NEEWER 35.4"/90cm Parabolic Softbox Bowens Mount, Quick Release with Diffusers/Grid/Bag for Video Continuous Lighting CB60 CB200B MS60 MS150B Q4 Compatible with Godox Amaran 100x Aputure 600d, NS90P

This is a terrific tool for making gorgeous soft light. I find it amusing that there is a note on the page that this is often returned due to its size. It's big and it's soft; precisely what is needed. As a key with a powerful fixture such as the CB300D, you can easily place at a distance for a two shot that will have no fall-off. With two used as a key and key-side fill, you can do gorgeous lighting on subjects. I use one with a CB300D as a side key, and a second one with a CB200D as the key-side fill. Suprisingly solid build. Seems like it will be durable. Everything fits precisely. Great product for the price or any price. I do recommend a stand with some beef for the combo.

If you have ever struggled with setting up a parabolic softbox for 20 minutes and wish you could get your life back, this is the softbox for you! I am immediately in love with this Neewer Bowens mount compatible modifier. It is SO EASY to set up and break down the rods (no more WWE match with those rods!) and the diffusers and honeycomb attach seamlessly to the velcro. They aren't overly heavy, and I had no trouble attaching them to the Bowens mount. The quality is beautiful, and this may be my favorite Neewer purchase (and overall photography purchase,) to date. This is the fastest softbox I've ever set up and is worth every penny. I've purchased 2 of these now, but am going to come back for other sizes because the design is hard to beat. Highly recommend!

For the money, I didn't expect such good build quality and materials. I know the size is on the listing, but I was pleasantly surprised at how large this is. This is now my new primary diffuser for both photography and videography. The 2 included white diffusers are great, and easy to attach to the frame/housing. The grid is also easy to attach, but I find myself seldom using it. The options of diffusers/grid offer great versatility and functionality. This is great for primary lighting and even overhead lighting in certain situations. Would buy again!

Very sturdy, produces amazing light and the size its just great!

The NEEWER 26-inch Parabolic Softbox has exceeded my expectations. The build quality is excellent — sturdy materials, firm rods, and a quick-setup system that really saves time during photo or video sessions. The parabolic shape delivers beautifully soft and even lighting, perfect for portraits, interviews, and product shoots. The inner and outer diffusers create a smooth, natural light, while the included honeycomb grid gives me precise control whenever I need to focus the light more directly. Compatibility is another strong point. It works perfectly with my Aputure 120d, as well as other lights like the Godox SL60W and NEEWER RGB CB60, making it a versatile tool for any studio setup. The size is ideal — large enough to provide soft, flattering light, but still compact enough not to overwhelm the space. It also breaks down quickly, and the carrying bag makes it very convenient for on-location work. Overall, this softbox provides professional-level results at a very competitive price. Highly recommended for photographers, videographers, and content creators looking to upgrade their lighting setup.

I recently purchased the Neewer 47.2" Parabolic Softbox, and it has significantly improved my photography setup. This softbox offers a quick setup and folding mechanism, making it incredibly convenient to use. The parabolic design ensures even and soft lighting, perfect for portrait and product photography. It comes with diffusers and a honeycomb grid, which allow for greater control over light diffusion and direction. Compatibility with Bowens mount lights, such as the Aputure 120d and Godox SL60W, adds to its versatility. The build quality is impressive, and the included carrying bag makes transportation easy. Despite its large size, the softbox is surprisingly lightweight and portable. Overall, the Neewer 47.2" Parabolic Softbox is a fantastic addition to any photographer's toolkit, providing professional-level lighting with ease of use and excellent build quality.

The support rod design isn't the greatest... For the larger soft boxes, like this one, you can really struggle to get the box expanded and locked in place. Maybe over time and regular use it will get easier, but my first effort to open the 47inch was anything but quick and easy as the support rods can be tricky. You can't lean into open the box and push the rods to the floor, so you have to open it the opposite way by pulling the rods upward to lock them in place. The first few are easy, but the last few I struggled. So this is obviously going to be a box that stays in the home studio instead of traveling with me to location shoots. It's not horrible by any means, in fact it is durable af, but I think the inner bracket like you find with Paul C. Buff soft boxes is a better design (for larger boxes anyway) than the support rod outer brackets. My opinion of course.

Great size and easy to use. This might not be the soft box to use on a regular basis if you’re on a running gun schedule and mobile all the time but it’s good for you outside and indoors as well

Pros 🌟 Quick Setup and Takedown 🛠️ The best thing about this softbox is how incredibly easy and fast it is to set up and fold down.

As a professional food and product photographer, I was looking to add a midsized parabolic softbox to my artificial lighting kit. After researching and narrowing down on a few options, I zeroed in on Neewer’s latest generation 33-inch Parabolic Softbox. I’ve been using Neewer products for years now and I’ve grown to like their quality, ease of use as well as affordability. I will be honest that this product is not cheap and priced competitively with other softboxes out there. But like they say you get what you pay for and it holds true for this softbox. After using the product for a bunch of shoots here are three takeaways. Quick setup and folding mechanism: I am a food photographer and conduct the majority of my photoshoots on location. Lugging around heavy equipment is the bane of every photographer’s existence. The quick set-up and folding features are a blessing saving you a ton of time and energy. Soft and directional light: This new generation light diffuser is deep, yet wide with a silver diffusion coating. It offers two layers of diffusion material and a honeycomb grid for further shaping and directing the light as needed. The softbox produces a great colour rendering index maintaining the true colours that my clients prefer. High quality but lightweight: I must admit that this softbox is huge at 33 inches yet compact enough to sit in the backseat of my Small-SUV. I love how lightweight is so it doesn’t weigh down my expensive strobe light or add pressure to my light stands. Although the ribs are not made of metal these seem quite solid and flexible too. If you’re looking to invest in a great parabolic softbox that produces beautiful artificial light that almost seems natural, this might be the product you’re looking for. It is practical, lightweight, sturdy and super easy to set up. It is a tad pricy but a bang for the dollar.

Good build Quality and comes in carrying pouch, liked the product.

Eigentlich habe ich mir diese Softbox von Neewer bestellt um sie mit meinen vorhandenen Softboxen anderer Hersteller zu vergleichen. Was soll ich sagen? Ich bin so begeistert von dieser Softbox, dass ich mir gleich eine 2te bestellt habe und überlege, meine Softboxen der anderen Hersteller gegen diesen Typ von Neewer zu ersetzen. Warum diese Überlegung? Der Lichtabfall zum Rand hin ist mit beiden Diffusertüchern sehr weich und nicht wie bei anderen Herstellern, eher hart. Auch mit Grid ist der Schatten immer noch schön weich. Dies kann ich von den anderen Herstellern nicht behaupten. Getestet wurden die Softboxen alle mit einem Neewer S102 PRO 400. Schon beim einschalten des Einstelllichts kam der Wow-Effekt. Hier gräbt Neewer den Mitbewerbern echt was ab. Der Aufbau dieser Softbox ist kinderleicht. Zuerst 2 gegenüberliegende Streben spannen und dann 2 weitere um 90° versetzte Streben spannen. Dann nach und nach die restlichen Streben spannen, fertig. Die beiden Diffuser mit dem Klett einbauen und dann kann es auch schon losgehen. Nach erfolgreichem Aufbau in nicht mal 5 Minuten stand vor mir eine schöne (auch nicht zu straffe) Softbox. Der Abbbau gestaltet sich ebenso einfach. Ich lasse die Diffusertücher allerdings eingebaut. Also mit der einen Hand eine Strebe nah am Bowensring etwas hochziehen und mit der anderen Hand den Entriegellungshebel drücken. Am besten macht man dies wie beim Aufbau. Erst zwei gegenüberliegende Paare entriegeln. Dann nach und nach die restlichen Streben. Zum verbauten Material kann ich nur soviel sagen, dass dieses einen sehr guten Eindruck macht. Der Schirmbezug ist sehr gut verarbeitet und auch aus festem Material. Die Streben machen ebenso einen stabilen und langlebigen Eindruck. Der Rig mit den Verrigellungen für die Streben ist ebenso wie der Bowensmontagering aus Auluminum gefertigt. Ich habe lange gesucht um vielleicht auch etwas nachteiliges zu finden. Gefunden habe ich nichts. Hier stimmt wirklich alles! Selbst die Tasche für die Softbox ist aus meiner Sicht und Erfahrung ausreichend und soll die Softbox auch nur gegen Staub und Schmutz schützen wenn sie im Regal liegt. Fotos erspare ich mir hier einzustellen. Denn die Produktfotos geben alles genauso wieder wie hier beschrieben. Ich gebe ich sehr gerne 5 Sterne.

Easily the best softbox I own. This is even better than the non collapsible aperture softbox I have.
