Overview

The Neewer 90cm Octagonal Foldable Softbox brings studio-quality light shaping to photographers and videographers without the tedious assembly of traditional softboxes. Its eight stainless steel rib sections open and close like an umbrella, cutting setup time dramatically compared to rod-and-strip designs. The 36-inch octagonal shape produces a naturally flattering, nearly circular catchlight in portrait work, while the generous size creates soft, wrapping illumination that minimizes harsh shadows.

Light control options are extensive for a softbox at this price point. The included internal baffle and front diffusion panel can be used independently or together, reducing output by approximately 2.1 stops when both are in place. The eggcrate fabric grid snaps on to tighten the beam angle for more dramatic, directional lighting, and the reversible deflection cap redirects the strobe's central output to eliminate hot spots. The Bowens mount speed ring ensures compatibility with a wide range of popular strobes, and the included carrying case makes the entire package practical for on-location work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the eggcrate grid affect the light output?

The included fabric grid narrows the beam angle, giving you more directional control and reducing spill onto backgrounds or other areas of your set.

Can I use this softbox without the internal diffuser for more output?

Yes, both the internal and external diffusers are removable, so you can run it with one, both, or neither depending on how much light and softness you need.

How long does it take to set up this softbox?

The umbrella-style folding mechanism with 8 rib sections allows setup in under a minute — no individual rods to assemble.

What is the depth of this softbox when fully open?

The softbox has an opening depth of 40 cm when fully deployed, which contributes to its light-wrapping quality.

Does the reversible deflection cap eliminate hot spots?

Yes, the deflection cap redirects the central light output from your strobe, spreading it more evenly across the internal surface of the softbox to eliminate the bright center spot.
