Product Information
Full details
The Godox SB-FW80120 is a professional-grade strip softbox designed for portrait photographers and videographers who need precise light control and rapid setup times. Its umbrella-style frame allows for near-instant assembly, making it ideal for mobile studios or fast-paced commercial shoots, though its large rectangular footprint requires significant floor space in smaller studio environments.

FAQs
Does this softbox fit lights other than Godox?
Yes, because it uses the standard Bowens mount, it is compatible with a wide range of lighting brands.
Can the grid be removed?
Yes, the honeycomb grid is attached via a hook-and-loop or collar system and can be easily removed for a wider spread of light.
Is the carrying case included?
Yes, a dedicated carrying case is provided to store the softbox and its diffusers.
What material is the softbox made of?
It is constructed from high-quality, rip-stop nylon designed for durability and longevity.
How heavy is the softbox?
It is designed to be lightweight, though the exact weight depends on the mounting ring tension; the rip-stop nylon keeps it manageable for on-location shoots.
Troubleshooting
Softbox wobbles on the light stand
Ensure the Bowens mount is fully locked and tightened. Use a sandbag on the light stand legs for added stability due to the large size of the modifier.
Light is uneven or has hotspots
Verify that both the internal and external diffusers are correctly attached and fully covering the opening.
Difficulty collapsing the umbrella frame
Ensure you are releasing the locking mechanism at the center hub fully before attempting to fold the rods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To assemble, ensure the center rod is fully locked into the central hub until you hear a click. Attach the Bowen ring to your light fixture, ensuring it is tightened securely before snapping the softbox into place. Attach the internal diffuser first, followed by the external cover, and finish by pressing the honeycomb grid into the front collar.
Compatibility: This softbox uses a universal Bowens S-type mount. It is compatible with all Godox lights featuring this mount and most third-party strobes that follow the Bowens standard.
Care: Always store the softbox in the included carrying case when not in use. If the nylon gets dusty, wipe it with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid sharp objects near the reflective silver interior to prevent tears in the lining.
