I love Godox products! I have 10 of them in total now. Flash: AD200 Pro, V860III, MS300 Trigger: X2T-fuji, Xpro-Sony Modifier: UB-85W umbrella softbox, UE 80cm Octagon softbox, QR-P120 parabolic softbox Continuous LED: SL-60 and 2x TL-30 Great value for the money. I know it is not as good as Profoto, Aperture and other big names out there. But it is a really good entry point for us photographer to get into the game. It creates a decent enough light that most regular clients will not notice a difference. While learning and making money, you can invest into those Pro gear later that can suit the commercial needs.

The parabolic umbrella is the most interesting one.

I have a studio and usually use large octos with a collapsible speed ring. The octo folds flat like a taco and is easy to hang on my wall, extending only about 3 inches. To set up, unfold, and snap into place. EZ!

I love this channel,really help me choosing new gear and lighting equipment 👍

This video was so helpful cause I just purchased one and it’s arrived today!

I like the rectangular soft boxes. Not much of the light is wasted or thrown out while giving very even coverage.

why the umbrellas are sized in inch and the parabolic umbrella modifier in cm? Please use always both systems and keep the information which one exactly is used for the shown pictures in the corner of the screen

Thankyou for the video This one is the best I have ever seen on YT!

Thank you so very much for this thorough input which has clarified so much in my walk towards off cam flash photo.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!

I saw that the fibre are light weight but didn't last long ! Broke too easily in SB-UBW-80cm broke rods in 3 months , can we reapir them ? As spending on equipments arent too much easy.

Thank you so much for the very informative video!

Brilliant, guys. Thank you

Needed this video! Thank you!

I did a test, wondering if it was worth it to only use the bigger diffusion of their softboxes and remove the inner one to maximize light output. Results : not worth it Only two tenth of a stop gained at 1m, and a significant hotspot in the middle that is uncomfortable to look at. (tested on a Godow SZ200Bi + SB-GUE120) Btw in the naming I believe UE and GUE are the same only G come with the grid.

Insightful!

Nice presentation! What soft box or umbrella you would you recomend for v1 flash to use in outdoors?

Hey thanks for making this video really helpful

You are amazing man! Thank you 👍🏻

Thank you :) what is your recommendation for a V1 and an AD100pro if I want to use the softox or an umbrella? I really like to move around to take pictures

Which modifier is good for portrait photography and outdoor shoots? And what is the use of grids?? Thank you

Wish you guys also included their beauty dishes. Nice video,anyway.

Thanks for breaking them down. Which one might be the quickest to assemble and disassemble for outdoor shoots? I would like one option for soft light and one option for crisper contrasty light if possible. I have an AD 600 Pro coming as my light Thanks!

Very helpful, thanks

Nice videos! How would I mount an umbrella diffusor on the Godox M600D, it seems there is no umbrealla mount on KnowLED products?

Love your Videos... very educational. Just a quick question, if i need to replace a rod or two for the Parabolic Umbrella will i manage to get one and who sell them?

How can you have those nice background light? Do you have a video about those settings?

I have a GODOX 60x90 umbrella softbox. No part number on it, that I can see.

You guys are awesome! If only there was a Hypop branch in the Philippines, i'd really patronize your store.

Thanks!

Video for setting up an Umbrella Parabolic soft box.

Just ordered the SB-FW, had no idea they were so tall.

which softbox is best for creating videos like on youtbe

Thanks for the superhelpful video. Can anyone recommend the most suitable type of softbox for photographing artworks ? Example Canvas on white wall

Ok, I have a non collapsible octa 120, no velcro, diffuser is mounted over the edge, and I need the grid for it. Can't find it anywhere, only the velcro ones for a collapsible octa.

No example photos for the octagon softboxes?

After a week reading articles and watching video i finally found what i was looking for. I need to buy a softbox and i was thinking the P120H to use for outdoor photography within the Godox VL200 or VL300. Any suggestion? is the VL200 enough or i will need the 300 version? Do you know the distance between the model and the softbox with such lights? Thank you, Christian

I have 2 x E45 godox lights. They are so bright on 1 percent and im only 1 meter away. Im hoping a soft box will help. I dont know anything lol

Have. Godox 860bii what would be best setup for portraits?

Would you recommend AD-S85S or SB-GUE120+S2 bracket for the ad400 pro? Is there a quality difference? I like Rembrandt lighting and do on location shoots mainly. Thank you

Thank you for the video which modifier with bowens mount would you recommend for product photography?

Which is a good modifier for Newborn shoots?

4:35 Is there a video about the detailed assembly of sb-uf ?

Really informative video thanks for making the video. I have a question, I am thinking of buying softbox for my Godox SK-400 II light, so I am confused between 1. Rectangle Softbox (SB-FW) and 2. Parabolic Softbox (P90L, P90H, P120L, P120H). Mostly I will be shooting products and occasionally family members and kids. Which one should I consider for both usage. Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Hi there, thanks for the great video. I have gone with the SB-UE120 and mounted it on my SL-60W. Can you please recommend a stand for this combo? I have tried and failed to keep this steady with two light stands already, they were both bending forward under the weight of the light & big softbox and also the feet did not seem to support it very well and threatened to fall at any second so I started researching again but they all kind of look the same as those I have so... Any help appreciated, thanks in advance! 😊

I wish you would have photo samples available for each modifier.

Instead of showing us your face for 90% of the time, maybe show footage of the thing you are talking about.

i am a beginner and want to use soft box continuous light for product photography for my ecommerce website mainly clothing photography....i saw a 60x60 square softbox kindly suggest if i should buy or not?

Good analysis. Please I really need your advise, in a two light setup, what size of Octagon and Rectangular softbox is Ideal for headshots, half-body and full-length portraits?

which one is great for versatility from portrait to product - like the holy grail of modifiers for any job?

Do you reccomend FW soft box to light green screen? Does it work like kinoflow?

I Have Godox SK400 What is the use of usb of socket My Request can u plz clear the question sir..

Good overview. I would note however, that Godox strip boxes are quite useless. Very poor light distribution - at least half of the height is wasted, as the light is emitted almost entirely around the hotspot in the middle. I measured 4 stops lower light 10cm from the edge compared to the middle (120x30 cm box). You get absolutely no benefit of the large size - there is almost no light left when you reach the edges. I wish you would take a photo of the softboxes directly from the front, so we can see how evenly the light spreads. Typically here, the low end brands suffer a bit compared to the professionals.

I am looking for parabolic umbrella soft box 130 cm silver does it come grid

Hello Sir, thanks for the detailed explanation and sample shots. I have a question - I am a beginner photographer from India and I was asked by a fashion startup company to shoot their apparel with models/mannequins in the studio. Our budget is very limited and I am looking at Godox AD300 Pro with a 120 CM Octabox as my key light. I already have a Godox TT685 and a small softbox which I can use as a rim/hair light or as a secondary source to light up the background. Could you please suggest if the AD300Pro and 120 CM Octobox would be enough to light up head to toe shots? Please suggest.

click the link up above ? i dont see any link !

What flash unit did u used for the Godox octagon sb-ue ???

Whate size of parabolic umbrella was used in this shot?

In India how can I buy it ? You got any websites infos if so plz guide me .

Thank you for that Video !!

Sincere appreciation for this Educational tips. Thanks and God bless you. I'd really appreciate a private medium with you Christian.

valuable information

Great videos

Thanks a lot!

Some examples would've been good.

Where can i buy the real brand with a cheap cost ?

I like Godox modifiers, but until they can be bothered to update their trigger and strobe systems to full compatibility with Canon mirrorless bodies, I'll look elsewhere.

PLEASE SHOW MORE on what you feature and not mostly you on video . . .

Please don't call the p90 a parabolic..that is far from a true parabolic shape

This is very dated!
