SMALLRIG Rectangular Softbox with Quick - Review

When it comes to studio lighting, having the right accessories can make all the difference in the world. That's why I was excited to try out the SMALLRIG Rectangular Softbox with Quick Release Pressing Design, 60 x 90cm (23.6" x 35.4") Bowens Mount Softbox with Beam Grid & Diffusers for Studio Lighting, RA-R6090 - 3930.

One of the standout features of this softbox is the Quick Release Structure. Using the latest generation of quick-release chuck structure independently developed by SMALLRIG, the super labor-saving pressing design enables you to easily complete the installation within a few seconds with one press. This makes setting up your lighting setup a breeze, and I appreciated not having to fumble around with complicated mounting hardware.

The exterior rib design of the softbox is also worth mentioning. The ribs are on the outside, ensuring that the inner side is smooth and flat, achieving a brighter and softer light effect compared to designs where the ribs are placed inside. The 4 ribs of the three-dimensional support create a luminous surface effect with fullness and depth. The ribs are made of high-strength and high-temperature resistant materials, which can withstand tens of thousands of presses without deformation. This means the softbox will last for years to come.

Another selling point of the SMALLRIG Rectangular Softbox is its wide compatibility. It features a universal Bowens mount design, which makes it not only compatible with SMALLRIG RC 120D/RC 120B/RC 220D/RC 220B, but also compatible with other brands of Bowens mount lights on the market. This ensures that if you upgrade your lighting setup in the future, you can still use the same softbox.

The package also includes a beam grid and two high-quality diffusers, which can be freely matched according to different scenes. You can use the beam grid to control the light direction to meet your lighting needs of portrait shooting, still-life filming, live video, character interview, etc. With the included diffusers, you can soften the light even further, creating a more uniform look.

But how does the SMALLRIG Rectangular Softbox actually perform? In my testing, the softbox proved to be a reliable addition to my studio lighting setup. The soft fabric and highly reflective coating ensured that my subjects were well-lit and evenly exposed. The beam grid allowed me to direct the light exactly where I wanted it, and the diffusers gave me the ability to soften it even further. I also appreciated how easy it was to set up and take down the softbox - the quick-release structure made it a breeze to use.

Overall, I would highly recommend the SMALLRIG Rectangular Softbox with Quick Release Pressing Design for anyone in need of a high-quality softbox for their studio lighting setup. Its universal Bowens mount design, beam grid, and diffusers make it a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit. And with its quick-release structure and durable rib design, you'll be able to use it for years to come. The numerous positive reviews on the product's page are a testament to its popularity and effectiveness, and I wholeheartedly agree with their ratings.
