FAQs

What type of lights is this softbox compatible with?

This softbox is designed with a Bowens mount, making it compatible with most Godox strobes and continuous lights, as well as many other brands that utilize the Bowens mount system.

Can I use this softbox without the honeycomb grid?

Yes, you can use the softbox without the honeycomb grid. Removing it will result in a wider, softer spread of light, while attaching it will focus the light beam and reduce light spill.

How do I attach the honeycomb grid?

The honeycomb grid typically attaches to the front opening of the softbox using a Velcro or similar fastening system. It's designed to fit snugly over the front lip of the softbox.

What is the primary benefit of the silver interior?

The silver reflective interior maximizes the efficiency of the light source by reflecting more light outwards, contributing to a brighter and more even illumination.

Is the internal diffuser removable?

Yes, the internal diffuser is usually attached via Velcro and can be removed. Removing it will increase the contrast and hardness of the light slightly.

What are the dimensions of the softbox?

The Godox SB-FW30120 softbox measures 30 cm in width and 120 cm in depth.

How do I clean the softbox fabric?

Clean the fabric gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or excessive moisture. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

Softbox fabric feels loose or unevenly stretched.

Check that all support rods are fully inserted into their pockets and that the speed ring is securely attached to the light mount. Adjust the tension by ensuring the fabric is taut around the frame.

Light is too harsh or has noticeable hotspots.

Ensure the internal diffuser is properly attached and centered. If using the honeycomb grid, verify it's correctly installed. Consider using an additional diffusion layer if more softness is required.

Bowens mount does not fit securely.

Confirm your light fixture indeed has a Bowens mount. Ensure there are no obstructions on either the light's mount or the softbox's speed ring. Gently rotate the speed ring while attaching to ensure proper engagement.
