Overview

The Neewer 22-inch hexadecagon parabolic softbox is a light modifier designed for photographers who need fast setup, consistent light quality, and directional control. Its 16-rib quick-release structure snaps into a parabolic shape in under 15 seconds without tools, and the ribs are engineered to withstand tens of thousands of presses without deforming. The deep parabolic shape, combined with a smooth silver interior coating, broadens and evenly distributes light while preserving the color rendering characteristics of the attached light source.

The softbox ships with two white diffusion panels that attach via touch fasteners, allowing photographers to layer diffusion as needed — from bare reflector output to heavily softened light. The included honeycomb grid narrows the beam to approximately 45°, providing focused, directional light with controlled spill for dramatic portrait lighting and product photography. It connects to strobes and continuous LED lights via a standard Bowens mount, making it compatible with a wide range of popular lighting brands. At just 2.5 lbs, it folds flat and fits into the included carrying bag with a dedicated mesh pocket for the grid, making it a practical addition to both studio and on-location kits for portraits, headshots, product work, and fashion shoots.

Key Features

【Hexadecagon Parabolic Softbox】 This deep, parabolic softbox features a smooth, even silver internal coating that broadens and diffuses the output while retaining the neutral color rendering index (CRI) and temperature, spreading light more evenly and widely to improve shooting results. Two layers of diffusers can be attached via touch fasteners to soften harsh glare and eliminate unwanted shadows

【Quick Release & Quick Fold Structure】 16 highly resilient ribs give this softbox incomparable durability and an impeccable parabolic shape that can withstand tens of thousands of presses without deformation for years of use. The quick release design allows you to set the softbox up in less than 15 seconds without any tool. Foldable and merely 2.5lb (1.14kg) in weight, the softbox is easy to store and transport inside the included carrying bag

【Customizable Honeycomb Grid & Diffusers】 Using the honeycomb grid can make the light shape more confined and directional, allowing the beam angle to be concentrated at 45°, which gives photographers a dramatic and expressive light effect to define their model's facial structure. The 2 pieces of high quality diffusers can be freely combined in use

【Attach Via Bowens Mount】 Connecting via Bowens mount, the softbox is compatible with Aputure 120d Godox sl60w NEEWER CB150, CB100, CB60, RGB CB60, SL-70W, S101-300W PRO, S101-400W PRO, Vision 4, Vision 5, and other studio strobe lights and continuous LED video lights with bowens mount

【Bag with Grid Pocket for Easier Storage】 Designed for portraits, product photography, beauty & fashion shoots, weddings, corporate headshots, and other photography styles. Collapsible for ease of storage, the large carrying bag keeps the softbox portable for outdoor use with an inner mesh pocket to store the grid.
