A 60 × 90 cm rectangle is a common first softbox for portraits and products. A softbox makes a small light source larger, and a larger source gives softer shadows. Every diffuser also costs some light.
Two diffusers and a grid
Inner and outer diffusers soften the light; the grid adds direction.
Fits most heads
The Bowens mount takes most budget strobes and LED monolights.
A note
Our earlier page covered an AMBITFUL grid sold alone, which has no US offer now. This page covers the complete softbox with grid.
With and without the grid
Without the grid, the box spreads soft light widely for portraits and products. With it, the light stays on the subject and the background falls darker, useful for moody portraits and for keeping light off a white wall.
Getting the most from it
Use both diffusers for the softest light, or only the outer one for more output. Place the box close to the subject: the closer it is, the softer the light.

What people ask before they commit
Will it fit my Godox MS300?
Yes. The MS300 has a Bowens mount, and this softbox uses one.
What is the grid for?
A honeycomb grid narrows the beam, keeping light off the background for a more directional look.
Does it work with speedlights?
Only with a Bowens adapter bracket for the speedlight.
