Product Information

Full details

The Godox QR-P90T Quick Release Parabolic Softbox is designed for photographers and videographers seeking rapid setup and a versatile light modifier. Its 90cm diameter and parabolic shape deliver soft yet defined light, ideal for studio work, live streaming, and small-space productions. A key benefit is its quick-release system for efficient assembly and breakdown. The primary caveat is its reliance on Bowens mount strobes for full compatibility, though optional speed rings broaden its use.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the QR-P series?

The QR-P series features a quick-release system designed for rapid setup and breakdown, making it highly convenient for users who frequently move their equipment or work in tight spaces.

Can I use this softbox with any brand of strobe?

The softbox comes with a Bowens mount for direct compatibility with many Godox and other Bowens-mount lights. For other brands, you will need to purchase an optional speed ring specific to your light's mount.

How does the parabolic shape affect the light quality?

The parabolic shape creates a very focused and uniform light pattern with a defined edge, resulting in soft light that is still controllable and can produce crisp details.

Is an internal diffuser always necessary?

The QR-P90T has a seamlessly attached internal diffuser. You can also detach the internal and front fabric diffusers for a harder light source or to add other diffusion materials.

What is the benefit of the optional grid?

An optional grid allows you to further control the direction of the light, narrowing the beam and reducing light spill, which is useful for precise lighting setups.

What are the dimensions of the softbox?

The Godox QR-P90T has a diameter of 90 centimeters.

Is this softbox suitable for outdoor use?

While designed for portability, it is best used in controlled environments. For outdoor use, ensure it is securely anchored, as wind can affect its stability.

Troubleshooting

Softbox won't stay open

Ensure all rods are fully clicked into their designated slots on the speed ring. If a rod feels loose, check for damage or debris.

Light appears uneven

Verify that the internal and front diffusers are correctly attached and smoothed out. Ensure the light source is centered within the softbox.

Difficulty collapsing the softbox

Slightly lift the rod upwards *before* pressing the release button. Ensure no fabric or other components are obstructing the mechanism.

Mounting to non-Bowens light

Purchase and install the correct optional speed ring for your specific light modifier mount.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast setup and takedown
  • Produces high-quality, controllable soft light
  • Compact and portable for its size
  • Versatile with optional accessories
  • Durable build quality

Cons

  • Best performance with Bowens mount lights; requires optional speed rings for others
  • Can be slightly challenging to master nuanced lighting control without practice
  • Larger than some portable softboxes, requires some space for setup

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the QR-P90T, extend the rods until they securely click into place on the speed ring. For faster assembly, simultaneously lift two opposing rods. To break down, slightly lift any rod while pressing its release button, allowing the structure to collapse smoothly.

Compatibility: This softbox features a Bowens mount, making it directly compatible with Godox strobes and LED lights, as well as any other lighting equipment utilizing the Bowens mount. For compatibility with other light mounts (e.g., Profoto, Elinchrom), an appropriate optional speed ring is required.

Care: Clean the exterior and interior diffusers with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the reflective surfaces or fabric. Store the softbox in its original bag or a protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the rods and fabric.
