Review on GODOX Softbox Bag Kit: The Must-Have Accessory πŸ“Έ for Bowens and Elinchrom Mount Studio Flashes in Camera Photography by Jeremy Byard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for money for softboxes

I bought this softbox along with my 3" Profoto Octabox. Godox is very good for the price. I really can't win. Compared to the much more expensive Profoto the build quality and materials weren't that good but again, you couldn't beat the price.The softbox installs very easily and quickly, unlike the Profoto which requires some fiddling.But the way the softbox attaches to the mount is a bit flimsy.Although it hasn't been dropped is when I adjusted its position. If you want a small rectangular softbox I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. Note that if you use this as your key light for portraits you'll end up with square highlights in your eyes This is the main reason I chose the Profoto Octagon, ie round highlights I wouldn't use this softbox outdoors either en where the wind could tear the softbox from its mount. I only use mine indoors for still lifes.

Pros
  • *****The Godox portable diffuser with a diameter of 80 cm x 80 cm, silver reflective interior and black back ideally softens the light and removes shadows for perfect shots.
Cons
  • Incredible Piggy Bank
