First Impression was WOW super easy to setup and mount it on my Godox AD600 Pro. The quick release makes set ups and break-downs so much faster! Build quality feels solid and premium. Its great for beautiful, soft and even light thats great for video interviews and product shots

This 90cm softbox has quickly become one of my favorite lighting tools. The quick release design is excellent and it takes only seconds to go from folded in the bag to fully set up with a single click. Taking it down is just as fast which is a huge time saver during busy shoots. The build quality is impressive. Even though it is lightweight and compact it feels very sturdy thanks to the strong stainless steel ribs. When folded it is easy to carry and transport making it perfect for outdoor events location shoots and travel. The light quality is where this softbox truly stands out. The diffusion is even and natural and it preserves accurate color rendering. It produces flattering results for portraits and clean professional looking video without harsh shadows or hotspots. The standard Bowens mount works perfectly with my lights and the included storage bag is very convenient. Overall this softbox is well designed easy to use and a valuable addition to any photography or video setup. Highly recommended.

Excellent build quality, easy to assemble and transport. The diffuser softens the light beautifully, producing flattering results for portraits and video shoots. The octagonal shape creates natural-looking catchlights, and light loss is minimal. The quick and secure mounting system makes it ideal for productions where frequent setup and breakdown are needed.

Amazing soft box. It’s travel friendly, Bowens mount fit so you will find a wide range of options for it. It’s put together in 5 secs really so on the important day you aren’t playing with lights. Great purchase for beauty shoots or for the studio

Inexpensive. Was going to get the RA parabolic version. And bought this my mistake but since I was worried with my space being too small And the other being heavier. , I kept this. And it’s worked out well. For simple photos that I do, this fits my needs , a nice light, wraps around subject snd eliminated a lot of the shadows I had with my previous lights/modifier combo and it literally clicks in under 5secs. If you want to travel light, still have a little professional setup and something that can setup and breakdown in under 15secs. This works. You do have to be more careful with this as it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the parabolic versions.

Lighting makes or breaks your video or photo work — there’s no polite way around it. The SmallRig LA-O90 Quick Release Softbox aims to tame harsh lighting into creamy, professional-looking softness, while being easy enough to break down and haul around without needing a PhD in origami. ✅ What Works (Pros): Generous Size – At 35 inches (90 cm), it gives a beautifully soft, even spread perfect for portraits, product shots, or interviews. You’ll instantly notice smoother skin tones and less harsh shadows. Quick Release – The umbrella-style pop-up mechanism is genuinely convenient, letting you go from collapsed to fully built in under a minute. No wrestling with stubborn rods or cursing in front of clients. High-Quality Diffusion – Includes both an internal baffle and an external diffusion layer, giving you nice options for balancing softness and intensity. Solid Build – The materials feel robust, and the included Bowens mount adapter locks firmly in place without wobbles. Travel-Friendly – Collapses compactly for the size, with a nice carry bag included. ⚠️ What Misses the Mark (Cons): 🚫 Bulky for Tight Spaces – Even though it folds small, once opened it takes a lot of real estate, so plan for room if you’re working in cramped studios. 🚫 Mild Sagging – The large size means the outer diffusion can sag slightly, requiring occasional adjustments to keep it perfectly tensioned. 🚫 No Grid Included – For this price, a honeycomb grid would have been a welcome bonus to help control light spill. 🚫 Limited Tilt Angle on Some Stands – Depending on your stand, the size can limit your tilt range if you need to get fancy with top-down or side angles. Bottom Line The SmallRig 35” Quick Release Softbox is a workhorse tool for any serious content creator or photographer who wants beautiful, soft, cinematic lighting with minimal fuss. It combines a professional look, easy assembly, and travel-readiness at a fair price, making it an easy recommendation for most shooters. In short? It’s like bringing a cloud into your studio — big, soft, and surprisingly well-behaved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ — Four stars for great performance and quick setup, with a few minor caveats.

SmallRig is the best — this 35"/90cm softbox is no exception. I use it to light both photography shoots and my podcast, and it gives a soft, even light that’s easy to control. Setup is straightforward, the build feels sturdy, and it really makes a difference in the quality of my lighting. Highly recommend for anyone needing versatile, reliable soft lighting.

This softbox has been fantastic. It performs great and was very affordable. The quick deployment and release system just make setup and disassembly so much less of a chore, and it even comes with a neat carry bag. The fact that it comes with two layers of diffusion material AND a grid provide quite a few lighting options for users, too. Unless you need it in a different size, you can't go wrong.

Ich bin immer begeistert, wenn neue Produkte auf den Markt kommen und eine vorherige Produktgeneration erheblich verbessern. Diese Softbox ist dankt ihres neu entwickelten Öffnungs- und Schließmechanismus so ein Produkt. Großartig. Auf- und abgebaut innerhalb von Sekunden. Spart am Set wertvolle Minuten.

Excellent Softbox for Studio Lighting! I recently added the SmallRig 35”/90cm Softbox to my studio setup, and it’s been a fantastic upgrade. The quick-release mechanism is a game-changer, making assembly and disassembly swift and hassle-free. The Bowens mount compatibility ensures it fits seamlessly with my existing lights, including those from Godox and Neewer. The octagonal shape provides a beautiful, even light that’s perfect for portrait photography. The build quality is solid, and the materials feel durable, promising longevity. Overall, this softbox offers excellent value and performance for both amateur and professional.
