FAQs

What is the main advantage of the parabolic design?

The deep parabolic shape allows for precise control over light direction and creates a very soft, even, and progressive fall-off of light from the center to the edges, resulting in flattering illumination.

Does the P120L come with a grid?

No, a honeycomb grid is not included with the P120L but can be purchased separately for even tighter light control.

How heavy is the P120L softbox?

The P120L softbox weighs approximately 1.79 Kg, making it relatively light and portable, especially with its included carrying bag.

What type of lights is this softbox compatible with?

It features a Bowens Mount, making it compatible with most Godox lights and many other brands that utilize the Bowens Mount system.

Can I use this softbox for outdoor shooting?

Yes, the P120L is designed to be resistant to wind, crush, and fall, making it suitable for outdoor applications. Its portability also aids in on-location use.

How do I clean the softbox?

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before use or storage.

What are the dimensions of the softbox?

The diameter of the softbox is 120 cm, and its depth is 74.2 cm.

Troubleshooting

Softbox is difficult to fold or unfold.

Ensure all fiberglass rods are properly seated and locked. If stiff, gently flex the rods to loosen them. Avoid forcing the mechanism.

Light is not evenly distributed.

Verify that the diffusion panels are correctly attached and smoothed out. Ensure the inner diffusion panel's central sheet is positioned correctly. Experiment with the placement of the light source within the softbox.

Bowens mount does not secure properly.

Check for any obstructions in the mount on both the softbox and the light fixture. Ensure the locking mechanism on the light fixture is engaged correctly.

Softbox seems flimsy in windy conditions.

While designed for wind resistance, extreme conditions may require additional stabilization, such as sandbags on the light stand. Ensure the frame is fully and securely locked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The P120L features a quick-folding mechanism. Unfold the frame until the 16 fiberglass rods lock into place. Attach the softbox to your light source using the integrated Bowens mount speedring. Once mounted, you can attach the inner and outer diffusion panels. The process is designed to be intuitive and can be mastered quickly.

Care: To maintain the softbox, wipe the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before storage. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the softbox in its included carrying bag to protect it from dust and damage when not in use.
