Godox SB1520 Softbox

The Godox SB1520 is designed with a universal elastic strap system, making it compatible with the vast majority of standard shoe-mount speedlights. It stretches to accommodate different flash head sizes securely.

Because of its 150mm x 200mm surface area, it significantly diffuses harsh, direct flash. While it won't produce the same ultra-soft wrap as a large studio softbox, it effectively eliminates the 'deer-in-headlights' look and harsh shadows common with bare flashes.

Yes, it is constructed from lightweight fabric that folds flat, making it very resilient for travel. It weighs less than two ounces, so it won't add noticeable bulk to your camera bag.

This modifier is best suited for close-up portraits, headshots, or macro photography. For full-body shots, the light source will be too small to provide significant diffusion at a distance.

Like any diffuser, it will reduce your flash's effective power because the fabric absorbs some light. You will likely need to increase your flash exposure compensation or bump up your ISO slightly to compensate for the light loss.
