Softbox Aputure Amaran 300×1200 mm for Bowens mount fixtures up to 600W (AMLB30120)

The Aputure Amaran softbox 300 × 1200 mm (AMLB30120) is a narrow rectangular softbox designed for Bowens-mount fixtures up to 600 W. Constructed from black outer fabric and a white inner diffuser, this slim 30×120 cm softbox delivers controlled directional soft light for portrait, full-body and product shooting. The softbox is lightweight (approximately 900 g) and supplied as a single pack with diffusion cloth, inner baffle, control grid and a carrying bag for studio and on-set use.

Advantages

The narrow format provides focused, even soft light with clean edges and minimized spill, useful for rim, strip and portrait lighting. One-snap assembly enables rapid setup and teardown, while the flat-pack design reduces storage volume and transport weight. Built for compatibility with Bowens mount fixtures up to 600 W, the softbox includes a control grid and inner baffle to shape light output and improve contrast and directionality.

Suitable for

• Portrait and headshot lighting where a narrow, flattering soft light is required
• Full-body content and fashion shoots that need a vertical strip of soft illumination
• Product and still-life photography to control reflections and create clean highlights
• Video interviews and on-set key or rim light with controlled spill

How to use

Attach the softbox to a compatible Bowens-mount light by securing the mount ring to the fixture, then expand the softbox using the one-snap mechanism until it locks into place. Insert the inner baffle and attach the outer diffusion cloth to achieve an even, soft output. Fit the control grid on the front if you need a more directional beam and reduced spill. Position the light and modifier at the desired distance and angle to shape shadows and highlights for portraits, full-body shots or product subjects.

Usage recommendations

For a pleasing, narrow catchlight in eyes and controlled rim lighting, place the softbox slightly above subject eye level and angle it downward. Use the inner baffle and grid together to increase control over spill and contrast. When shooting reflective products, adjust distance and angle to minimize unwanted reflections; consider using flags or additional small gobos for fine control. Store the softbox in its carrying bag and avoid compressing the grid to maintain shape and fabric tension.
