Neewer 65 cm Softbox for Studio Lighting

The Neewer 65 cm softbox is a professional-grade lighting modifier designed to enhance photography and videography setups. With its lantern-shaped design, this softbox provides a wide, balanced, and shadow-free light output with 360-degree coverage, making it an essential tool for achieving soft, diffused illumination that minimizes harsh shadows and highlights subject detail.

The primary advantage of this softbox lies in its efficient design and ease of use. Featuring a durable construction with 12 robust ribs, it maintains its lantern shape over long-term use while ensuring consistent light quality. The inclusion of a skirt with touch fasteners allows for precise control over the light's direction and spread, offering versatility for various creative lighting scenarios. Its quick-folding mechanism and lightweight build make it highly portable for on-location shoots.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography and interviews
• Video streaming and content creation
• Product photography requiring soft, even lighting
• Studio setups needing 360-degree ambient illumination

When it may not be suitable

This softbox may not be the ideal choice for photographers who require highly directional, hard light for dramatic high-contrast effects, as its primary purpose is to diffuse and spread light evenly. Additionally, users with lighting equipment that does not feature a standard Bowens mount will require an additional adapter to use this product.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 65 cm (26 inches)
• Mounting type: Standard Bowens mount
• Construction: 12 durable ribs
• Material: Nylon and aluminum
• Weight: 1.8 kg
• Dimensions: 65 cm x 65 cm x 56 cm

How to use

To set up the softbox, align the Bowens mount with your studio light or LED monolight and rotate it until it clicks securely into place. The lantern structure can be expanded in a single motion using the integrated mechanism. If you need to restrict the light spread, attach the included skirt using the touch fasteners to direct the illumination exactly where it is needed. After use, simply release the tension mechanism to collapse the softbox into its flat form for storage in the provided bag.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your lighting fixture is compatible with the Bowens mount system.
• Verify that your studio space or location has enough clearance for a 65 cm diameter modifier.
• Consider the weight of the softbox when choosing a light stand to ensure stability.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, ensure the softbox is fully expanded before mounting it to your light source. When transporting, always use the included storage bag to protect the fabric and internal ribs from damage.
