The octagonal softboxes provide a broad light source usually used as a main light or fill but with a significant advantage over square or rectangular designs. Their shape provides natural round catchlights in eyes for beautiful portraits. RF softboxes are designed with a recessed velcro front to accept our full line of softgrids. Giving you even edge-to-edge lighting, and control over falloff and spill. The front diffuser is recessed from the edge of the softbox.
