Neewer SF85Q Parabolic Softbox

Thanks to its deep parabolic shape, this softbox is ideal for portraiture and product photography where you need a balance between directional focus and soft, flattering light. The silver interior helps maximize output, making it a versatile choice for both studio and on-location shoots.

No, it uses a standard Bowens mount, which is the industry standard for most studio strobes and continuous LED lights. As long as your light fixture has a Bowens-style mount, this softbox will attach securely.

It is designed for speed. The softbox features an umbrella-style mechanism that allows it to pop open and lock into place quickly, saving you significant setup time compared to traditional rod-based softboxes.

The fabric grid attaches to the front of the softbox to narrow the beam of light. It is essential for controlling light spill, allowing you to direct illumination precisely onto your subject while preventing it from washing out the background or hitting unwanted areas of the set.

At 85cm (33.4 inches), it is perfectly sized for headshots, half-body portraits, and product photography. While you can use it for full-body shots, you will need to place the light closer to the subject or accept a slightly harder light quality as the light source becomes relatively smaller in relation to the subject.
