Small softbox

[scottishmonkey]

Looking around I see most suppliers have 600x900, 600x600, 300x900 or thereby but struggling to find anything at 300x300 or 300x450.

I have a Godox 600x600 collapsible which I quite like but is there anything smaller, readily available and also collapses or folds? I found a Chimera 300x450 but it's fairly expensive and doesn't collapse

How about this one. (sorry, I'm across the pond) https://www.adorama.com/fpsb12183.html About 12" X 18"

Elinchrom do some small Rotalux soft boxes which have an umbrella type mechanism.

Obvious thing for the AD200 is the Godox AD-S7 folding 18" octo.... that's why I asked what you were using.....

Thanks DekHog, I saw that one but ideally was looking for square or rectangular as I have the small beauty dish for the AD200.

Is there a reason that they are not readily available? I can mask the larger one but it's a bit of a faff and the folding ones for velcroing on to speedlights lack quality (or the ones I've come across do)

I think the reason no one makes them is a lack of a need for them.

Realistically the only time such a small softbox would actually be ‘soft’ is at distances only suitable for macro.

I have a small round pop up that would probably do the trick but not if you definitely want square.

Just a need in the USA

Which pop up do you use Phil?

Rather than small softbox

I got one as a part of AD200 kit a while ago, and pretty certain you could order them from Aliexpress.

Nobody seems to be importing them because I guess they are not very profitable and may "detract" from higher value small mods.

Besides, please note that while they are easy and super quick to install, the attachement, and the dish are made of very soft aluminium. This unfortunate feature is shared with all direct mount AD200 accessories.

This would be useful for macros (flowers, bugs, wedding rings and other small things) and crucially the dish can be used to hack and improved their large cheap octabox model (DIY round bracket required)
