Product Information
Full details
This Broncolor Softgrid is designed for photographers using the 30cm x 120cm Broncolor softbox. It significantly tightens the beam of light, offering greater control and a more precise cut-off, ideal for controlled studio environments. While it enhances light shaping, its primary limitation is its specific compatibility with the matching Broncolor softbox.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using this softgrid?
The primary benefit is to tighten the pool of light from the softbox, providing more control and a sharper cut-off, which reduces light spill and allows for more precise lighting placement.
Can I use this grid with other softbox sizes?
No, this softgrid is specifically designed and compatible only with the Broncolor 30cm x 120cm softbox.
Will this grid change the quality of the light?
While it primarily controls the direction and spread of the light, it can slightly alter the softness. However, it maintains the characteristic soft quality of the light from the softbox, just in a more controlled manner.
How does the grid attach to the softbox?
The grid attaches via a secure fastening system, typically using Velcro along the edges of the softbox and grid.
Does the grid reduce the overall light output?
Yes, like most grids or modifiers that control light spread, it will absorb a small amount of light, leading to a slight reduction in overall output. This is a trade-off for increased control.
How should I store the softgrid when not in use?
It is best to store the grid flat or loosely rolled in a protective case or bag to prevent permanent creases and damage to the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Grid does not attach securely to the softbox.
Ensure you are using the correct Broncolor 30x120cm softbox. Check that the Velcro or attachment points on both the grid and the softbox are clean and free of debris. Re-align the grid carefully.
Light spread is not as tight as expected.
Verify that the grid is correctly oriented and fully attached. Ensure no light is escaping from the edges. The grid's effectiveness can also depend on the distance and angle of the softbox relative to the subject.
Grid appears to be damaged or creased.
Inspect the grid for tears or significant creases. Minor creases may not significantly impact performance, but if performance is affected, consider replacement. Store the grid properly to avoid damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Softgrid is designed to attach directly to the Broncolor 30cm x 120cm softbox. Typically, this involves aligning the grid's edges with the softbox and securing it using the integrated Velcro or attachment points. Ensure the grid is fitted securely before use.
Compatibility: This light grid is exclusively designed for the Broncolor 30cm x 120cm softbox. It is not compatible with other sizes or brands of softboxes.
Care: To clean the grid, gently wipe it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and affect its light-diffusing properties. Store the grid flat or loosely rolled in a protective bag to prevent creasing and damage.
