disassemble it. If you do choose to disassemble it after each shoot, I am sure you'll get quicker with it with each time. I love the grids that direct light, which eliminate greatly the light shining straight onto camera.

It was tough to admit that I needed to get the smaller version of the strip boxes, but reading reviews taught me that they’re annoying to disassemble. With that in mind, I decided to keep them assembled, but also fit them in a storage spot reasonably, which meant that 48” was too long for my closet shelf. This has been working out for storage, and I think 35” in decent enough for most hobbyists anyways. Since my other soft boxes top out at 24”, the 35” strip boxes have come in handy as a key light when I need to wrap and feather light across a larger area. I think people underestimate how useful these can be in horizontal orientation, especially in a home studio with limited ceiling height. These can let you get the wide spread in one direction, whilst also angling downward from higher up before smacking your ceiling. You can stack two of them (probably with a boom) and create an 18x35” soft box if necessary. So yeah, these are for more than just rim lighting. As vertical strips, they’re juuuuust tall enough, I’d say. My few knocks on them are: - build quality is maybe a B or B+ at best. Not terrible, but these aren’t going to take a professional level beating and last. -they’re only marginally cheaper than the 48”. I can only see someone needing these if space is an issue, or for portability -set up is annoying, as others have said. It’s like a setting up a frustrating tent. Even when you have it figured out, I don’t think it’s worth the effort to break them down between shoots. They’re lightweight. Give them their own shelf.

Great! Easy to put together, great carrying case, lightweight. The system they created to open the softbox up is brilliant. I have some where you have to try and fit the rods into the metal Bowen mount ring and every time I use them I want to scream and throw them out. I seriously wish I had found these softboxes years ago.

As described, it was harder to put together than I care to admit but once it got set up it was nice to have

Love these strip boxes for their quality construction, ease of assembly, and quick set-up/breakdown on the go. Perfect as edge lights, hair light, background lighting, and/or paired in a set for clamshell portrait lighting. And unlike a lot of modifiers these days, it comes with the grid for greater spill control.

I used this for a shoot outside at dusk where I was photographing models and cars. It was a low light situation and I used the strobes and Godox RGB wand light that I also purchased from this seller. Shipping was lightning fast and I don't even have prime. Seller was great to work with and answered all of questions within 12 hours. I was impressed by the soft box from day one. I wish I had another one, because they do well as a pair at 45º angles but I used this as a horizontal car light and then as a backlight with warm/red gels. This is a staple in my portable studio kit. Perfect size and manageable. Folds down into my umbrella case (it has its own case of course but they both fit in my larger long bag). Eventually looking to get two AD200's from Godox and another rectangular modifier so I can use them regularly. It also fits the Godox universal S-type mount bracket and I can use this soft box with my cheap off camera flash-Neewer brand speedlight.

bon produit, toile solide. Baleines un peu trop solides même, un peu de mal pour les insérer, faut forcer un peu

Macht was es soll, bei Produktfotografie nicht zu gebrauchen, aber bei Portrait sehr hilfreich, Achtung das Gitter ist nicht Hitzeresistent eines davon ist mir geschmolzen, aber nur durch direkte Berührung mit der Modellierlampe dies würde ich also nicht empfehlen. aber ansonsten würde ich die Boxen wiederkaufen und jedem empfehlen!

Cumple totalmente con mis expectativas. Es importante ver el vídeo explicativo de cómo se monta, que aparece en la página de Amazon, porque no viene con instrucciones de montaje. Pero viendo el vídeo no hay problemas.

Jammer dat ze nu bijna 2x zo duur zijn als toen ik ze kocht voor 2 weken geleden
