Two Layers of Diffusion

The ADS85W Easy-Open Deep Parabolic Softbox features two layers of diffusion, made from high-grade nylon, with a special fine grid design for durability. These diffusers are resistant to Discolouration, which means that you do not have to worry about the softbox affecting the colour of your lighting. These diffusers can either be used one at a time or together, giving you full control of how diffused your lighting is.

Pop-Up Deflector Dishes

The ADS85W Easy-Open Softbox comes with two dual-sided pop-up Deflector-Dishes, which enables you to use the ADS85W Fast Installation Softbox like a beauty dish. Each deflector is reversible, and has a different type of surface on each side:

• Pearl White – For neutral coloured diffused lighting, that reduces specular highlights.
• Silver – For neutral coloured lighting, with more contrast and specularity.
• Silver/Gold Mix – Specular lighting, that has a subtle warming effect.
• Gold – Specular lighting, with a more significant warming effect.

Perfect for times when you are looking for lighting that is less diffused. It also helps prevent hot spots.

AD-S85W Build-Quality Deep Parabolic Softbox 

The 85cm Deep Parabolic Softbox is made from durable high-quality rods, inserted into hardwearing nylon material which ensures that it is up to the job of enduring professional use in the field.

Easy-Access Design

The backing material, features a zipper in the main fabric, allowing for easy access to your COB LED light, strobe or Speedlite without having to remove the front diffusion. It also makes installing the softbox a lot easier.

Hexadecagonal Shape

Unlike traditional Octaboxes, the ADS85W Easy-Open Softbox features 16 rods which gives it a much rounder appearance. This produces pleasing round catchlights in the eyes of your subject, to emulate natural light sources such as the Sun. Especially desirable for portraits and commercial photography, as well as being useful for a fill or key light.

Deeper Parabolic design

Unlike traditional Octaboxes, the ADS85W Deep Parabolic Softbox uses a parabolic design, which focuses the light more effectively compared to traditional Octaboxes, allowing the light to travel over longer distances.

Purpose

This softbox has been designed to increase the effective size of your light source, producing softer shadow transitions, for more pleasing and flattering results. The diffusion layers help to reduce specularity, which prevents blown-out highlights. The deflector dish is designed to reduce hotspots for more homogenous lighting.

AD-S85W Quick Setup Deep Parabolic Softbox 

The ADS85W Easy-Open Softbox features an umbrella-like opening mechanism, which enables you to quickly and effortlessly set-up your softbox in less than a minute. This is particularly well-suited for shooting in outdoor locations, or when shooting at venues where you have limited set-up and packing-away times use. 

Godox Fitting

The ADS85W Softbox uses the smaller GODOX fitting, allowing the softbox to be a lot more compact when folded-down compared to S-Type fit modifiers. Small and lightweight, this softbox is the perfect companion to the small-compact lights that use this fitting, such as CITI400 , CITI300, GODOX AD400PRO and GODOX AD300PRO  flashes as well as  GODOX ML60 LED light.
