Troubleshooting
Softbox does not hold its shape
Ensure all frame rods are fully extended and locked into place. Check that the diffusers are attached securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Godox SB-GUE95 features a unique umbrella-style frame. To set up, extend the rods until they click into place, effectively stretching the fabric. Then, attach the inner and outer diffusers to the front of the softbox as needed. Finally, mount the softbox onto your light stand and flash head via the Bowens speed ring.
Compatibility: This softbox is equipped with a Bowens speed ring, making it compatible with most Godox flash heads and strobes. It can also be used with lighting equipment from other brands that feature the Bowens S-type mount.
Care: To maintain the softbox, wipe the exterior and interior fabric with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the reflective surfaces or fabric. Store the softbox in its included carrying case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before storing.
