Review: Big, a bit weighty but highly convenient and lovely light - The advantage of a softbox is that they create more flattering light for portraits/videography. The bigger the softbox's size (and the closer it is to the subject), the more diffuse the light. There's a lot of debate online whether parabolic softboxes have an advantage over thinner flatter ones (and evidence to suggest they don't when the diffusers are being used). But the advantages of this model are that it's incredibly quick to erect/dissassemble thanks to the external click-in-place struts, the two layers of diffuser ensure soft light (plus a grid to control it if desired), and if you use solely the reflector part you get a very different look and get the advantage of the parabolic shape. SmallRig provides a great carrying case and the built-in Bowens connector means you don't need to buy a separate speedring, which saves on cost. Bear in mind it is a bit weighty - my normal lighting stand needed sandbags and flexed under its weight, so you may need to consider SmallRig's light stand as an add-on. Also bear in mind the depth of the parabolic shape means it takes up more space.
Review: Excellent Softbox - I used this softbox on a wedding shoot a few days after I received it and I am absolutely delighted with the results. I used it outdoors to balance flash with daylight on the wedding party and for some bridal shots. The softbox gave an even light, free from hotspots with nice fall off. Its very easy to assemble, sturdy and well made. Then storage bag provides ample room for the softbox and a Godox S2 Bracket that i use to hold my speedlight. One slight issue, the Bowens bracket rattled slightly despite being properly inserted and the mounting screws tightened. It was a little annoying rattling in the back seat of the car. I sorted it with a ring of 1mm cardboard between the softbox body and the mount. When the Bowen mount is tightened now, no rattles. Bottom line, i wish i knew about this softbox before i wasted a lot of money on inferior ones. i certainly know that i will buy another when its needed. This is another top quality SmallRig product that i cannot recommend highly enough.

## Features

- Quick Release Design & Lightweight and Foldable: Using the original developed quick release structure, it can be quickly installed and removed in just 15 seconds. The SmallRig parabolic softbox is foldable for easy storage, weighs only 1kg and comes with a storage bag for easy portability. This is a very handy lightbox for those who use at multiple shooting locations.
- Enhancing the Shooting Effect: The softbox adopts a two-layer cloth structure made of Oxford cloth and high-grade reflective materials, with multi-layer coating. It is durable and reflective, while maintaining the original color temperature and color Rendering Index (CRI) while spreading the light more evenly and wider for improved shooting results.
- High Durability: The SmallRig light softbox is supported by 16 ribs that form a rounded surface for a specific depth of surface effect. It adopts military umbrella ribs, which are lightweight and durable, high elasticity, and can withstand tens of thousands of presses without deformation. In addition, all the ribs of the umbrella are attached to the outside, which gives a smoother and more uniform coating effect on the inside, and does not affect the reflected light function inside.
- Adjustable Light Direction: SmallRig softbox comes with 2 pieces of high-quality diffuser cloth and 1 piece of fabric mesh (the beam angle is concentrated at 45° , which can be freely combined when using, and can play a positive role in various situations. For example, it can be applied to portrait photography, studio photography, LED video light photography, flash photography, etc.
- Wide Compatibility and Package Includes: Not only SmallRig video lights (RC 120D / RC 120B / RC 220D / RC 220B), but also other Bowens mount standard LEDs and COBs can be attached to Bowens mount's video lights, video lights are also supported. The package Includes: 1 x Softbox, 1 x Honeycomb, 1 x Internal Diffusion, 1 x External Diffuse, 1 x Carry Bag, 1x User Manual.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SmallRig does it again.
*by G***X on 11 January 2023*

Like all SmallRig products, this thing screams quality build and fit and finish. This could easily be twice the money, the softbox goes together in seconds using the quick deploy latches and stays as solid as any of the Aputure ones I've used before. It comes with 2 diffusion layers and an easy to use grid as well (really handy and stores away very small). All layers use velcro to attach and are very easy to mount. The hardware on the Bowens compatible mount is all metal and a joy to use. This being the 55cm one it is best suited for smaller items, I shoot watches and this is absolute perfect for that as I can throw it around in the studio and it isn't huge or hitting me on the head all the time like my bigger ones do. Absolutely great stuff from SmallRig.
