The large size makes it desirable for fashion photography, portraits and medium to large sized product shots. A must have for location shooting Independent mono-bloc flash heads designed for digital and film cameras. There is plenty of power for small portrait and commercial work. The unique shape and large surface area of these softboxes creates natural catchlights in the eyes, making them ideal for head and shoulders portraiture. They offer light output, with a slimmer profile to accommodate space constraints. Silver embossed lining is highly reflective ensuring a high degree of light efficiency. The material used ensures that it does not fluoresce under UV light and is also heat-resistant allowing the use of hot lights up to 650W. The softbox is 8-sided and opens and closes like an umbrella making it more convenient to transport and quick and easy to assemble/disassemble - much easier than a rod-construction as this item opens like a regular umbrella - saving you precious time on set. Includes 5cm of Velcro lining to the front, which allows compatibility with honeycomb or egg-crate grids and the included diffusers. Removable front and inner diffusers for versatility in refining the hard/soft ratio of flash light. They help to minimise the possibility of hotspots and give an even spread of light. Can be used together for maximum softening of the output. Removing the inner diffuser gives you a more crisp light quality with higher contrast, while shedding the front and inner diffusers turns the softbox into a large reflector with maximum brightness and contrast. This Softbox is designed to offer the ultimate in soft light with consistent edge-to-edge coverage. It comes with a Bowens S-Type Speedring which has a locking nut allowing the softbox to rotate to the correct angle needed. Inside it is a reflective silver colour helping to brighten or warm the light to better suit the subject. Included is a removable front and inner translucent diffuser, great for speedlites, mono light, strobe or slaves. The inner diffuser spreads the light evenly across the front diffusion panel also helping to minimise the possibility of hotspots. Quick and easy way to produce beautiful diffused light, especially designed for speedlites and strobes. All our softboxes have the ability to accept an optional Honeycomb Grid (Soft Egg Crate) directing the beam of light by eliminating the edge light, for a more focused spread, precise control and softer shadow definition. This can be done by attaching it to the 5cm velcro around the edge of the softbox. At every stage in softbox fabrication, we have chosen materials which insure consistent performance and durability. Fluorescent dyes, which cause a blue colour shift, have been avoided in their construction. UV coating has been employed for colour consistency while special heat-resistant materials expand the capabilities of these softboxes to allow use of hot lights up to 650W. Waterproofing not only makes for easy maintenance, but prevents fading and discolouration, ensuring colour consistency over time. It also has an all metal high quality construction and also the added benefit of built in slave devices - so no messy wires.
