Product Information

Full details

The Godox QR-P120T is an essential lighting modifier for professional photographers, videographers, and content creators who require soft, uniform, and flattering illumination for their subjects. Its standout feature is the integrated quick-release system, which allows for rapid assembly and breakdown, significantly increasing efficiency on busy sets or location shoots. While the large 120cm diameter provides a beautiful wrap-around light quality, its size can be a limitation for very confined indoor spaces or small studio setups.

FAQs

Can I use this softbox with lights that don't have a Bowens mount?

Yes, but you will need an external Bowens mount adapter specifically designed for your light's mounting system.

Is this softbox suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, but due to its large 120cm size, it acts as a sail in high winds. Use a heavy-duty light stand and sandbags for safety.

Does it come with a grid?

The standard package includes the softbox and diffusers; check your specific retail bundle as grids are often sold as separate accessories.

Can I use this with high-wattage continuous lights?

Yes, it is built to handle professional lighting, but always ensure the continuous light heat output does not exceed the manufacturer's recommended thermal limits.

What is the primary difference between this and a standard rectangular softbox?

The parabolic shape offers a more focused, punchy light beam with a faster fall-off compared to the more diffuse, wide-spread light of rectangular boxes.

Troubleshooting

Softbox does not lock into place during setup

Ensure the center ring is fully pulled up until the locking mechanism engages. Check for debris in the mechanism.

Light is not attaching securely to the Bowens mount

Verify that all three pins are aligned correctly and that the locking collar is fully rotated to the 'locked' position.

Uneven light distribution

Check that the inner baffle is properly attached via its velcro tabs and that the front diffuser is stretched evenly over the rim.

Pros and Cons

120cm diameter requires significant floor space

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the QR-P120T, simply pull the rods upward until they click into the locking mechanism. To collapse, press the release button and allow the rods to fold down gently. The softbox uses a standard Bowens mount; align the three pins on the softbox with the holes on your light head, rotate clockwise until it clicks into place. For care, keep the fabric clean and free of dust. If the material becomes soiled, wipe it down with a damp, lint-free cloth. Always store the softbox in the provided carrying case when not in use to protect the rods and reflective interior from scratches or tears.
