Octagonal Softbox Bowens Mount

This is a fantastic addition to my photography setup. It provides soft, even lighting that enhances portraits and product shots beautifully. The Bowens mount makes it easy to attach to my strobes, and the build quality is solid for the price. Setup is quick, and it folds down compactly for storage. A great choice for photographers looking for high-quality lighting on a budget. Highly recommend!

Used this for an outdoor shoot recently and it worked great.

This is a very well constructed softbox. Materials are great quality. I have other soft boxes and what stands out for me is how easy it is it open and close. I attached a video but often the rods are hard to pull in to place and even harder to release via the clips on the bowens ring. As you can see on the video this is really easy to release. You get the softbox as well as an inner diffusion baffle and out one. They also give you a grid which is nice. The only place they cheaped out is the carry bag which is a soft nylon bag rather than the thicker, stronger bags from other brands but I think its a decent compromise. Overall, very happy with this. Great quality.

Over the last few months I’ve tested several lighting accessories by Neewer, primarily based around their MS60B 65w and CB60 70w video lights. They have a Bowens mount and are compatible with a number of soft boxes and diffusers. The Octagonal softbox comes with a storage bag, and opens up very quickly ready for attaching to the Bowens mount on your light. It has a detachable honeycomb grid to provide more light options, and can provide a number of ways for you to manipulate your light either in a studio or out on location. It weighs about a kilo so is relatively portable and collapses down well. It’s a touch pricey, maybe, but it did everything it claimed to and I felt it was well built. Neewer once again have made a solid product.

This is a great, small octagonal softbox by Neewer. The quality of materials throughout is great. The click in place ribs are easy to assemble and a simple press of a clip makes it easy to fold down. You can leave the diffusion in place when dismantling too and the attached strap holds it all in place, saves a bit of time next time you use it. This size of softbox is perfect for using smaller lights like Neewer's COB lights and their hand holdable video lights. Diffuses the light beautifully and you can add 2 layers of soft diffusion, which is a bonus and also comes with the honeycomb grid for extra control of your lighting. Slots straight back into the nylon carry bag that comes with it when you're finished so its ready to go for your next shoot. Great bit of kit.

What I like the most about this softbox is how compact it is without compromising too much on the output quality; yes I prefer the larger ones but they aren't ideal for carrying around certain events such as Comic Con. Setting this softbox up takes barely 2 minutes thanks to its pop-out and lock design; the diffusers and grids feature Velcro to secure them inside and they hold on very well. When not in use, it has a nice carry bag which fits everything inside.

Really nice soft box that fits easily to my lights. Simple instructions are included and the effect is easy to adapt to give a softer more diffuse light. The whole package folds up easily and slips back into the bag provided. Neewer are one of my favourite brands and this is a good example of why. Very good value for the enthusiast photographer and those wanting to get better control of light in their work.

I have a home photo studio and have been practising my portraits. Having a direction light and honey cone frame really does accentuate the face and this bit of kit does it so well. Easy to set up on my lights, lightweight and robust. Pleased with the results.
