Softbox Godox SB-FW70100 Black 700mm x 1000mm with Diffusers

The Godox SB-FW70100 softbox is a rectangular light modifier measuring 700 mm x 1000 mm with a black outer shell, an internal reflective layer and two diffusers. It is built on a metal frame for stable, even fabric tension and includes a Bowens-compatible mounting ring and a removable honeycomb grid. The outer fabric is rip-stop nylon for durability while remaining lightweight, and the inner surfaces provide neutral, high-reflectance diffusion to deliver soft, even light with improved beam control and contrast compared with a basic softbox.

Advantages

This softbox combines the characteristic softening of light with better control over the beam thanks to its included honeycomb and the rectangular shape. The metal ring construction ensures consistent fabric tension and a flat front surface, while rip-stop nylon makes the unit resistant to mechanical wear without adding much weight. Dual diffusion (internal and external) produces even illumination and reduces hot spots.

Suitable for

• Portrait and headshot photography where controlled, soft light and improved contrast are required
• Product and still-life shoots that benefit from even illumination and reduced reflections
• Studio setups using Bowens-mount strobes and continuous lights

When it may not be suitable

Because of its size (700 x 1000 mm) the softbox is intended for studio or controlled-location work and may be cumbersome for tight on-location spaces or handheld setups. It requires a compatible Bowens-mount light or an adapter to fit other mounts.

Key specifications

• Shape: Rectangular (700 mm × 1000 mm)
• Outer material: Rip-stop nylon (black)
• Inner surface: Neutral silvery reflective layer
• Diffusers: Internal and external white diffusers for high light scattering
• Grid: Honeycomb grid included (mounts on front collar)
• Mount: Bowens-compatible mounting ring
• Weight characteristics: Lightweight construction due to rip-stop fabric and metal ring frame

How to use

Attach the softbox to a Bowens-compatible strobe or continuous light via the provided mounting ring. Install the internal diffuser first, then the external diffuser over the front and secure the honeycomb grid to the front collar when directional control is needed. Position the softbox at the desired distance and angle from the subject to balance softness and contrast; moving it closer increases softness and falloff, while moving it farther increases beam spread. Use light modifiers or flags as needed to shape spill light.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your light has a Bowens-type mount or that you have a suitable adapter
• Confirm that the 700 × 1000 mm size fits your studio space and shooting style
• Check transport and storage needs—the softbox folds down but requires a carrying case for safe handling

Usage recommendations

For portraits, place the softbox slightly above and angled down toward the subject to achieve natural-looking catchlights and soft shadows; attach the honeycomb when you need more directional control and contrast, and remove it for broader, softer fill. Store the unit in its carrying case when not in use to protect the rip-stop fabric and maintain even tension of the metal ring.
