FAQs

What is the main benefit of a parabolic softbox?

Parabolic softboxes produce a very controlled and directional soft light with a sharp fall-off, offering a different quality of light compared to standard softboxes. They are known for creating beautiful catchlights and a defined light edge.

Does this softbox come with a light source?

No, the Godox QR-P70T is a softbox accessory and requires a separate Bowens-mount compatible light source (strobe or LED light) to function.

Can I use this softbox with my brand's lights?

If your light has a standard Bowens mount, then yes, the Godox QR-P70T should be compatible.

How quickly can I set up or take down this softbox?

Thanks to its quick-release design, setup and takedown can typically be done in under a minute once you are familiar with the mechanism.

Is an internal diffusion baffle included?

The Godox QR-P70T typically does not include an internal baffle, as its parabolic design is intended to deliver a specific type of controlled light without extensive diffusion layers.

What is the purpose of the optional grid?

An optional grid (sold separately) can be attached to further control light spill, making the light beam narrower and more focused, which is useful for precise lighting scenarios.

How should I store this softbox?

It is best stored flat or carefully folded to maintain its shape and prevent damage to the fabric and frame. Keeping it in its original packaging can help protect it.

Troubleshooting

Softbox will not lock into place

Ensure the Bowens mount speedring is properly aligned and fully seated on the light before attempting to lock it. Check for any obstructions.

Light is uneven or has hotspots

Verify the light source is centered within the softbox. Adjust the position of the light source within the mount if possible. Ensure the softbox fabric is taut.

Difficulty collapsing the softbox

Gently apply pressure to the frame's release points. Refer to the quick-release mechanism instructions if available. Avoid forcing the frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible light source with a Bowens mount.
  2. Attach the softbox to the light source by aligning the Bowens mount speedring and locking it securely.
  3. If using the quick-release mechanism, extend the frame until it locks into place.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Wipe the exterior and interior fabric with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the softbox flat or in its original packaging when not in use to maintain its shape.
