Questions & Answers

BRIAN B : How deep is the 55" Octa softbox from front diffusion to where it mounts to strobe? Thanks.
Shopper : Does this Godox softbox work with a different brand strobe?Robert J : Yes but check the type of attachment your strobe uses and then look at a godox strobe that goes with this octaJerry L : As long as the strobe has a Bowens mount.
PETER B : Is this meant for travel or in studio only? Looking for a travel optionNELSON P : Easy to travel comes with a caseJAE THOMAS S : Can be used for both, but if you're looking for a travel specific softbox check out the Glow EZ Lock series.Robert J : Great travel option. I leave the rods in and the light diffuser and baffle on then through it all in a hockey bag with the light stands.Demian S : It comes with a carrying bag and can be taken apart. However, it can be a bit difficult to take apart/put together, and I've had one of these godox soft boxes rip while taking apart (not the most durable/high quality) but still great value.

Hole Guide and Cost Comparison to Profoto

The lack of any instructions is the main reason for the 4/5. For those asking, after some trial-and-error, I was able to figure out the hole pattern for the Bowens ring: ? Square softbox rods (four) go into holes 90° apart - all "1" on the Bowens. ? Octagonal softbox rods (eight) go into holes 45° apart - all "1" and "2" on the Bowens. ? Longer strip softboxes go into holes 45° apart (short edge) and 135° apart (long edge) - alternating "1" and "2" on the Bownes on opposite sides of the ring. ? Shorter strip and rectangular softboxes go into holes 67.5° apart (short edge) and 112.5° apart (long edge) - alternating "1" and "3" on the Bownes on opposite sides of the ring. Once assembled correctly, it seems sturdy. I got the 14"x60" long strip with a Bowens to Profoto adapter because my total cost (with the grid) was $60. Compare that to the Profoto 1'x4' - the newer silver one - and the cost was $700!! (The grid and speedring are sold separately.) So far, the performance is similar, and there's no way I can justify the Profoto premium for light studio work.

Perfect addition to my home studio

Works great, no instructions were included so it was a little tough to assemble the first time, but now that its setup it works just as well any soft box. Included grid is nice and works well, overall very happy.

Great softbox with grid

The softbox + grid came in as expected and worked really well for my projects. The assembling needed a bit more force just the way it's been designed but once it's setup, it's good to use.

Small, packable, works great for one light portraits.

Shocked how well this worked. I was looking for a round parabolic modifier/soft box and came across this. I figured for the price it was worth picking up just out of curiosity. It packs down very small, easy to travel with and you can throw it in as a backup because it's just a little bigger than a laptop when it is packed up. Throws light pretty well, I rotate it into a diamond orientation and the light spill looks good enough.

Works as described - Large soft lighting

I must be an "Vintage Photographer" because it is a nice tool to have and produces soft broad spectrum lighting that makes it very useful. No more difficult to assemble than any other softbox that I have ever used and the build quality is awesome. It has great output from the source and allows for the use of a lower ISO and an aperture that is within the sharp band of a good piece of glass. This softbox will be married to my Tri-flector and a Lightform P-22 to create just the right shadow and catchlights. No complaints from me and highly recommended provided you understand that this is a professional tool and not a play toy.

Very disappointed

Received a torn and bent softbox. I was very disappointed that even when I told customer service, they tried to sell it to me for half price. It was a defective item that was listed in good condition. In the end, the company refunded my money in full. But to try to sell me it for half off was insulting.

Good softbox for the price - requires some assembly

This product is as advertised. Keep in mind, this is not a quick-set-up softbox. This comes with 8 rods that need to be inserted into the ring, which takes a few minutes and a bit of strength; hence, the lower price tag. So, if you're looking for a relatively permanent set-up in studio or only occasional set-up and tear-down, this is an excellent economical choice.

Better than I thought?

A lot better quality than I expected for the low price. Semi pain to put together the first time, but a breeze after that (if you leave the rods installed). All in all very happy with the purchase.

Awesome value for money!

Stellar softbox with great build quality especially for the price. This has quickly become one of the most commonly used softboxes in my studio along side my giant Godox octa. The only downside of these budget softboxes is that they take a bit more time and effort to set up and put away when you're done.

Good but know what you're getting

Nice solid and cheap option. BUT, don't make the mistake like I did buying and thinking the money saved would make up for convenience. If it's (more or less permanently) set up in a studio that's great but this is a nightmare to assemble. I had to use every bit a strength I had and it's painful on your hands bending the rods. Though it does get a bit easier the more you do it because the rods end up bent.

Godox or go home.

Easy to setup and works well in a smaller space. Was able to cast good light on and the grid was a lifesaver when I needed to remove the background. Godox constantly gives me a great impression for the price, so far.

Great, huge product! Time consuming to put together

This is a great softbox, the size is huge and produces really beautiful soft light for portraits. The only downside is that it is very difficult to put together as a traveling softbox. Takes time and some muscle to get those rods in. The Price Is Awesome for the quality!

Durable

By SAMANTHA G.

I love this one so much. The build quality is very nice, has its own bag to keep everything together, and is fairly easy to put together after the first try. You sort of have to stretch it out to make it easier for the next time. It difusses nicely and works as it should.

Superb

By MICHAEL M.
