Product Information
Full details
This guide is for photographers using Broncolor 120x180cm softboxes who need greater control over light spill. The Broncolor Softgrid offers a key benefit of precisely tightening the light pool for more focused illumination. A caveat to consider is its specific compatibility with only the 120x180cm softbox size. This product is a light-shaping tool designed to attach to compatible Broncolor softboxes, enhancing directional control and reducing ambient light spread.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Broncolor Softgrid?
The primary purpose is to tighten the pool of light emitted by the softbox, reducing light spill and providing more directional control.
Can I use this grid with other softbox sizes?
No, this Softgrid is exclusively designed for the Broncolor 120cm x 180cm softbox.
Will this grid make my light harder?
It tightens the beam and can slightly reduce the diffusion effect of the softbox, but it does not inherently make the light harsh. The quality of the light remains soft, but more controlled.
How do I attach the grid to the softbox?
The grid attaches using the integrated fastening system, typically velcro, around the edges of the softbox frame. Ensure it is securely and evenly fastened.
How should I clean the Softgrid?
Gently wipe with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
What are the dimensions of the Softgrid?
The Softgrid is designed for a 120cm x 180cm softbox, meaning its effective dimensions match this size.
Does the grid come with its own storage bag?
Typically, accessories like this come with some form of protective packaging. Please refer to the product packaging or manual for specifics on storage.
Troubleshooting
Grid is not fitting securely
Ensure you are using the correct Broncolor 120x180cm softbox and that the grid is aligned properly with the frame. Check if the attachment points are clean and free of debris.
Grid appears uneven or saggy
Carefully adjust the attachment points to ensure the grid is evenly tensioned across the softbox frame. Avoid over-tensioning, which could distort the grid.
Light quality is too harsh
While the grid tightens light, it should not make it harsh. Ensure the softbox itself is properly diffused. The grid's primary function is light control, not softening. For maximum diffusion, ensure the inner baffle and front diffusion panel are correctly installed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Softgrid is designed to attach directly to the Broncolor 120x180cm softbox. Align the grid's edges with the softbox frame and secure it using the integrated attachment points, often velcro or similar fastening systems, ensuring it is taut and evenly placed.
Compatibility: This Softgrid is specifically designed for the Broncolor 120x180cm (3.9 x 5.9 ft) softbox. It is not compatible with other sizes or brands of softboxes.
Care: To clean the grid, gently wipe it with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the fabric. Store the grid flat or loosely rolled in its protective packaging to prevent creasing.
