Softbox frame Lastolite Skylite 200 x 200 cm, frame 2000×2000 mm, weight 2.3 kg

Lastolite Skylite 200 x 200 cm frame is a structural support designed for use with large softboxes to create broad, even soft light. The frame measures 2000×2000 mm and weighs 2.3 kg, providing a balance of stability and portability for studio and location work. It serves as the rigid skeleton to tension diffusion fabrics and mount lighting heads so that modifiers maintain their shape and deliver consistent light distribution.

Advantages

The frame offers lightweight construction with sufficient rigidity to support large diffusion panels while remaining easy to assemble and transport. Its square geometry ensures even tension across the diffusion surface, reducing sagging and preserving a uniform output. The design is compatible with Skylite softbox fabrics and accommodates typical studio and location lighting heads for versatile use.

Suitable for

• Studio portrait and fashion photography requiring broad soft illumination
• On-location shoots where portable large-area diffusion is needed
• Product and still-life lighting setups needing consistent soft shadows
• Cross-lighting or overhead soft light for group and environmental portraits

Key specifications

• Closed frame outer dimensions: 2000 × 2000 mm
• Effective softbox panel size: 200 × 200 cm
• Net weight: 2.3 kg
• Square frame geometry for uniform fabric tension
• Compatibility: designed for Skylite softbox diffusion fabrics and standard studio/location light heads

How to use

Assemble the frame according to the included joint and rod layout, inserting each rod into the corresponding connector points until the square shape is formed and locks into place. Stretch the Skylite diffusion fabric over the assembled frame and secure it along the edges or with the provided fastening system to achieve even tension. Mount the lighting head to the central support or the compatible bracket, positioning the light at the recommended distance behind the diffusion panel to obtain the desired softness and spread. Check that all connectors are fully engaged and fabric is taut before powering the light.

Usage recommendations

Use the frame on a stable light stand or support system rated for the combined weight of the frame, diffusion panels, and lighting head. For travel and location work, disassemble into segments and store in a protective bag to prevent bending or damage to rods and connectors. When setting exposure, allow for the light absorption of diffusion material and adjust power or distance accordingly to maintain consistent results.
