⚡ At a Glance
  • Image Quality: Soft, even illumination that reduces shadows while creating attractive catchlights
  • Best for: Portrait photographers and hobbyists needing compact, flattering speedlight diffusion
  • Not ideal for: Large studio shoots requiring powerful continuous lights or very broad coverage

Includes a 6 x 5 in rectangular softbox and a 6 in octagonal softbox for speedlights. Durable black nylon exteriors and PVC silver interiors soften and intensify flash output while preserving neutral colour temperature.


Soft, flattering portrait light - thanks to the 6 x 5 in rectangular diffuser

The 6 x 5 in (15 x 12.5 cm) rectangular softbox produces a widened, linear light spread with a diffuser panel that scatters the flash output. The shape emphasises facial features by creating soft, directional illumination.

Softer transitions across the face make skin tones look smoother and facial highlights more controllable, ideal for headshots and close-ups.

Wrap-around illumination - with the 6 in octagonal diffuser

The 6 in (15 cm) octagonal softbox broadens the effective light source to produce balanced, wrap-around illumination that reduces hard shadows. The rounded shape helps create natural catchlights in the eyes.

Balanced, shadow-free lighting improves overall portrait appearance and yields pleasing eye catchlights for a professional finish.

Quick on-location setup - with touch fastener attachment and collapsible design

Elastic strips and touch fasteners attach the softboxes to compatible round and some square head flashes, while the collapsible frame folds flat for storage. A pouch is included for compact packing between shoots.

Fast attachment and lightweight construction make on-location portrait work faster, and the fold-flat design keeps kit bags organised.
